They should have stuck with Washington Football Team.  That was a unique name in the NFL and is something they could have built on.

Problem was they were about to be sued for false and misleading advertising.

On a similar note, I took a job in and moved to northern Virginia when the NBA team renamed themselves to the Wizards.  The standing joke was that the name Washington Bullets was too violent, so they were going to change it to just the Bullets.

It does.  I didn't like it when they unveiled it, but that aside it will now be linked to Dan Snyder.

Time for them to flush the toilet.  The Commanders name is part of that, I think.

Weren't they also having issues getting it trademarked? So anyone could just rip it off to sell merch with 0 repercussions

If I remember correctly, when it was rumored that would be the name, some guy applied for a trademark on it.

Back in 95, some dickhead did the same thing to the Panthers.com web domain thinking the team would pay him for it. They didn't.

How about Warriors?  It fits DC and is a nod to the old nickname.  They could even use the old 70's spear logo.

I like Warriors but they would have to do a slight modification to the logo. They may want to stay away from anything native and instead of the spear, maybe a medieval sword or something like that have a knight as a mascot. On the other hand, the Chiefs use an arrowhead on their logo. I guess they would have to have discussions about the spear.

I had to look it up, but the problem in trademarking Washington Commanders was that the Patent and Trademark Office ruled it could be confused with the annual Commanders Classic game between Air Force and Army.

If they are going to go the route of a movie gang, I would suggest the Washington Black Widows.

    • We've literally seen him hop around the pocket to survey the field in multiple occurrences. Defenses have this on tape. Cam and QB's like him built the way he was height and strength wise could get by on those natural gifts in their prime. Bryce Young is unequivocally going to have to go above and beyond with his footwork in order to carve out not just a long career but an elite career worthy of a top overall draft selection. We should be able to wholeheartedly agree with one another on that. Intermediate sideline throws without placing the ball out of bounds where the receiver has to contort themselves or make an absurd acrobatic catch for it to be a completion. And yes developing a better chemistry in the deep passing game with his receivers to avoid miscues. Both areas will need to see improvement if the young offense is to develop the way we hope in 2025. And we don't necessarily need to be winning mind you. But development of the supporting cast requires this from Bryce. We have invested a ton of capital in the offensive line. We've invested heavily in WR. We've invested in our backfield. We've invested in TE. We've got a young up and coming offensive minded head coach. The expectation should be for our redzone efficiency to improve significantly. That is not just on Bryce Young. But at the end of the day it will always begin and end with him more often than not. It's always been that way and that's just the nature of the position in this league. And not for nothing but before we drafted Bryce Young nobody was going around here saying we need elite play across the board and top shelf coaching for him to be effective. His biggest selling point was his ability to succeed off script and make something out of nothing. We're certainly going to have to see that come to fruition. Now we wait.
    • I said years ago that RBA was another Rivera. 
    • Honestly, for me, I actually don't care all that much about being the 1st overall pick and him living up to that selection. It's the trade we made to go get him that he has to live up to for me.   You can't be even just an average starting QB after a trade like that, because if that's all we're getting out of it, we could have kept going with journeyman type of QB's or taken a shot on a Jalen Milroe type in the 2nd to get similar play but then have kept Moore and all those other draft picks to build around them.
