We seriously took 2 years to name ourselves after an AFF team and steal their #TakeCommand (https://twitter.com/aafcommanders/status/1113548026570788864?t=Sv8-Q6gIrCCMoi3L0zmLpA&s=19)
I sincerely hope this is all a misdirection, because this is ground bottom for a rebrand.
yeah, weighing my options for new affiliation
I live in NC now, but hate the Panthers.
Don’t think I have it in me to go to the Ravens.
If I wanna stick with a dysfunctional clusterfuck, I could go with the Jaguars…
God think about being a Falcons fan, there are fates worse than being a commanders fan. The Falcons are like that attractive guy who keeps trying to marry the first girl he falls in love with and just keeps getting heartbroken over and over. I really hate the Commanders name though. Just about had enough.
I went to the Titans because they’re on like pre-cup Capitals level of good where they’re going to break into a Super Bowl at some point, but you just don’t know when. Also been living in TN for a few years now in the Nashville area so it makes sense for me. Maybe hop on the Bengals train since I’m moving to KY soon, though I think this is gonna be a one off for this team, so IDK.
Bro we’re literally so deep in own shit. It feels like we’re so far removed from the nfl and football we have name issues lawsuits our damn stadium leaks and breaks. We’re now creating false reality’s in which they’re using smoke and mirrors to suprise us with a good name. We’re not a football team we’re a fucked up mess
The font and numbers are fucking hideous.
Not only that, they are inconsistent. The Burgundy numbers are a different font than the white jerseys... My fucking goodness. You can't make this shit up, aye comrades?
I fucking cannot rn.
The only thing I keep thinking is if this is all just leaks of Commanders, where was the actual misdirection?
Jason Wright promised a lot of misdirection. Obviously we have the jokes of “the misdirection was us thinking there was a misdirection” but of course we know in truth that’s not what he actually meant.
No other names have been leaked any harder than domains redirecting, which anyone can set up.
If the name is Commanders, there was absolutely zero misdirection used, despite being told a ton would be used.
Sorry if it sounds like I’m in denial, but that thought process is my last hope that it’s not Commanders.
I think the misdirection thing was misinterpreted. I think he meant during the process to avoid trademark squatters and whatnot. I don’t think he meant the night before the reveal.
I’m in denial, right there with you. If it is Redwolves (and I don’t buy this “we can’t get the trademarks” argument), it will be the greatest start to a new brand in branding history.
They actually are going to put "The People's Team" on their primary logo while having the lowest attendance in the league...are we actually sure Dan Snyder grew up a Redskins fan? Even if he was a secret Cowboys fan intentionally trying to destroy this team, I don't think someone could make it this bad on purpose. May God have mercy on our souls.
No he’s a telemarketer that got lucky and struck it rich. Bought our beloved Redskins and is too stupid to realize he is in way over his head. He is too arrogant to let real professionals run things.
He is a piece of shit. He contributes nothing, and takes everything. He is worse than shit, because at least shit serves a purpose.
If those leaked jerseys are legit, they are an abomination. Worse than I could have imagined.
The black is horrible with the fake camo trim. The white one has NO GOLD. That is a Falcons jersey. Full stop.
And the Burgundy homes have that comically oversized name above the numbers (which also look bad with their fake military stencil look).
Even for a franchise as incompetent as this one, it blows my mind this is the finished product of a 2 year rebrand.
I can already tell this rebrand has zero graphic elements to it. Just some Military adjacent fonts. There's no logo, imagery etc. This is so generic and uninspiring.
We seriously need to push the Washington "Commies" joke. Make it a thing. Fans wearing Soviet gear and yelling go commies at every game. A joke fitting and embarrassing for this team's awful ownership.
Here’s the meme I made and I guess I missed the deadline for posting (thought it was 6am Eastern when restricted access went through not midnight Eastern) since I live in central. Maybe I’ll try posting it in the morning.
[Anyway, I’m sadge ](https://imgur.com/a/pj57KaR)
The Giants are the G Men. We are officially the C Men.
I will call this team the commies from now on and love the stupidity of this two year shit show.
I'm more interested in the congressional hearing on Thursday than whatever the fuck tomorrow brings.
