After taking a nice nap, and having some time to process all of it a little bit more here are my thoughts:

I do not love, or at the moment, even like the name. I'll get used to it though and I think it's totally fine and might even be a cool imposing name if we actually start to win something.
I'm glad Jason said something about this 'just being the launch.' As insane as it is considering they had a good chunk of time to iron out all the details, there is so much about this that feels unfinished. The logo needs to evolve rather quickly IMO, and the crest is actually pretty cool and would be a decent primary logo on its own. The potential for a mascot of sorts is also pretty cool, and the possibility that the existing fight song can probably incorporate Commanders and live on is cool.
The jerseys are the biggest letdown for me. The Burgundy could have looked really, really classy but that giant 'Commanders' above the number is jarring and cheapens the whole look. Especially when you consider how nice the burgundy helmets look, it's really a damn shame. The white jerseys look like they belong to a different team. The lack of gold accents and not using the same shade of burgundy as the home jerseys is such a shame. I'm not a fan of an all-black uniform but I guess they're fine... until you look at that ridiculous W on the front of the helmet black helmet.
