As I said it my post it's not just the crest thing. It's everything single thing w/ them.

IMHO there are two different POVs currently running through Washington fandom.

The first places a premium on history and tradition of the franchise. Unsurprisingly, this features mostly unhappy fans as they feel a genuine loss. One catches a whiff of over sentimental tendencies, bitterness, and reluctance to embrace change.

The second is forward looking and places a premium on the future rather than wallowing in the past. Unsurprisingly, this features mostly optimistic fans who do not see this as a death, but rather as much needed rebirth. One catches a whiff of romantic expectations regarding wins and possibly a slight tinge of Stockholm Syndrome.

Both schools of thought are legitimate and have their merits. But they are largely incompatible at this time.