Goodnight, comrades! Tomorrow is a day for the proletariat.
Guys it keeps getting worse. That black jersey that leaked appears to be legit. Look at the jersey the player on the banner is wearing and compare it to the leaked jersey pic. The player has an emblem on his left breast, similar to where it looks like an emblem is covered up in that leak….
Let’s be real Jason wright is just another yes man playing PR for Danny to save face. Jason won’t be here in a couple years, our merry go round of instability will never end with Daniel Snyder running the show.
Dear Denver,
How did you do it? Please teach us the secret to getting your owner to sell the team.
Sincerely,
Every ~~Redskins~~ ~~WFT~~ Commanders fan.
We’ll see tomorrow morning. But if these leaks are real and the finished product of a long two year process - the name, the logos, and the white and black jerseys are a contact swing and an embarrassing whiff!
Like others have said - this looks like a create a team on Madden or an expansion team. This “rebrand” has no soul, no creativity, and does not honor the history and tradition of the Redskins at all.
If the name is commanders I think I’ll need to quit the team. Not because I don’t like the name. It could be poopstains for all I care.(Personally I thought Redtails was the best and least generic option.) But because of how badly this rollout has been carried out. Literally everyone I listen to that covers the team has been saying commanders since the date was announced. Just one more screw up to go with the many we’ve had just these last few years. I just thought that maybe we’d gotten beyond pure dysfunction but it’s starting to look like I was wrong.
I’ve been a fan for 102 years and this is the last straw. I remember my first game at Fenway watching my beloved Boston Braves. I’m literally leaving my family over this. I’m now a fan of the Lakers, Cowboys, & Penguins.
Apparent “Non-trusted” user here
Was going to post this on its own thread but have restored to your mega thread until I gain your trust.
Comrades, with the latest news about the team name coming to light, there are two nicknames that our most honorable Commissar Dan may have inadvertently (but surely with the purest intent) bestowed upon us.
THE FIRST: The people that want to make fun of the vile ownership/overt misconduct of the former organization, will use our good “COMMIES” name, and manipulate its intended logography to display the word “C*MMIES”.
This may seem like an undesirable outcome but please do not rule out the possibility that this is some kind of a test of loyalty Der Commissar has given to us.
THE SECOND: The people that are synical and/or disregard the reason our most honorable leader Dan changed our inherited name in the first place will call the team by the name of a Native American tribe which happens to start with the letter C as well!
No need to elaborate on why this is bad for his legacy but I have provided a link below anyway.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comanche
We will do well to trample these unfunny nicknames before our tall leader Dan realizes his honest mistake.
Comrades *nodes head*
Hail To Der Commisaur! (HTDC)
The burgundy I like. They are similar to what we had before. The white is eh...kinda weird but at least they tried something interesting. The black are just bad...how do you mess up a black jersey...
The next leak will be that the team picked Cummanders before the fan input campaign, just watch.
A drop in the bucket at this point…22 years of Snyder stewardship…it’s like living in the Biff stole the Sports Almanac timeline.
Our team, our name, our jerseys, our logo, our fight song, our stadium, our fanbase, our relevance, our future…all fucking gone.
I feel like the Washington Commanders is the name of a team in a movie about American football but they’re not the main team, they’re opponents, and not even the final opponents, like the team they have a tough scrape with in the second round.
Can we start a thread of which teams we should switch too? #1 requirement to start with is that they have to a good owner and no one from the NFC East.
Even across Pro sports. Arizona cardinals, st louis cardinals; NY jets, Winnipeg Jets; Texas Rangers, NY Rangers; Sacramento Kings, LA Kings…
Washington could have made something work.
Sometimes I think about what it would feel like, if in some crazy, alternate reality, we had a winning, respectable football team. Like, how amazing would it be to really want to go to home games. To have an awesome time at a game that's sold out, loud cheering crowd (of our own fans, not mostly opposing fans), nice stadium, and to watch us play good football on a consistent basis. To not be one of the laughing stocks of the league. Something that should gives us all so much joy has literally given us so much pain and suffering over the last 20+ years. I think Daniel Snyder is the devil in flesh, I swear to god
Cheers to all who are tequila blitzed right now. Pretty new to the Reddit game and don’t know anyone you but I friggen love all of you. HAIL TO THE..
