    I actually like it. The Guardians should have hired the same agency that came up with it.

    Commanders is foolish because its clearly defined as one in command and not just a simple label. The lions, cardinals, jets etc are common nouns with no specific quality beyond a simple genotype. So you're 4-13 and you're a "commander"--stfu.

    Commandos would be decent.

    All of the puns and headlines that take advantage of "Washington Commies" will be amusing.

    Personally, I liked to refer to them as WTF more :D

    I have to say Commanders is a shit name btw a bit like most of the other names in that list.

    As somebody said earlier Washington Presidents would have been far better imo

    Are there any names you curmudgeons wouldn’t have said “what a terrible name” in response to?

    I like that they went with a federal sort of theme.

    If you want to get technical about it. I just don't know why they couldn't leave a good thing alone. If anyone thinks that the Jets uniforms are an improvement, they're nuts.

    Hey, now you're on to something

    Washington Curmudgeons is a great name stick an image of the old buggers from the Muppet show as their badge and it is a winner :D

    When I'm talking to my friends or pretty much anybody about football, I call them the Redskins. I'll never refer to them as the Commanders. If I need to be PC I'll call them Washington.

    Right! I couldn't remember his name, but I think I remember Luciana Paluzzi, a very hot Italian actress, was in it as well, no?

    Think they’d have been better off staying as WFT until they could work out trademark on Wolves.
    Commanders is really bad choice imo.

    They'd have done better with Cheeto Eating Clowns.

    No imagination these days. How they hell are they going to market the Washington Commanders?

    Two years and THIS is what they come up with?
    Jeeeez. Just God Awful. Probably the same creative genius who designed our helmets.

    I strongly considered the Washington January Sixers … but I settled on the Washington Denzels.
    And that’s what I’ll be calling them.
