The Washington Redskins considering changing their name and logo

It's not the best but it's not horrible, at least they didn't stay "football team" which would have been the worst choice.

"Guardians" and "Commanders" both sound pretty lame to me, but Boston Red's post about getting used to a nickname has merit. "Packers" is an iconic nickname now but would probably sound lame if it did not already have a century long legacy. I understand that "Red Wolves" had some trade name issues; I was actually hoping Washington would go with "Red Hogs" to harken back to their teams under Joe Gibbs.
For the most part I like team nicknames which sound like something a bunch of kids would come up with to name their team.

This is a good way to look at it. “Commanders” is what happens when a bunch of football tough guys, lawyers, and corporate shills get together and try to come up with a Very Serious nickname.

How about the Washington Tyrants? That sounds like a very forward thinking name

I like how you can call them the "Commies" for short.

Well it is appropriate to call them Commanders 'cause DC "commands" us to do all sorts of things