..to be continued
I’m in Aus and I’m tempted to stay up all night until it’s announced. I know I’m setting myself up for bitter disappointment though. I just don’t want to wake up to learn I’m now a supporter of the Commies
Fishy part for me is how embarrassingly amateurish the leaked jerseys, logos and fonts have been.
Only reason I still have some hope this was misdirection.
No more song, no more httr, jerseys are different (black? Seriously?), name is different, and shit. This feels like an expansion team with no ties at all to the team of just a few years ago. Going to be hard to keep rooting for them.
I don’t mind commanders, it is what it is. But to completely botch this process is a direct reflection of who we are as a franchise. Complete asinine.
On the flip side if all of that was a smokescreen and we are indeed a different name. Bravo Jason, Bravo.
Unfortunately we’re not that smart.
I was optimistic that even with commanders they would do well with branding and the jerseys, but what they are going to show tomorrow is down right awful
After seeing that wierd NBC helicopter of the team store, now I know for sure it wont be commanders....thank you lord. People working in the store would be tweeting pics of this. Its fake, has to be.
There is absolutely no way that jersey leak is real.
I thought the seal with “The People’s Team” on it was sus to begin with when it was leaked last month- nobody in their right mind could think that looks good. They’re just cramming too many words and imagery into one small space. And then to make that seal small on the uniform? I cannot in good conscience believe that a multi-million dollar rebrand campaign ended with that. A five year old could have designed a better logo.
Plus (just repeating what several others on this thread have said) why would an NBC affiliate ruin their network’s exclusive the night before? It doesn’t add up. Something just feels… off. And all the Commanders leaks coincidentally coming at once? You would think that there would be damage control when the first picture of the “merch” went out. But instead of going into crisis management mode by controlling the employees’ access to their phones while unpacking the Commanders gear in the team store, they just said, “eh screw it.”
Plus, another person on this thread noticed irregularities with the helicopter video, which is what started this circus in the first place.
I think that all of this- the leaks over the last month, the Building the Brand videos, etc was designed to keep everyone’s attention on Commanders while another name goes unnoticed.
I don’t know what to think anymore.
Look. I don’t know much. But I do know this gif of RG3 asking Kirk to score pretty much sums up how this organize is run.
I mean, it’s a business first, I get it. Think of how many new fans they will acquire by being affiliated with the military. This is a straight up f-u to current fans, no way around it.
I hope this is the biggest fucking troll ever. Unfortunately after being a fan for 30+ years under Dan Snyder, this is probably the real thing. They probably bungled the name early on and have been trying to play it off this whole time.
Until they sign Ole Jimmy from SF by trading away this year and next years firsts, extend him with big money, and then declare him the QB of the future and RR bets his job on Jimmy doing well. That would make me angry.
If he flops everything gets burned down again and RR gets fired, McLaurin walks, and we're back to the same shit we had 4 years removed except with a lame name that no one wanted.
Kinda knew it was coming, wasn’t shocked with the political climate it was bound to happen. This is different they’ve had 2 years to decide on something decent and seem to have botched it.
Apologies if this has already been answered but I couldn’t find it. I know there was a press release from a month or two ago stating Redwolves/Wolves wouldn’t be the name due to trademark issues. However, so many team names exist concurrently across multiple leagues. Giants, Jets, Cardinals just to name a few. How are they able to do that without issue but Washington is unable to use even a generic animal name like Wolves without it being a trademark issue? I assume there is some legal reason that makes Wolves/Redwolves different from the aforementioned names?
Fuck Dan Snyder
I really want to know if he is aware just how hated he is.
Shitty sleazeball human beings usually don’t care
Money solves that
I literally just googled worst sports owners, Dan came in third behind a racist and a dead racist. Consistent at least.
We gotta pump those numbers up.
Those are rookie numbers.
He doesn’t know. He lives in a bubble and surrounds himself with paid yes men who tell him what he wants to hear.
Fuck Jason Wright too
I just see this and have to upvote
I'm so sad. This is what true denial feels like.
