That is absolutely a valid point.
Om has made this point as well. My only counter to that mindset is - Commanders is a terrible name not just because the 'Get off my lawn' generation (hand raised) that grew up as Redskins fans rejects it, but because no one knows what exactly it means or represents. One of the reasons that the team has struggled so mightily to create great uniforms and swag is that there is no real identity associated with the current name. It's vaguely military, but the team seems to even shy away from embracing that. If you want to name a team to celebrate the military, there's a ton you could do. Highlight a different military unit at every game, wear that unit's patch on the uniform for the game. Let former members of that unit into games for free, highlightcelebrate the unit's history at halftime, make the alternative uniform camouflage, there are just endless possibilities. Of course, celebrating the military is in and of itself controversial in today's society, so the team only tiptoes up to it. Our logo is a letter. Because no one knows what a 'Commanders' logo should even look like.
It's just BAD. Most fans know it. The Front Office and Owners know it. Everyone knows it. Will we all die a slow death if they don't change it? Of course not. We'll accept it because we have no choice. But it will always have the stank of forced change, Dan Snyder, and Jason Wright on it.
I think if they moved to something the bulk of fans would embrace, such as Wolves or Warriors, it would be loudly cheered and we could move forward with really cool logos, uniforms, and a fresh identity. I have no idea if it's even a real possibility at this point.
