The Washington Football Team did grow on me as well. But living in the DMV area, the Commanders has grown on me a little. But the most important thing is winning. No matter what you change your name to or how cool your team name is, it means nothing unless you start winning. Love that Dale is a huge fan of the team.

I wish they would be the Warriors and get back to the look and feel as they once were. Get the old uniforms back. Red Wolves would have the look and feel of an expansion team, just like Commanders does. At least Red Wolves sounds better than Commanders, so wouldn't mind it that much. BTW, Football Team was never really a nickname. It was describing the football team in Washington that didn't have a name.

Put a statue up of the man who designed it right next to a bronzed statue of the logo. Pay the family. Move on. As a fan since 84' I totally wish it would come back but obviously that's impossible at this point. Dan ruined everything! Happy.Thanksgiving. 😂

I’m 100% pro-Redskins. But the echo chamber hate of Commanders is a little excessive. I find nothing wrong with the name. The reason people hate it so much is obviously their attachment to Redskins and the fact that there’s no familiarity with it. There are many generic established names that aren’t the greatest, but they’re known. If Washington somehow returned to dominance, I think the name debate would die.

Go get 'em, Dan!! You have such an abundance of like-minded fans with you!! You might be amazed....or you already are in the know, and have the confidence that we're with you!! N.E. Patriots fan here....around many, many years! We gotta have that whole traditional helmet back!! Imagine the STANDING OVATION there will be when the traditional is returned... Wow!! ...and MARKETING?? Nice!! The UnAmericans have pushed color as being 'race'. Oh yeah?? Well, if they push 'Black' man, 'White' man, 'Yellow' man....why did the political Wokies and their culture-killing instructors eliminate the 'RED' man!? Sounds kinda 'racist' (satirical humor) and hypocritical to ME!! (Remember this at election time.) Let's bring back the deserving 'Red' man, or REDSKINS, now! Convince ownership, Dan. We're with you, and we look to the days for GLORY to return! Imagine an Opening Day ovation, and probably many during the coming season!! Let's go! Amen! (Always worth mentioning...Positive!)

I wish Washington would go back to being the Redskins and the Wash. NBA team go back to being the Bullets. Since they won't go back to being the Redskins, they should be called the Hogs since that was the other nickname they called themselves during their glory years. I remember they had fans in the stands at RFK with their Skins gear wearing those hog snouts. Maybe call themselves the Washington Warthogs. That way they can incorporate the "W" for Washington & Warthogs.