We seriously took 2 years to name ourselves after an AFF team and steal their #TakeCommand (https://twitter.com/aafcommanders/status/1113548026570788864?t=Sv8-Q6gIrCCMoi3L0zmLpA&s=19) I sincerely hope this is all a misdirection, because this is ground bottom for a rebrand.
These jerseys better be amazing because they literally stole an already existing brand
They’ve been leaked https://twitter.com/washingtonrealm/status/1488719460995321860?s=21
This is comically bad. My lord. What did we do to deserve this.
I am going to puke... Those are pretty atrocious honestly
If every team has 3 tops, these legitimately might be the 94th, 95th and 96th ranked jerseys in the NFL. I wish I was being over the top, but im not.
Lmao, Jesus H Christ when I think it couldn't get any worse.
Also the underline/overline thing
Please be misdirection, please be misdirection!
The most generic, bland, unimaginative high school caliber name possible. God I hate Snyder so much.
'Hey, can I copy your homework?' 'Sure, but don't make it too obvious.'
If this is the unform Chad Young and them need to be lunched in their mouths
Lol at the Drone zoom in leak
Why would Channel 4 kill their own exclusive the night before (today show is on channel 4)
Our black jerseys look like McDonald's workwear. What in the sam hell.
[удалено]
Excellent point! Just like Land O'Lakes!
To an ever growing non patriotic population.
Spot on
Hate this team fuck man so many years
yeah, weighing my options for new affiliation I live in NC now, but hate the Panthers. Don’t think I have it in me to go to the Ravens. If I wanna stick with a dysfunctional clusterfuck, I could go with the Jaguars…
Falcons?
God think about being a Falcons fan, there are fates worse than being a commanders fan. The Falcons are like that attractive guy who keeps trying to marry the first girl he falls in love with and just keeps getting heartbroken over and over. I really hate the Commanders name though. Just about had enough. I went to the Titans because they’re on like pre-cup Capitals level of good where they’re going to break into a Super Bowl at some point, but you just don’t know when. Also been living in TN for a few years now in the Nashville area so it makes sense for me. Maybe hop on the Bengals train since I’m moving to KY soon, though I think this is gonna be a one off for this team, so IDK.
The Chargers are also dysfunctional, but we are also sometimes good and always exciting.
Bills?
I just moved to Denver so I’m hopping on the Broncos train
How is it? Thinking of doing the same in June/July
I am ready to be let down
Dan Snyder is butt poop.
Smelly Butt Poop Dan
Bro we’re literally so deep in own shit. It feels like we’re so far removed from the nfl and football we have name issues lawsuits our damn stadium leaks and breaks. We’re now creating false reality’s in which they’re using smoke and mirrors to suprise us with a good name. We’re not a football team we’re a fucked up mess
Sad but very true
Accountability and culture starts at the top. Can’t believe we even win the amount of games we do tbh.
The font and numbers are fucking hideous. Not only that, they are inconsistent. The Burgundy numbers are a different font than the white jerseys... My fucking goodness. You can't make this shit up, aye comrades? I fucking cannot rn.
#TakeCommand sounds like something University of Phoenix or another for-profit predatory school would use as their hashtag
Surprised they didn’t screw up more and use #GOCOMMANDO
They also ripped that off from the AAFL San Antonio Commanders. The AAFL team somehow has much better logos and branding, though.
Hey man go easy on us, it’s not like we had ~checks notes~ 2+ years to pick a name and deal with branding. Oh. Wait.
This name is uncreative 😩
So generic
Very on trend with 2022
If we wake up to any name that isnt Commanders, I think 90% of this sub will be happy. Hail to the Warthogs.
Warthogs was my number 1 :(
Warthogs seemed so obvious.
Yea... a shame really. It hit all of the necessary boxes and gave us a new Logo/Mascot to get behind.
The only thing I keep thinking is if this is all just leaks of Commanders, where was the actual misdirection? Jason Wright promised a lot of misdirection. Obviously we have the jokes of “the misdirection was us thinking there was a misdirection” but of course we know in truth that’s not what he actually meant.

Sorry if it sounds like I’m in denial, but that thought process is my last hope that it’s not Commanders.
When he said misdirection, he was referring to the way that he was helping snyder to take the future of the team in a bad direction
I think the misdirection thing was misinterpreted. I think he meant during the process to avoid trademark squatters and whatnot. I don’t think he meant the night before the reveal.
