Allen wore the old helmet in pro bowl game.

Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders
 

Not like anyone needed a helmet. That was terrible, gets worse every year. I'm not sure what the point is.

Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders
 

Does anyone have actual pictures of the black helmet, other than the one JA was wearing in the announcement photos and that were on the mannequin? JA wears a big ass oldskool helmet and facemask.

I'd like to see what it looks like on a Riddell Speedflex helmet. One mock-up I saw had the numbers pretty big on the side and looked like the military numbers on the jerseys.

Thx! Those look pretty slick. I hated the W on the front, and still do on JA helmet., His big ass head ruined it. :D

Yes he wears a Schutt Air XP which is very rounded on top of his big ol' head it makes it look like the W is way too small and way too high on the shell. lol

Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders
 

I know I'm late to the party but I think the team should've been renamed:
WASHINGTON RIGGINS

-It would be 2 syllables, starting with an R. "Hail to the Riggins" would still work.

-It would tie the team to its history

-It would be unique (nobody else uses it)

-Not offensive (unless Riggins has done something I don't know about?)

-Fans would get a real kick out of it.

Riggo is member of the NRA. He also tipped a few too many in front of Justice O'Connor. Not to mention he has been an outspoken critic of Dan Snyder in the past.

But I do like the idea.

Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders
 

Anything would be better than Commanders. Been a lurker on the board (and longtime member / older poster)... but I've moved on to purpler pastures.

I think it was just the combination of the everything Sndyer has done for this team, as well as this name providing an opportunity for a clean break for me. Still love this fan base, but if I'm being honest, I'm done given Snyder my time and money.

Better fan experience in Baltimore, and I'm already and Orioles and Caps fan... so this just makes more sense now. I'll still lurk around on here, and probably passively route for the team... but I'm a Ravens fan until at least Snyder is gone.

Not sure if this will actually achieve anything, but he's not wrong:[URL="https://www.hogshaven.com/2022/2/8/22923350/an-open-letter-to-daniel-and-tanya-snyder"]https://www.hogshaven.com/2022/2/8/22923350/an-open-letter-to-daniel-and-tanya-snyder[/URL]

Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders
 

I could see not going to games, buying merch etc and hating Snyder. I could even see not rooting for the team anymore as long as he is there. But switching teams? I cant even imagine that.

Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders
 

Yep, I can't switch teams.
I can switch sports!

I'm looking forward to the new baseball season!... fucking shit man...

Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders
 

got a new car and went to transfer the tags, Maryland refused to transfer my Redskins tags. Sad day.
