Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders
The extremism on both sides is so funny and frustrating. On twitter right now it's basically "I hate this commie expansion team! I'll never ever ever cheer for them" or "WE ARE COMMANDERS! I drew this picture of a hog and it should be our new mascot, thank you Jason Wright for including us!"
Also, a stark reminder that this is the best Washington Football community around

Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders
I'm a bit concerned over my reaction to this. I had/have taken the position to just ignore the name change and it worked for me when it was just Team, but now I'm finding my interest in the franchise just not there and it is not a conscience deliberate reaction. I'd normally be pouring over draft prospects but have no inclination this year - I just don't care what they do in the draft or free agency. Wondering if this will carry over into the season. Damn shame because I want to care - but just don't.

Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders
New banner is sick ! Nice work Summo !
I know I'll get used to/on board with this new name over time, but I'm gonna need some nice things to help get me into it, and I have to say those visuals are real nice!

Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders
I know I'm late to the party but I think the team should've been renamed:
WASHINGTON RIGGINS -It would be 2 syllables, starting with an R. "Hail to the Riggins" would still work. -It would tie the team to its history -It would be unique (nobody else uses it) -Not offensive (unless Riggins has done something I don't know about?) -Fans would get a real kick out of it. |

Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders
Not like anyone needed a helmet. That was terrible, gets worse every year. I'm not sure what the point is.

Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders
Does anyone have actual pictures of the black helmet, other than the one JA was wearing in the announcement photos and that were on the mannequin? JA wears a big ass oldskool helmet and facemask.
I'd like to see what it looks like on a Riddell Speedflex helmet. One mock-up I saw had the numbers pretty big on the side and looked like the military numbers on the jerseys.

Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders
Thx! Those look pretty slick. I hated the W on the front, and still do on JA helmet., His big ass head ruined it.

Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders
Yes he wears a Schutt Air XP which is very rounded on top of his big ol' head it makes it look like the W is way too small and way too high on the shell. lol

Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders
Anything would be better than Commanders. Been a lurker on the board (and longtime member / older poster)... but I've moved on to purpler pastures.
I think it was just the combination of the everything Sndyer has done for this team, as well as this name providing an opportunity for a clean break for me. Still love this fan base, but if I'm being honest, I'm done given Snyder my time and money. Better fan experience in Baltimore, and I'm already and Orioles and Caps fan... so this just makes more sense now. I'll still lurk around on here, and probably passively route for the team... but I'm a Ravens fan until at least Snyder is gone.

Re: Welcome your Washington Commanders
I get the impression that it is Snyder, not necessarily the losing that is keeping him away. So i doubt that would matter. And I understand that - ive said before winning a SB would be so great but i think i would throw up watching that little prick holding the Lombardi trophy acting like he has been a success. But i would just stop watching football all together before i rooted for some other team. |
