It’s fine that the NHL lets the Avalanche, Wild, and Kraken through.

But the NFL likes the idea of tradition. It doesn’t want some modern conceptual mascot muddying up the works

Braves and Chiefs are next on the agenda.

Give it 5-10 years.

I still like the idea of keeping "Kansas City Chiefs" but change the Native American theme to a First Responders type theme.

Something kinda like this..

I see nothing wrong with Washington Hogs. A lot of their fans called the Redskins the hogs so it’s a nod to their tradition.

Chiefs should just move to Celtic or European design.

The word is french origin after all.

There should be a ban on FedEx. The feds are a synomonus name for corruption. I can't believe this is tolerated. I am offended.

Hope I did that right.

Why? Just leave it as is and turn the page.

I agree! I'm just responding to Carr4MVP...IF in 5-10 years we are forced to change the name.

Like that wouldn't trigger twitter tards just as bad.

They'll always be The Washington Football Team.

I hope the name is never changed.

But the last two years have taught me that anything is possible now. The gloves are off. We are in a country now where Washington statues were defaced.

Yeah, but what's scarier - avalanche or avalanches?

At some point I think we won't have statues of people. They'll just be statues of concepts, which is kind of where team names are heading as well.

Agree to disagree on Redtails, burgundy/maroon isn't really red IMO... I prefer the DC themed names like admirals, senators, commanders etc etc

Washington RedTubes

LMAO

This move by Makar in O/T on the game-winning goal last night destroyed all the Blackhawks souls in its path.

If they wanted red in it, it should have been Red Tape

If they do change their name to Admirals, they need to get basketball HOF David Robinson, whose nickname was “The Admiral”, connected to the organization. He went to high school in Manassas Virginia, which is in Northern Virginia, not too far from FedEx stadium, about 50 miles.

Well alrighty then, may I humbly suggest

The Washington Redcoats.

Yes. No.

But should have been

Well, a player on the Chicago Bears does not hibernate for the winter and a player on the Philadelphia Eagles does not fish with his feet.

The Washington Redjerseys is actually really close to Washington Redskins and completely eliminates the controversial elements.

Washington Foreskins

They could change the logo from an arrowhead to an anchor and still call them Chiefs. But to pull it off, all the players would need to carry around a coffee cup, be grumpy all day, tell war stories, then disappear to the goat locker when the work starts... LAMO

washington giving kitchens is a terrible choice.

Looks like the Washington Deuces to me.

because of the airbase

The Wichita Wind Surge

Yes... that is the actual name of the AA team Wichita got that was actually supposed to be a AAA team before MLB gutted the minor league system.

Well the bad cup of coffee in a cup mug that hasn't been washed (ever) would have to be replaced with the paper cup with a non-fat skinny latte...

It seems like Commanders may be the name. Dumb and generic if true

Commanders is better than WFT but still a name I don't really like.

Some alternatives..... Washington FatCats, Washington Traitors, Washington Lobbyists, Washington Parasites and Washington Warmongers.

Washington Hogs wouldn't have been a bad name if they wanted to reflect back to their heyday and have a little fun at their expense like the above mentioned names.

Snyder is more of an issue than the new name

The Washington Diapers - "Politicians and babies should be changed often, and for the same reason." - Mark Twain.

In my not-quite-yet-fully-caffeinated state I initially misread the name as "Commodores."

That would have better.

Terrible name

So it is looking like

Commaders.

Commanders and Chiefs?

I hope someday we become the Kansas City WBF’s!

Weren't there some slave ships with Commanders on them? Or were they all captained by full-bird skippers?

Should’ve been the Washington Fat Cats. The logo could be an overweight cat with dollar signs for eyes and a hat that says "Social Security" pouring a bucket that says "Alternative Minimum Tax" over a sad Statue of Liberty holding a "Democracy" umbrella.

It’s almost too obvious IMO.

Is there any strong names that wouldn't be bad by today's rules?

Oooooo tough

Commanders is a stupid name, Redskins should have never been changed

Agreed. Their real name should be "Sell Outs" !!

Meh. Although I wouldn't even care if their name was camel farts.

Commanders?

I'm sorry. I can't support that. Compersonders is not male-centric.

Comper Sonders sounds like a character from a dystopian teen novel.

**** you.

They should have gone with Washington Football Club and stuck with it. Sounds much more classy. Commanders sounds like a made up name from the movie Any Given Sunday.

Football club makes it sound like soccer. [emoji2961]

Camel farts is a sneaky good name

So I live in the DC area. It’s funny that a whole generation of younger fans want nothing to do with the Washington franchise. Dan Snyder is a terrible person and it shows through the way he manages and the record of the team. Nobody cares about the WFT any more. I’ve trained my kids well. They’ve grown up in the DC suburbs but are die-hard Chiefs fans.

Commodores is meh. Whatever. Who cares.

The NBA team changed its name a few decades ago from the Bullets to the Wizards. Fine to change that name but they abandoned a cool color scheme to a stupid name and a fruity logo with some little wizard. It was so bad. While they still go by the stupid “Wizards” name, one thing they did right was they went back to the old Bullets color scheme and came up with a cool new logo (10 years ago maybe) for the team that has nothing to do with a ****ing Wizard.

I guess WFT is learning from that debacle. Change the name if you must, but don’t **** with the coloring and keep logos simple.

I’m glad they took Commanders, it leaves Red Wolves as a possibility if the Chiefs ever change theirs.

Surely the NFL will want a Commanders and Chiefs Super Bowl.

#followthemoney

Everyone's going to call them the commies now.

lol Washington Football Team is a better name than Commanders

it sounds like the fake team names in movies where they can't license actual team names. or an arena football name. or a fake arena football name.

The Washington Bazooka Sharks would have been better lol GO ZOOKS

they should lean into it

make the mascot like a cartoon Stalin

at half time they can have a Frida Kahlo mascot in the home jersey come out at half time and stab a Trotsky mascot wearing a away jersey in the back with a cartoonishly oversized ice pick

Clowns.

To be honest, I think we will all get used to it, it just takes time.

Remember when they didn’t have an actual name and it was a big Meme, and now 2 years later we all kinda just adopted it and now it sounds ok? The same will happen with the commanders.

It’s just like if they picked the Jets, Oh wow, it’s the JETS! Like what airplanes? No we are so used to it because it’s been around for decades. Or the Ravens? A bird? Would it be weird if they called themselves the Baltimore Pigeons? Baltimore ducks? We know Seahawks and eagles are taken, point being is it’s just something new that we will all laugh at first but adopt in the near future.

That’s just my opinion but I’ll also add a local news station was saying pretty much the same as above, WFT sounded better, but in retrospect that may just be because we’ve grown accustomed to the name

Good point.

Packers is a name that would be mocked if announced today. Eagles is generic as hell. Same deal with Panthers. Titans does sound like a XFL name.

Admirals is better. Why lower the rank to Commander?

At least it's not Washington Staff Sergeants.

that's probably true

it's kind of the same thing with band names. your favorite band probably has a stupid name but you like them anyway and never think about it. like Tool is a really popular band but the name is just so dumb lol like they were watching Home Improvement and were like "let's name our band Tool *Tim Allen Grunt*"

Washington Joint Chiefs of Staff just rolls off the tongue.

Kommandant would have been better. Col. Klink as the new mascot.

Winner.

Are they going to get perpetually beat by the Harlem Globetrotters as well?

Should this be moved to the DC section? I mean, by definition..... :)
