The Washington Football Team Formerly Known As The Redskins And Now Known As The Commanders unveiled their name change this morning. Predictably it did not go over well, because the Daniel Snyder era of Washington football is synonymous with failure. The name is generic and the uniforms are a blend of the worst aspects of Nike’s designs.
The name Commanders sounds like a Madden franchise rebrand name or one from a movie that doesn’t want to pay for NFL licensing. The team in The Replacements was the Washington Sentinels, which is a cooler name, and they had better jerseys.
