    (New Poll) The Washington Commanders Brand 2.0: Beer Drinkers and Hail Raisers

    I would also suggest including a decent Washington Football museum at the new stadium. And I mean a nice museum. Start from 1932 to the present. Include a section on the name controversy. Give Marshall credit for the good things he did and cite the bad things. Give the Washington Federals a bit...

    (New Poll) The Washington Commanders Brand 2.0: Beer Drinkers and Hail Raisers

    Sad to say, I do not like much, save for the winning. Uniforms: Don't like them, especially the black ones. Just use any uniform from 1969 to 2015 or so. Hell I even liked those throwback ones they used a few times back in the 90s. Logo: Good God, who thought that a good idea? Use a block W or...

    Josh Harris Speaks... Commanders is permanent name.

    For me, the fact that Snyder chose it is secondary. It is simply a boring-ass name chosen in a panic when better options were and still are available. If Snyder had chosen something better, none of us would mention him in this context. But he did not. The fact that he chose it makes me like it...

    Josh Harris Speaks... Commanders is permanent name.

    I get that the merchandise is selling, but that is in spite of the Commanders name (which loads of other teams' fans think lame as well). It is because of Jayden Daniels. He could play for any team and the merch would sell. If we were still the Redskins, it would sell. If Jayden Daniels...

    Josh Harris Speaks... Commanders is permanent name.

    +1 I cited my resume- fan since 1971 - and was very polite. No mention of Snyder or bringing back Redskins. I suggested what I have said here: Switch to Redhawks, Redwolves, or Warriors and use the R helmet.

    Anybody wishing JKC had just left the team to John Jr? Think of the insanity we would have avoided.

    What Would You Like For The New Name Of This Team?

    I see. Yea you are right. Personally, I would be happy with a block W, like the Senators had back in the 50s.

    What Would You Like For The New Name Of This Team?

    Respectully disagree. There are several better names and they could create a better W. We could cut a deal for Red Storm. Think of the marketing options-- Hail Storm instead of Raise Hail.

    I used the one on the website.

    Josh Harris Speaks... Commanders is permanent name.

    I have sent a firm but polite email. I respectfully ask others do the same.

    Josh Harris Speaks... Commanders is permanent name.

    You could be right. But a league that allows Al Davis & Son to move a storied franchise around like a three card monte dealer should not be dogmatic about a franchise wanting another change. Especially when said league first backed us up and then capitulated. And furthermore, the current name...

    Josh Harris Speaks... Commanders is permanent name.

    + 1 Must be something in the water around here. When Pollen changed the Bullets to Wizards, they claimed that was the best available. Their original name was Zephyrs which is better than Wizards.

    Josh Harris Speaks... Commanders is permanent name.

    Gotta ask, wouldn't JD5's jersey sell no matter where he was or what it looked like? Put his name and number on a Theismann style jersey and it would sell (I would buy one then). I still have a shot of my kid and all his friends at daycare wearing RGIII jerseys. Sure, we are everybody's darling...

    Josh Harris Speaks... Commanders is permanent name.

    That's the thing. Look how many divergent opinions we diehards have about a different name. To me, the answer was always obvious: Redhawks, Redwolves, Redsomething. Traditional B&G uniforms with the R logos. Minimal disruption to history and traditions (1/2 word!). But most don't see it that way...

    Josh Harris Speaks... Commanders is permanent name.

    Honesty, I do not believe Snyder was ever a fan. I just don't. Snyder, like Harris, is slightly older than me. I think he had a casual awareness of them during the George Allen era and then jumped on bandwagon during the Gibbs era. No evidence, just a vibe. I have no doubt his dad took him to a...

    Josh Harris Speaks... Commanders is permanent name.

    The first of many emails today. Then a polite letter via snail mail. Harris is a year older than me and grew up a mile or two from my neighborhood. He remembers the R logo more than I do. I will remind him that he can use that and rename the team. I will not use the word stupid although it is...

    Josh Harris Speaks... Commanders is permanent name.

    Oh for the love of God, this is madness. Everybody start writing Harris and tell him Commanders is lame. Think it won't work? It was not too long ago that a small, but very vocal minority forced a grand old franchise to ditch its beloved name. I would think we reasonable fans could do just as...

    What Would You Like For The New Name Of This Team?

    It can work with any two syllable name (Redhawks, Redwolves, etc). However, I think that almost anything that hints at Native American themes will bring trouble. That battle is not over and the new fronts will be KC, Atlanta, etc.

    What Would You Like For The New Name Of This Team?

    I hear you. Ironically, we had all the evidence, both objective and subjective, on our side. All the other side had was a histrionic soundbyte that did not stand up to scrutiny. But it became a bit of a cause celebre.
