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

    This outfit has some good stuff: www.teepublic.com I have not ordered any Redskins gear, yet. Rather I ordered one of my college shirts with block letters, a design my dear alma mater has abandoned. And a Washington Bullets t-shirt!

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

    Not quite the same thing, but I have always been amused that the Wizards continue to sell Washington Bullets gear at the arena and on their website store. The late Abe Pollin, after owning a team called the Bullets for 31 years, woke up one morning and decided the name was unacceptable. Well...

    Washington Commanders to Retire #44

    I was waiting for that one. Then he fell asleep while then VP Bush made a speech. I remember a quote from someone that clarified, "No he did not fall asleep during GB's speech. He fell asleep during every speech." The man likes to have a good time.

    Washington Commanders to Retire #44

    This is ... GREAT NEWS. One of the greatest moments of my life was SB 17 when he scored that TD after stiff arming Don McNeil. Honestly, I figured he get a 1st. Be he went all the way. Pure bliss. Besides being a legendary HOFer, Riggo is a charming and very, very funny guy. Long ago I...

    Monte Coleman #51 RIP

    Tough to say. The last time our team was good- and I mean consistently rather than sporadically good- Monte Coleman was on the team and still had a couple of seasons left in the tank. I was still in middle school when he arrived. By the time he retired, I had graduated from both high school...

    Monte Coleman #51 RIP

    Great Player, Great Man. I thought he would play here forever- and he nearly did. 16 years and 4 Super Bowl appearances. Plus a lot in between all that. RIP Monte Hail to a great Redskin

    Yea me too. That's the problem with us. We're self hating. ;)

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

    As usual, I am underwhelmed. I love the traditional/SB uniforms although I am not sure why we ever felt the need to deviate from them in the first place. Ok, one mistake corrected. Cool. I have never liked the W much at all. Putting the spear through it does not make it any worse though, so...

    Call it Atlantis and rename the team the Redfish. Swim on, swim on, till you have won, Sons of Washington (Glugg, Glugg, Glugg!)

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

    This kind of recalls those photos of Jason Wright teasing us with glimpses of the (then) new uniforms.

    They should change it because it's lame.

    The Stadium Thread

    Perhaps they could make the facades of the garages resemble the stadium. My alma mater is mostly Gothic buildings and the new ones- including the parking garage- get a Gothic stone facade.

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

    Yea it's ok. :cool: I still remember an intrepid reporter asking JKC about the name after winning our 2nd Super Bowl. It had been festering for a long time and the mob exploited a killing to get it done. Rather ignoble to say the least. I would not doubt that Goodell thought his exile was a...

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

    It disappeared after the players started kneeling during the National Anthem and a cop killed someone in Minneapolis. From there, a national hysteria ensued and people incredulously linked all of that to football team name that had been around since the 1930s. The media, including the venerated...

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

    Can't say I agree. The name controversy predates Snyder. Colleges (Stanford, Miami of Ohio, St Johns, North Dakota) had already ditched the Native American themes. It was embryonic, but it was there. Granted, having an Art Rooney type owner might have defused some tension and bought time...

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

    I certainly do not object, but I am nonetheless confused. For years I was told the name and logo were akin all kinds of vile things: Rebel flags, Minstrel shows, cross-burnings, SS regalia (hey Graham Platner). and golliwogs. Then in a fit of nationwide hysteria, the NFL suddenly agrees and out...

    They should plan carefully. The view of the parking garages is the one blemish on the otherwise excellent Nats Park.

    Robber Barons might be a more appropriate term. :sneaky:

    The Stadium Thread

    My guess- and that's all it is- is that there was big opposition from neighborhood residents. It did not stop the stadium, but Harris & Co can throw them a bone by "diminishing" tailgating.
