Eric from BBI : Admin : 1/8/2022 7:17 pm
Don't know if this accurate, but that's the word...

Just keep it the WFT. Commanders? Lame AF.
Bleh  
Spider43 : 1/8/2022 7:20 pm : link
Keep WFT. Commanders is too cheesy.
Awful name

Where did this Info come from ?  
Ron from Ninerland : 1/8/2022 7:23 pm : link
Essex maybe ?
Misdirection  
Shock-Man : 1/8/2022 7:24 pm : link
I'm sure the team is purposely putting out bits and pieces so nobody has a clue what it is. There are obviously multiple options they own trademark for. The Admirals linking to their site. Launching on Groundhog Day with Hogs one of the choices. Now Commanders. Good job on the team keeping it chaotic.

My daughter's boyfriend is a huge Washington fan. He just told me it's gotten leaked.

Again, don't know if it is true.

The Redskins.
How bland can you get?  
j_rud : 1/8/2022 7:42 pm : link
That's a turkey on dry toast name. Thats the name of an antagonist team from a bad movie about an aging QB coming to grips with his fading ability. That's a name proposed by a focus group of men in their 50s who own multiple pairs of white New Balance sneakers (newer for dress and older for lawn work).
Still hard for me to remember  
joeinpa : 1/8/2022 7:43 pm : link
the name change, The Giants have some history with this team and their previous name, it was imprinted on me, and that will never change.

I rarely slip and use it anymore, but I never once used that name and thought of anything except a football team.

I don’t really care what name they use, it sounds strange




should just keep WFT  
markky : 1/8/2022 7:45 pm : link
WFC (Washington Football Club) would have been better. but all these leaked names are lame.

WFT.

It's going to be something military related  
BH28 : 1/8/2022 7:45 pm : link
WFT did a new uniform tease and part of the new unis was three gold stars.
Took them this long  
UberAlias : 1/8/2022 7:47 pm : link
To come up with that? LOL.
It seems a lot of people prefer WFT or WFC.  
j_rud : 1/8/2022 7:47 pm : link
It's really difficult to pick a new name for an established franchise. None of them work really, although at least Hogs ties into their history. Everything else sucks.

Commanders isn’t bad  
Chris684 : 1/8/2022 7:50 pm : link
But I think Armada and Admirals are both better.

Federals is pretty cool.

I would be big on the whole military/patriotic/political theme of DC.
Well...  
bw in dc : 1/8/2022 7:50 pm : link
lots hope the Commanders destroy us tomorrow, too.
Red Wolves is a name I'm seeing  
shadow_spinner0 : 1/8/2022 7:50 pm : link
posted on social media, it's a much better name than Commanders or Admirals.
Are they going

HAHAHA. LOL. You win the thread. Inquiring minds definitely want to know.

All the proposed names are lame. I agree they should have just stayed with the WFT, but that was obviously not a long-term option.

Here’s Boomer Esiason saying it’s the Admirals, fyi.
Link - ( New Window )
WFT  
CV36 : 1/8/2022 8:05 pm : link
That’s better than any option they mentioned so far.
Thats like the 3rd or 4th name leaked so far  
widmerseyebrow : 1/8/2022 8:10 pm : link
Seems like a deliberate misinformation campaign to conceal the name for the announcement date.

Commanders is lol.
They should go with Warriors

They could keep the spear logo on the helmet.

Or go with Foreskins this way we can still call them the Skins : )

besides the obvious, how much less is a Commander compared to an Admiral?
agree they should just keep it Washington Football Team

They should have went with Redtails but I don’t know if that was ever really considered.
Red Tails  
BigBlueBuff : 1/8/2022 10:04 pm : link
was such a slam dunk name. Leave it to that franchise to screw this up.
Wankers was my original choice  
Ike#88 : 1/8/2022 10:55 pm : link
but back in the day of New York having 2 Giants and St Louis having 2 Cardinals going with Nationals would be OK.

The jokes write themselves for the Washington Commodes
So many better names I've seen:
Brigade
Warchiefs
Warhawks
Armada
Red hogs
Red Hawks
Generals
Renegades
Even just keeping it the "Washington Football Team" is better than Commanders

Said they are hearing either Commanders or Admirals.

I’ll never understand how they didn’t even consider Warpath. It’s in their stupid fight song already.
