If they had just gone with 82, 87, 91 nobody would be complaining right now, so I get it. But I also see what they were going for. The decision as to what years to put on there should have been vetted more thoroughly that's for sure.

The dates on the rings are 82, 87, 91. That's the dates I'd have used.

83, 88, and 92 jumped out at me immediately as WRONG. This inattention to detail is an insult to long-time fans who know better. Pro Football Reference is the definitive reference for players, teams, and seasons of the NFL - they have it correct: 82, 87, and 91. When discussing all-time great teams, you never hear mention of the 86 Bears, do you? https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/

Yes I get it, they should have used 82, 87, 91. But technically, the years they used aren't wrong, they just aren't the commonly accepted way we refer to those teams.

Agree…these guys can’t get out of their own way.

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.

Maybe they should use 1937 - 1942 - XVII - XXII - XXVI

Wright trying to justify it makes him look like a straight up fool. He is just a empty suit. These are simple details that a 12 year old can get right.

Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders

There is a lot more going on in this world light years more important than a nfl name change … I’m just rolling with it cause it ain’t a damn thing I can do to change it ..I refuse to be mad or bitter about this .. it will eat you up .. everyone has voiced there opinion it’s time to focus on Qb , free agency, draft etc ..I doubt that there is any of us that would walk into our bosses office and tell him what a damn fool he is .. Jason has a nice job and a family to provide for .. I don’t fault him at all .. I’m am supporting him !

Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders

Part of me wishes they just left the pre-Superbowl championships off and went with the Roman numeral of the Super Bowl wins. I think that would actually look really cool.

also, Swaggy chimes in on Twitter:

Whoever mentioned being a fan of the team may be suffering from Stockholm Syndrome is a frickin Genius. Hats off to sports psychology of a Redskins fan.

Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders

Pigskins
Hogs
Redwolves

3 names that are all way better than Commanders and would have had a connection to our past while still being a fresh start.

How I feel about Dan and how he feels about us fans...
