Yeah, not my favorite option and very critical of the renaming process, but that's a quite sensitive take ^^ I'm already getting used to it, in the sense that it doesn't sound as weird as it did several weeks ago, just meh.

Same, it's like anything else, I just get used to it.

Redskins > WFT > Commanders (imo)

But it is what it is. I like football too much to not have a favorite team and there's just no way I can pick another team sincerely. I'm in too deep. So let's go 'Manders!

I think the worst part will be when they put on those uniforms. That may push me to root for someone else. I want Brady to get another one, and I like Leftwich and Bowles so I want those guys to win.. Idk.. I sorta feel indifferent. It's just not the same anymore. But I still love football, I just don't know if I will care once the games start. There were times last year where I actually watched other games while ours was being played. That just would never ever ever happen back in the day when the streets were empty when the games were on..

Someone that I do business with sent me a bunch of Commanders gear in the mail. I gave almost all of it to my neighbor's kid. I see him w/ the Commnaders hat on all the time but he is the ONLY person I have seen w/ any of the new gear. I did keep the Pro V 1's w/ the ugly ass W on the side of the ball. Can't wait to smack the shit out of that W. I won't care if I hit them out of bounds or in the water.. :-) haha.

Question. How many posters here won't refer to the team as Commanders. Just want get a feel to see how many are taking that approach to the team.

I refer to them as the Commanders online to be correct - but I still call them Redskins off the pc because it's hard to change when that's what I've been calling them all my life. When I see the burgundy and gold I automatically associate that with Redskins.

Having the experience of going from Bullets to Wizards, I have had no problems referring to them as the Commanders, although I do find it easier referring to the team as Washington.

I've been a fan since 1974. I won't have an issue calling them Commanders -- it will feel weird at first (and that wasn't my first choice of a name), but I am ok with it. I care more about the product on the field than the name.

Same...for me that may likely be because they were washington football team for a bit, so I got really used to calling them just washington. Now with another switch, that has stuck for me. I'll likely continue to call them washington...esp as they don't really have anything else that distinguishes them as commanders. All the logos and everything are a w and the such. It's just the first thing I see.

It will be Skins or Redskins for me for rest of my life,I’m 60 now,only way I will ever refer to them as Commanders is if I happen to he talking to a young football fan years from now and would only know them by that name

BaltimoreSkins 05-02-2022 07:55 AM

Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders
 
I refer to them as Commanders but when talking casually to people will still call them the Skins or Redskins from time to time. It is just ingrained from years of fandom.

Any chance Dan sells the team prior to the season? Now that I'm on the east coast, I would really like to go see a game. I will be 39 by the time the season starts, and have only got to see them play live once in San Francisco.

Fuckin' Snyder, I don't want to give him any money though.

I just got this hoodie off Fanatics and I'm pretty pleased with it, I actually love the crest. But I still call them the Redskins when I talk about them out loud with people. Nobody bats an eye.

I just read that they're bringing back the marching band and revamping the words to the fight song. Bro, you can try, but that crowd is singing Hail to the Redskins when that tune plays, no matter what words you flash up on the jumbotron.

Redskins or Skins is just so much easier to say when having a conversation.

Washington Commanders is such a long name.

I typically just say Redskins for brevity.

I have mixed feelings about that. I loved the fight song, and I want to be happy that they listened to those of us saying it needed to stay. But I'm not sure how it connects well with Commanders... But I'll wait and see the revamped version.
No matter what, glad the song is staying.

I think they want to make sure they still play the tune knowing full well people are going to use the old lyrics. They can’t say it but I think they want it that way.

They aren't going to play the old tune with new lyrics. They have said it will be a new arrangement of the song so there will be familiar elements to the tune but it will sound more different than the same.

Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders
 
Yeah this isn't a scientific poll but from the responses here less than a 3rd choose to primarily/exclusively use Commanders as the name, a bit more than a 3rd will mix Redskins and Commanders (preference to Redskins) and a bit more than a 3rd won't call them the Commanders.

If that translates to the general fan base I think that my prediction that name Commanders won't last long and the team will go thru yet another name change will occur.

No way are they going through another name change. We'll be looking back at this in a couple of years and wonder what the big deal was. Especially if we have a decent team and win a couple of games.

And I'm no Johnny come lately, been a Redskins fans since '66.
