(Nevermind on the Fred Smith part I was wrong on that)
I’ve come to realize the single biggest reason why things are much quieter now is because none of the major partners or retailers have agreed to stop working with or selling the gear of other Native themed teams. If Nike decides to stop...
AngryChuckT I agree with you that we still might be the Washington Warriors now with the Wetzel logo if he had been forward thinking enough to bite the bullet when he still had that trademark. I think he and so many others just couldn’t read the tea leaves. I’m not gonna sit here and type that...
I think it’s just a 50th anniversary tour, and they do have the blessing of Neil’s family. Should they try to release new material as Rush? Would be interesting to see how that goes over, but it doesn’t bother me they are touring as Rush. The background video in that first performance alone...
For me, I see it this way. The loudest opposition in 2020 didn’t create the issue. They rode a wave of broader pressure that had been building for years. Snyder’s situation may have accelerated it, but the reality is the writing had been on the wall for a long time. Fred Smith’s actions caused...
I wish this was the same brother.. but it isn’t.
There is nothing that can occur at this point that will suddenly make the name Washington Redskins and our Native American logo seem less controversial, less racial, and less of a problem… so much less that the NFL endorses us going back to it...
I knew someone would make that April fools joke… but I just don’t find it all that funny. These wounds run deep, and all it will serve to do is rev up the “change the name back or else” crowd again.
For me, I would like to move forward. I realize some never will, and that is their choice…...
Yep, at one point it was reported to be 65,000, then 70,000 now 75,000. I believe the original RFK sat about 55,000 so this one would seat 20,000 more than that one did.
I don’t know if it’s been mentioned in the thread up to this point but “A Few Good Men” is great.
The climax of the film is iconic, but I have always questioned the complete loss of self control Colonel Jessup has at the end of the film. Yes he had an out of control ego… but he was no fool.
Same here, feathers aren’t important to me, but I think it’s just everybody who is a fan of the team trying to come up with ways for Commanders to connect to the past in a way that was meaningful to them.
Whether it be the classic uniforms, the spear/feathers, a script W that looks like the...
Here's a question for the masses, helmet itself aside.
What do you all think of the Commander's wordmark on that helmet compared to the current wordmark? I like the script version better I think. Looks more like the old Redskins wordmark...which I'm sure is what they were trying to do...
The NFL has relaxed the rules on a lot of this stuff, that’s why we’re seeing so many variations now. They’ve realized more variations mean appealing to a wider audience which means selling more gear.
