Exactly. I live 10 minutes outside of town and always call it DC, and that's all I ever hear. Sometimes I might say, "I'm going Downtown today", but its never Washington.
Those new road uniforms are horrendous, that Washington script looked great on the jersey. I don't mind the pullover since its not a full time look and love the addition of the DC patch. That has always been my favorite logo of theirs and would love to see it on a hat again, even with the District outline around it would be cool.
