I imagine it will linger forever, but Harris was asked a direct question and gave a direct answer. The name is here to stay.
I would suggest using this thread to commiserate, commemorate and bury the hatchet of the Redskins name with best memories.

Think of Commanders as the given name, Skins the nickname. Sort of like a Winthrop being called Buddy.

While I fully understand the desire of the Old Guard in wanting it restored. I ask you to look at it through his eyes, he has started something here and he wants to move forward and not dwell on the past that was tarnish by those who should not be named.

Snyder pulled one big last fuck you to all the fans with this name on his way out the door. Walks away with 6 billion or so and his little-man syndrome name stuck w/ us forever.
With Redskins off the table there is simply no magic cure all out there for the name. Ask 10 people and you'll get 10 different answers. They could spend millions on another new name and maybe get a modest bump in public support. Is the juice worth the squeeze?
I think ownership is looking at it like if winning and a superstar like Jayden can't bring the most stubborn of fans back, fuck em, they're not worth the time anyway.
Will always miss the name. Just hope they keep honoring tradition in old name and logo in different ways. Really wish the uniforms/true colors would make a comeback, though.

Miss the name. Don't like Commanders name. it is lame. Should be changed to something else - obviously Redskins is out - Redwolves, Warriors, Braves (original name) Redhawks, Hogs just to name a few options - They will always be the Redskins to me

It's lame as fuck. Thank goodness Cleveland Indians changed their name to the Guardians, so we will never have the worst name. No one cares about the 2nd worst.
There are many worst parts, but the most worst, is there is no way to shorten it to something that isn't embarrassing. Coms, Commies, Ders, there is simply no way to shorten the name to use in a conversation. And Washington is already a long name. Washington Commanders takes what feels like 30 minutes to use in a live conversation. It's a horrendous name.

I know what Harris said , But I don't understand why the franchise should be stuck with a name given to it by a owner that was hated by all of the fans. It just doesn't make sense to me. Guess I will deal with it but it just doesn't make sense. But if they do it better job of branding it, and possibly allowing the nickname of the Skins in some materials then maybe they can make it work.

He didn't. What he has actually done is to make an entire generation associate the name "Redskins" with his failed tenure as an owner.
Everyone outside of the team's fan base associates the name Commanders with Josh Harris' turn around and the success they've had this year. And the new fans the team has gained this year, and hopefully in years to come, will only associate the name Commanders with Josh Harris.
