Red Hawks would of been so much better

Blows my mind how they haven't been pressured right along with doing the tomahawk chop to change. The braves had to drop that chant. 

The Braves were doing the chant and the chop in the WS this year.

Doubt they’ll need to, the term ‘redskin’ is derogatory. Chief is not. 

If anything is derogatory, it’s the crowd chanting.  Same with the Atlanta Braves.

Wrong.   Crude and rude behavior by fans is sad, but officially embracing rude and crude as part of a team's official name encourages fan bad behavior.

[GunnerBill]

Commanders? Yea. I hate it.

[SoCal Deek]

Commando? Interesting choice for sure. It ought to make for some great crowd shots! 👍

Commies for short???? 🤔 

 

People in the region are so bitter over this.  There's no obvious nicknames like Caps, Nats or the Wiz.

2 years.....for that.

Not terrible, but I thought they should have just embraced the simplicity of the WFT branding.

[UConn James]

White pinstriping around the numbers and helmet logo… but not on the center stripe. The matte finish is turrible. Huge chest wordmark, and on the maroon jersey, they actually outline it with an additional stripe on top and bottom. BFBS - Black for black’s sake. On edit: And no stripes on the pants, just pajamas.

 

It hits so many of the trash design elements.

 

🤦🏻‍♂️.

I can’t see many fans actually buying this dreck. They’ll just wear the previous old ones.

Bland, white label, in 10 years you could convince people it was the original name… 

 

Only merchandising demand a new name.

This has made me realize how little I care about team nicknames.

There are some brutal uniforms in the league. Glad ours are one of the best

[JoPoy88]

Uniforms are hilariously bad too.

Yes. There’s no consistency across these. Very amateurish

This is the key to everything NFL.

[Giuseppe Tognarelli]

I really can't believe they didn't come up with an actual graphic logo. Where is the commander? This is just pathetic, and I really feel for Washington fans.

[BillStime]

Wow, they should have just kept WFT.  What a mess...

[BuffaloBillyG]

I thought the name Red Hogs was a no brainer. Pays tribute to the players of the past. Keeps the same traditions (the song Hail to the Redskins is easily now sung "Hail to the Red Hogs). Even the #HTTR stays the same. Merchandise would be pretty cool. Stuffed hogs, the old piggie noses ect. 

 

I said months ago that if they picked another name they were idiots. I forgot to factor in that Dan Snyder is in fact, an idiot. My bad.
