I have to admit this side by side comparison actually sold me on the white outline. I’m good to go with either but asked to choose between the two I do have to go with white outline. Does pop a bit more.
Sounds probable we will have four, like last year. The new alt is hopefully the 70th variation with a spear helmet. I think the black is too popular with the young ones to eliminate it entirely. They just need to execute it better.
Up to 2022, you were right on the black uniforms. We are...
I think everybody is open to some changes as long as they like the changes lol. Having the old uniforms be the mainstays will ground the franchise in its visual heritage. The alt and the black one provide room for experimentation. Once the new ones are fully revealed it will be telling which...
I agree with this sentiment. Not terrible. Not the name I would have picked, but there are absolutely worse names than Commanders. There is potential here for something very cool with the Greco-Roman influence and the team moving back to the City.
In addition to being easily obtainable, Commanders was a “safe” choice…which I think is a large part of why it is not going anywhere also. The people that hate it just don’t like it…but it’s about as far as you can get from any rational criticism on its face.
At least nobody is out protesting...
I really think the classic visual identity returning is the key to this whole situation now.
When people watch the games, they will see the team they have always known. The name becomes secondary. Even though it’s unlikely, I’d be fine with them leaving the name Commanders off of all of the...
I am pretty confident they have evaluated the situation and concluded there’s no substantial gain to be had by rebranding again—especially if the alternative names involve years of legal battles or backdoor negotiations. They’ve likely also realized that it will take a generation for this brand...
Commanders is better or equal to any name that isn’t a Wolf, a Warrior, or Sentinel. There are a few others maybe. Gladiators…Centurions, Spartans. Something overtly Greco-Roman if they went all in on that look.
To rebrand again to Presidents, Admirals, Monuments, or Armada just because it...
Yup, it’s all guessing at this point. The problem is there is no name that is obtainable that would find most fans supporting it. If there was, we would have thought of it long before now.
I can’t see them rebranding two years after the new stadium opens even if it is the 100th Anniversary. By then Commanders will likely be fully established, and I suspect most fans will eventually get behind the Greco-Roman direction.
