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

[Letthepointssoar]

I just ordered 4. One for my little guy and 3 for me. Praying they at least come in before MNF in KC.

 

[Riggo44]

Well, not everybody but most of the big names.

Why do they have Theismann and Williams, but not Riggins, Jacoby, or Monk?

That is odd on Riggo for sure. Maybe they are coming down the road.

The only Hall of Famer we can buy is Green--Monk, Grimm, C. Taylor, Jurgensen, Huff...no one else.

I would LOVE a Jacoby jersey. It's criminal he doesn't have a golden jacket.

Hopefully in time they add all those. I would like to see a customizable option where you can pick anybody from our past and create that Jersey.

I mean how many people are salivating at the chance to buy a custom “Super Bowl era” Haynesworth?

Maybe a number retirement, with new burgundy jerseys next year.

I got a Mitchell and Ness Riggins Jersey yesterday. Also a new hat

 

[Riggo44]

My dad and I are going the Commanders/Seahawks game in November--I really wanted to get him a non-Chinese-made Monk jersey.

If I remember correctly, Riggins was very outspoken early on when his number and name appeared on a Commanders jersey.

Yeah the one I bought doesn't say commanders on it

 

[Commander PK]

Knowing what we know of John Riggins, the fact he was outspoken about his disdain for his name and number appearing on a Commanders jersey is hardly surprising. You never had to wonder what the man was thinking.

😂

Come on, loosen up, you’re too tight.

Sandra Day, lol…legendary.

For some reason my mind just went to that scene in Independence Day when they troll Russ in the restaurant. Has nothing to do with John Riggins. “Have a couple drinks and he will tell you all about it…crazy stuff”

It’s a bad copy but this scene lol.



😂

This is absolutely the right approach. The new ownership group is crushing it.

LOVE IT!!!

They are creating a legit identity around a name that nobody wanted. I’ve said from the beginning the name makes sense for Washington if appropriately framed and they are finally starting to make it mean something. There are several elements you can take from that video that can be used in branding and even the design of the stadium down the road

I guess some people will see it that way PK but you know, some others could say, the fact that after three years they're still trying to, or feel it necessesary to explain to fans " wtf " their team name means ... tells you something.
