We are thinking way too much into this name thing guys.

Its a name, all that matters is wins and losses

Yes, I like it a million times better. Has "skins" in it and it sounds old school. I love old school. Also, it's original. I don't know of any team that has a name remotely close.

Redwolves is what most fans wanted, it sounds close to our previous name, wolves are bad-fucking-ass, and they have a link to native Americans.

Anyways, this is my last post about the name itself. It is what it is. By the time the season starts I'll be used to it.

I hope they tweak the crest and uniforms. I don't like the white ring, even if the years are fixed. I'd remove it altogether.

The home jersey is fine with different pants. The road and alternate uniforms are just ugly as fuck imo. Those could use a lot of tweaks, and fingers crossed they look way better on actual players on the field.

I figured out why not Wolves.
A long time ago, a wolf was slang for a guy who was on the prowl for women to get just one thing.

The association to the front office's behavior towards women is almost identical to the slang term.

Lets face it, our front office males were already Washington Wolves. There are dozens of women that would easily already agree to that most accurate nickname. Same goes for pigs of any kind.
I personally loved Warriors, and I did like Redwolves. Commanders is just punting on 1st down. They didn't even try. It is so sad.
My personal only hope is that the NFL forces Snyder to sell and he does, and the owner either buys the team, moves it away and puts a nail in this comatose franchise, or....the a new owner keeps them here and pushes all the right buttons to get a name the fanbase actually requested.
Commanders is flat out dog crap, it fits the team's reputation perfectly.
It is a shame. One of the most storied franchises in all of sports, with one of the classiest hall of fame coach and best teams ever, erased systematically mistake by horrible mistake over 20 years.

My daughter showed me their high school football branding and said it looked better. She was right, I asked who did it, she said the marketing club...high school students!

I have noticed many big time warpath names seriously considering time to get off the titanic. We hit the iceberg long ago. Consider me in that same group. I bailed commenting here for a couple years and came back. I am glad you are all here and appreciate being part of a great and educated online community. We all have our reasons to stick with this team through anything, but I kinda equate it to being a lifelong republican who bailed because of Trump, but is still hanging on hope that things get back to respectability. The similarities with what Dan Snyder has done, especially ego and letch wise is uncanny. I am a big believer in you reap what you sow, and that includes integrity and respect. Nothing about this says respect for fans. What it says is do everything you can possibly do to cover up and protect a man who has shown nothing but an interest in himself at the expense of all others, including all of us.
This team is still a serious problem to the NFL, and women, and minorities (native americans) Any decent owner would have been able to garner respect from native americans enough to get us to simply change name to warriors or something that is not considered a slur. We could keep the proud identity. But Danny just doesn't garner any respect and only changed names when threatened by big business (not even the fans themselves).

Changing a name does not change the owner.
Firing everyone in the front office but keeping the same owner is merely to cover his butt. Hiring a black GM is certainly a plus, but it sounds like the same words of every other yes man he has hired. So Danny checks off some boxes, women coach, black GM, woman spokesperson. That's all great, but the leader of the team remains the same. He is a narcissist. All about me. Unfortunately, that rarely changes. The only way this team truly changes is to make the one and now only change that has not been made.
Get rid of Danny.

I propose that he sell shares of the team to the fans, until we own at least 51% Then, and only then will the glory years be in our future.

Thank you all for your awesome comments and comraderie over the years. It has been great. I may go into a self induced Redskins coma for a while again. Happy New year and Hail to the Redskins!
