Washington Commanders may have to change their name again

[Draconator]

Wouldn't the front office check on something like this before changing the name? Oh, that's right. It's a Dan Snyder run team.

 

 

[Don Otreply]

That’s so Snyder, if it was us, I’d say it was Billsy 😂

[Royale with Cheese]

This is actually a good thing.

[DaggersEOD]

They should just go back to Redskins. 

[The Red King]

WFT actually grew on me, tbh.

I'm one of those who does not think the name is derogatory. It was a classic logo. No one names a team after a group that is not embraced as valuable. Why do that? But if it is too volatile an issue, going back to Washington Football Team isn't a bad fall back. I started to like it once I got used to it.

New name and logo all in one fine package.

WFT now trademarked but WTF is available.

 

I work at USPTO and knew this was coming.

The reason for the denial was: (1) the existence of a trademark for “Commanders’ Classic”; and (2) pending applications filed by a man in the D.C. area.

Two? I wonder who else did it.

[BillsFanForever19]

Damn, I loved calling them The Commies.

The only name worse than the Commanders…

[Ridgewaycynic2013]

Allow me to humbly suggest:

 

The Washington Taggerts.

 

 I want rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, a**-kickers, s***-kickers and Methodists.

My high school alma mater is one of the NYS schools that needs to change their mascot to keep state funding this fall. If the national outrage is anything like the local outrage they need to just pick a name immediately and move forward. 

 

I’ve never seen a bunch of boomers who haven’t lived in the area for 30+ years get so bent out of shape about a school changing from “Indians” to something else. We get it, your glory days have long since faded. It’s gonna be ok.

 

 

 

TBH they can’t do much worse than the commies 

[Gugny]

I TOTALLY embraced “Washington Football Team” and their stripped down uniforms. 
 

I thought it was brilliant and wish they’d stayed the course.

Why does everyone care so much about the name of an arena league team?

They should have went with The Rocks... Cleveland Rocks. Had a theme song built right in.

I’m sure it is trademarked but I always liked the USFL’s Washington Federals.

Commanders is an awful name. I liked The Washington Football Team
