Washington Commanders is sooooo boring.

C'mon Washington Waterbucks.

I used to be firmly in the groundhog/warthog camp but you might have swayed me to join the waterbucks that is a cool looking animal.

Fans are bipolar I swear. On one hand people complain wanted transparency through this process, now people are hoping it's all a smoke screen, lol

I didn't care about transparency or not, I just wanted a cool name, no matter how it happened.

Commanders is fine. I don't hate it. It's just a blah name.

It's no Waterbucks.

In a vacuum you could probably say that most names are blah and boring. We're just used to them. In time we'll get used to Commanders too.

See: Washington Wizards.

LOL. A very uninspired choice. They should have gone back to Zephyrs which was the franchise's original name. Before that it was Packers, but that would have gone nowhere fast and for good reason.

Wizards come from a contest and was not the result of a multi-year internal deliberation. But I agree, the name isn't very good.

I wish Leonsis would go back to the Bullets so bad. Abe is dead and his family no longer owns the team so not sure why they still are the Wizards. I have a Bullets hat and wear it all the time.

If it's the Commanders you know what the shorthand name will be... the Commies.

Wanna go see the Commies game on Sunday? How'd the Commies do last night?

The Washington Commies? Defeats the whole purpose.

When Ted assumed control of the team, he invited fans to email him with suggestions and promised he would answer all. I did just that and suggested he bring back Bullets. He (or one of his minions) answered. He did not say no, but that they had some other work to do first and then would consider it.

I am perplexed as to why I have not heard back from Jason Wright.

Anyone else think that because some of these names have been circulating so widely now, and still a month away from the grand reveal, that they're all red herrings?