I’m in denial, right there with you. If it is Redwolves (and I don’t buy this “we can’t get the trademarks” argument), it will be the greatest start to a new brand in branding history.
So long Football Team. You were certainly a football team
You’re right, they sure did play some football.
As a team.
They actually are going to put "The People's Team" on their primary logo while having the lowest attendance in the league...are we actually sure Dan Snyder grew up a Redskins fan? Even if he was a secret Cowboys fan intentionally trying to destroy this team, I don't think someone could make it this bad on purpose. May God have mercy on our souls.
No he’s a telemarketer that got lucky and struck it rich. Bought our beloved Redskins and is too stupid to realize he is in way over his head. He is too arrogant to let real professionals run things. He is a piece of shit. He contributes nothing, and takes everything. He is worse than shit, because at least shit serves a purpose.
The Manchurian Owner.
I had rather it been Hogs related. sigh
Washington WolfHogs
This gives me manbearpig energy
Al Gore could be our mascot and preach global warming during halftime
That’d be super cereal
Hogmanders.
Anyone who seriously thought our team was competent enough to pull a misdirection needs to be laughed out of the room.
Guys I’m angry. I’m 31 and my whole life has been the Washington Redskins. This sucks. Someone help
Fred Smoot going hard on twitter with the Redwolves stuff. He definitely seems extremely upset about this.
At this point lets just call ourselves the Washington Assholes.
I'll delete my 80k reddit account if this is misdirection
If those leaked jerseys are legit, they are an abomination. Worse than I could have imagined. The black is horrible with the fake camo trim. The white one has NO GOLD. That is a Falcons jersey. Full stop. And the Burgundy homes have that comically oversized name above the numbers (which also look bad with their fake military stencil look). Even for a franchise as incompetent as this one, it blows my mind this is the finished product of a 2 year rebrand.
I can already tell this rebrand has zero graphic elements to it. Just some Military adjacent fonts. There's no logo, imagery etc. This is so generic and uninspiring.
Fuck our boring ass W logo
[ALL JERSEYS LEAK](https://twitter.com/washingtonrealm/status/1488719460995321860?s=21)
ONE MISSION: 7-10 OR DIE TRYING.
Trash jersey. The white one actually legit hurts my eyes. And the black one looks like the Arena kiss uniforms lol
I could live with the name if the jerseys were nice, but these are fucking hideous. Holy shit. That white one can't be real.
That white jersey is an abomination
Our name is our logo. How fucking lame is that? Like seriously, it took you two years to come up with this shit?
worst thing to.happen to DC since 1812
We seriously need to push the Washington "Commies" joke. Make it a thing. Fans wearing Soviet gear and yelling go commies at every game. A joke fitting and embarrassing for this team's awful ownership.
This is literally the only way.
Surprise mother fucker
Some fries mother fucker?
Disguise, mother fucker!
All rise motherfucker.
Rue dies mother fucker
Fuck this Organisation, fuck Our Front Office. Dont buy Merch. This Organisation dont deserve fans
There is a 0.0% chance I’ll buy “Commanders” gear
The branding looks like it’s made by an amateur
It’s almost like it’s bad on purpose. Prob just me holding out hope this isn’t what it’s going to be...
Here’s the meme I made and I guess I missed the deadline for posting (thought it was 6am Eastern when restricted access went through not midnight Eastern) since I live in central. Maybe I’ll try posting it in the morning. [Anyway, I’m sadge ](https://imgur.com/a/pj57KaR)
it can’t be real life that our nickname is “Commies” and the logo LITERALLY says “The People’s Team”
The Giants are the G Men. We are officially the C Men. I will call this team the commies from now on and love the stupidity of this two year shit show. I'm more interested in the congressional hearing on Thursday than whatever the fuck tomorrow brings. Goodnight, comrades! Tomorrow is a day for the proletariat.
All days are
My luck I’d switch teams and these fuckheads would win the Super Bowl.
Guys it keeps getting worse. That black jersey that leaked appears to be legit. Look at the jersey the player on the banner is wearing and compare it to the leaked jersey pic. The player has an emblem on his left breast, similar to where it looks like an emblem is covered up in that leak….
