WC - abbreviation for water closet: a toilet, or a room containing a toilet:

If it isn't used in US I'll cut them some slack. ;)

They just ended a livestream at the stadium and had three mannequins modeling the unis. I wish we had a full look at the helmets!

3 stars is the DC flag fyi.

I like the home uni's. I like the alternate logo with the stars and commemorating the titles. But the away uni's are very reminiscent of the Falcons/Cardinals and the black alternates are so generic - much in the way Commanders is a generic name. It doesn't evoke any strong imagery or bring to mind any specific leader in world history. Guess generic sports team names are the way of the future.

Agree. The biggest mistake they made was doing this on the Today Show. The entire intro to the reveal was about the racist name, scandals, and congressional investigation. IMO, that sucked the life out of it right from the start. I've seen baby gender reveals with more pizzazz and excitement than this. An underwhelming reveal from an underwhelming organization.

With a person in charge like Dan Snyder, why would you expect anything more. He never wanted to do this in the first place, he was forced to, so it was half assed...just like everything he's done here. Two years to plan it and execute it...and a big fail. Even if he put all this in Jason Wright's hands and this is what Jason came up with, it's still on Dan...because he made the decision to do so. This is why we are where we are with this team.

There was nothing about this to get anyone excited. IMO, if they had had an over the top announcement with lots of excitement and flash it would have got people excited just from the excitement. But when the team officials making the announcement didn't seem enthusiastic why should the fans be?

Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders
 

I think the uniforms will grow on me. I like the matte burgundy helmets. Hope they do something with the socks though. The patches on the black jerseys look cool.

Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders
 

The W on the front of the helmet and the patch look terrible…as expected

The mannequin expression sums up my feeling…dead and lifeless.

Terrible job Jason Wright

I'm disappointed in that (for me) it's meh as a name, it was leaked, it took 2 years to come up with this, and the whole thing feels so 2nd rate. I'm not mad, probably because I expected it (no I wasn't surprised), and the 'event' screams Snyder's influence. Just have to hope the offseason delivers some surprises and takes the focus off the name etc. I'm not overly hopeful...

Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders
 

Funny, lots were trashing the organization for making a spectacle out of the whole name announcement, and now the announcement was underwhelming - just not enough...

Honestly, I'm fine with it all, the new name, the announcement, the unis - mostly because it's over. I like Redskins better, but it had to go. A name like that has no place in today's PC world. No name was going to be good enough, let's be honest. All the name proposals were bad in my opinion, but I am on board for a fresh start after the last 30 years of suck.

Bye Felicia to all those that feel [U]now[/U] is the time to find a new team. Chances are you weren't that much of a fan anyway. This will take some time to get used to, but as has been said ad nauseam, winning cures all.

Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders
 

Guess we could have had Forrest Gump make a commercial to announce the new name...maybe that would have been better.

Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders
 

I wish they had kept the old jerseys. No reason they had to change, except for the logo on the helmet, which could just have been the W.

The name is ok. I was a red wolves or red tails fan myself but commanders is alright. Actually like the uniforms, especially the black on black.

Now we can focus on the offseason and getting a QB and some ILBs
