dogwelder Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 The number of people losing it and giving up on the team just over the new name is laughable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bad name, but most new team names over the last thirty years have been mediocre or worse. (The Kraken, however, is brilliant.) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 At least it's a plural name. No Heat, Wild, etc... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Also - the best part is that the team has done NOTHING since last night to try and pretend the name leak hasn't gotten out 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 It is kind of amazing and not surprising at all that the Washington media can discover the team name almost months before the fact but the sexual harassments and cheerleaders stories was a complete shock to them. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) And by fans I mean 5 to 10 judging twitter From first glance it is basically last year's logo with COMMANDERS. So yeah about as lazy as you would expect The other funny thing is that apparently they consider the year of the championship the year of the Super Bowl.

Mister TV Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I found it amusing that they talked about keeping the burgundy and gold colors then show a picture of the away jersey which has no gold and looks like something from the Cardinals reject pile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Also love that they thought it was gonna be a safe space to reveal the name and get good pub and there is Jason Wright getting peppered with questions about the sexual assault allegations against the team 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I mean the name is fine. Nothing exciting but nothing offensive, a typical 'new' sports team name. But Washington has bigger issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Some things from the Washington Post Other things from the story Quote Such was the case for another name Washington considered: D.C.F.C., for Washington D.C. Football Club. That mark is owned by the USL Championship soccer team Detroit City FC, whose colors are also burgundy and gold. The reason Tanya Snyder was heavily involved in the uniform design is because she "has a background in the fashion industry" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