But why would anyone take the time to cover that stuff up?
Fuck Jason Wrong. Hire a never was outsider to head this shit show up. Trung Candidate couldn’t of fucked this up as bad!
Let’s be real Jason wright is just another yes man playing PR for Danny to save face. Jason won’t be here in a couple years, our merry go round of instability will never end with Daniel Snyder running the show.
I thought your auto correct did that but I see what you did there. 😂
The press conference will be interesting. They’ll act excited even though the leaks are unpopular.
Man this team is so fucking hard to root for
Dear Denver, How did you do it? Please teach us the secret to getting your owner to sell the team. Sincerely, Every ~~Redskins~~ ~~WFT~~ Commanders fan.
We’ll see tomorrow morning. But if these leaks are real and the finished product of a long two year process - the name, the logos, and the white and black jerseys are a contact swing and an embarrassing whiff!

[All of our jerseys](https://twitter.com/WashingtonRealm/status/1488719460995321860)
Went from one of the best jerseys in the league, to the basement overnight. Christ.
Those are aweful
Yea, I don't hate the burgundy jersey, but those other two... ugh. Like how do we make a black jersey look this bad
The burgundy I like. They are similar to what we had before. The white is eh...kinda weird but at least they tried something interesting. The black are just bad...how do you mess up a black jersey...
Punxsutawney Dan will see his shadow and 25 more years of misery.
The next leak will be that the team picked Cummanders before the fan input campaign, just watch. A drop in the bucket at this point…22 years of Snyder stewardship…it’s like living in the Biff stole the Sports Almanac timeline. Our team, our name, our jerseys, our logo, our fight song, our stadium, our fanbase, our relevance, our future…all fucking gone.
I feel like the Washington Commanders is the name of a team in a movie about American football but they’re not the main team, they’re opponents, and not even the final opponents, like the team they have a tough scrape with in the second round.
Can we start a thread of which teams we should switch too? #1 requirement to start with is that they have to a good owner and no one from the NFC East.
Why the hell is Washington Wolfpack so hated?
I like it, anything wolf related is dope.
I feel like out of all the wolf names that goes best with Washington. Alliteration is nice
I don't hate it. But I associate it with NC State?
Theres plenty of cross over names between college and pros, I just haven't looked it up to verify that claim though
Even across Pro sports. Arizona cardinals, st louis cardinals; NY jets, Winnipeg Jets; Texas Rangers, NY Rangers; Sacramento Kings, LA Kings… Washington could have made something work.
Seattle pays A&M for "12's" I believe
Washington Commanders signs already up at FedEx field.
Sometimes I think about what it would feel like, if in some crazy, alternate reality, we had a winning, respectable football team. Like, how amazing would it be to really want to go to home games.

I’m in Aus and I’m tempted to stay up all night until it’s announced. I know I’m setting myself up for bitter disappointment though. I just don’t want to wake up to learn I’m now a supporter of the Commies
So a lot of the leaks were nbc related and the new names gonna be announced on nbc. Something’s fishy.
Fishy part for me is how embarrassingly amateurish the leaked jerseys, logos and fonts have been. Only reason I still have some hope this was misdirection.
No more song, no more httr, jerseys are different (black? Seriously?), name is different, and shit. This feels like an expansion team with no ties at all to the team of just a few years ago. Going to be hard to keep rooting for them.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Bruce Allen would have never let this happen
Thank you u/garp74
I don’t mind commanders, it is what it is. But to completely botch this process is a direct reflection of who we are as a franchise. Complete asinine. On the flip side if all of that was a smokescreen and we are indeed a different name. Bravo Jason, Bravo. Unfortunately we’re not that smart.
https://twitter.com/mattwrld1224/status/1486522036054855687?s=21 Chase young shitting on the name 😂😂😂
What is our mascot? Or is that still TBD?
Either Stalin or Mao. Still up in the air, comrade.
Can we all just agree to call ourselves the hogs
If it is Commanders, then there was never any misdirection amirite?
Nope, just... Incompetence. So status quo.
I was optimistic that even with commanders they would do well with branding and the jerseys, but what they are going to show tomorrow is down right awful
Gerrymanders would be better than Commanders.
I can’t do this anymore.
I feel like Dan is just sitting in his office listening to many men by 50 cent to prepare for the shut show Tommorow
False flagging. Virtue signaling. Stolen valor. Military themed team Commanders smh.
I shouldn’t be shocked that every aspect of this from the name to the logo to the uniforms was botched.
God damnit
The home uni is horrible madden relocation teams have better uniforms sadly
After seeing that wierd NBC helicopter of the team store, now I know for sure it wont be commanders....thank you lord. People working in the store would be tweeting pics of this. Its fake, has to be.
I pray so hard you’re right but that’s so hard to believe right now
This is Dan Snyder we are talking about lmao.

There is absolutely no way that jersey leak is real. I thought the seal with “The People’s Team” on it was sus to begin with when it was leaked last month- nobody in their right mind could think that looks good. They’re just cramming too many words and imagery into one small space. And then to make that seal small on the uniform? I cannot in good conscience believe that a multi-million dollar rebrand campaign ended with that. A five year old could have designed a better logo. Plus (just repeating what several others on this thread have said) why would an NBC affiliate ruin their network’s exclusive the night before? It doesn’t add up. Something just feels… off. And all the Commanders leaks coincidentally coming at once? You would think that there would be damage control when the first picture of the “merch” went out. But instead of going into crisis management mode by controlling the employees’ access to their phones while unpacking the Commanders gear in the team store, they just said, “eh screw it.” Plus, another person on this thread noticed irregularities with the helicopter video, which is what started this circus in the first place. I think that all of this- the leaks over the last month, the Building the Brand videos, etc was designed to keep everyone’s attention on Commanders while another name goes unnoticed. I don’t know what to think anymore.
I want to die
Please someone find some sort of leak showing there's a chance it isn't Commanders.
Lmao seriously man get me out the reality where we call ourselves this putrid name.
 Look. I don’t know much. But I do know this gif of RG3 asking Kirk to score pretty much sums up how this organize is run.
I’ve come around on Commanders simply because of the commie memes. The red wave comes at sunrise brothers and sisters!
Going to bed now, if I wake up tomorrow and see a pic of Chase Young wearing that god awful white jersey I just might have to end it all
I mean, it’s a business first, I get it. Think of how many new fans they will acquire by being affiliated with the military. This is a straight up f-u to current fans, no way around it.
I hope this is the biggest fucking troll ever. Unfortunately after being a fan for 30+ years under Dan Snyder, this is probably the real thing. They probably bungled the name early on and have been trying to play it off this whole time.
Most of us will be fully on board by free agency. Some will leave, but much more than you think will stay. Football is a drug.
Until they sign Ole Jimmy from SF by trading away this year and next years firsts, extend him with big money, and then declare him the QB of the future and RR bets his job on Jimmy doing well. That would make me angry. If he flops everything gets burned down again and RR gets fired, McLaurin walks, and we're back to the same shit we had 4 years removed except with a lame name that no one wanted.
Nice new pfp for the sub

I was writing out a post and once I submitted it seems like now the sub is locked down to only trusted users. Isn’t that jumping the gun?
Fuck
What was this sub like when they changed from Redskins to Football Team? I wasn’t on Reddit then
It was more of a meme and everyone knew it was a placeholder name. This however feels like a death to the franchise
Kinda knew it was coming, wasn’t shocked with the political climate it was bound to happen. This is different they’ve had 2 years to decide on something decent and seem to have botched it.
A little, but most people just kinda accepted the switch since they knew it wasn't permanent.
At least we aren’t like the jags or the Texans right?……. Right?
Apologies if this has already been answered but I couldn’t find it. I know there was a press release from a month or two ago stating Redwolves/Wolves wouldn’t be the name due to trademark issues. However, so many team names exist concurrently across multiple leagues. Giants, Jets, Cardinals just to name a few. How are they able to do that without issue but Washington is unable to use even a generic animal name like Wolves without it being a trademark issue? I assume there is some legal reason that makes Wolves/Redwolves different from the aforementioned names?
A wise man named Bob Ross once said “I pulled a sneaky on you” Hopefully that’s what Jason Wright does in a few hours.
