Washington Commanders to debut new NFL identity

The Washington franchise under Snyder has been to the NFL what Kraft Singles are to real cheese. -
2021 NFL Season - Adults Arguing About Matt Stafford
burgundy replied to PittsburghSucks's topic in Sports In General
A few years old, but still relevant. Super Bowls aren't everything (though he now has as many as Brees, Warner, and Rodgers), and your other metrics are subjective awards. Stats don't lie. Rothlisberger being a better QB than Stafford is laughable. He just had better teams. -
2021 NFL Season - Adults Arguing About Matt Stafford

As someone who has been forced to watch the Lions on local TV, Stafford was the type of QB you spend on. Unfortunately, his best years were wasted while getting beat up in Detroit. But even at his current level of play I'd take him over Tannehill or Carr. The sudden flurry of penalties on that late drive was awfully stupid after barely calling anything all game. Both teams got away with much worse, yet they choose then to start throwing flags? But the Bengals had an opportunity to at least tie, and their line shat the bed. Sorry to all the long time Bengals fans; what a crap way to end the game. Congrats to all the Rams fans. And congrats on them winning in their best look. -
The colors work pretty well in that mock-up. Definitely a better option than having two black alternates like they currently have.

Not a bad idea. A nice subtle update that makes the branding more cohesive, even though only nerds like us would notice. If they wanted to get wild, they could do a desert gray alt, and I think it could be better than the black alts.

Seeing the Cardinals in anything other than a gray mask just feels wrong to me. They're the only non-silver-helmeted team to never change to a colored mask. Yes, it looks terribly out of place with their current horrible uniforms, but here's hoping they go with a more traditional look. And the fact that they kept the gray mask while modernizing the logo and uniforms makes me think that they believed the gray mask was an important part of their history and identity. I hope they still believe that because if anyone in the league should be wearing a gray mask, it's the oldest team in the league.

I'd pay for the opportunity to be the one doing the punching. -
That just sounds like a simplified version of Washington's black military dress-up. Please, no more "Military style" patches. Just because Pat Tillman was in the Army doesn't mean the Cardinals need to pay homage to it through their uniforms.

Just look at that 'stache. Joe Burrow wishes he had that much swagger. Just glorious. -

An incoherent mess that clearly doesn't belong together? Shortsightedly going after things that were popular a decade ago? Going with a company that's ill-suited for the job at hand to probably save a buck? Yep, that sounds like Dan Snyder's tenure alright. -

I don't know about that. Winning a playoff game was a relief, but getting to the Super Bowl is the reset. The Browns won a playoff game last year, but I'm pretty sure they're still a long-suffering fanbase. Sidenote: Toledo has basically been the nexus of long-suffering NFL teams and fanbases. Lions to the north, Browns to the east, and Bengals to the south. It's no wonder I went elsewhere for a team. Unfortunately, I still managed to find one of the dumbest franchises to root for. -

So Washington goes from a manchild who treated them as his own personal fantasy team, to a lady who treats the team as her own boutique fashion line. Jeebus forking christ. -

So I decided to order a shirt. Fk Dan Snyder. I'd rather my money go towards Joe Burrow's real diamonds. -

Even the merchandise is inconsistent. They can't even put the damn helmet logo on a hat without screwing up. -

They went through the charade of asking fans what they wanted when they clearly didn't care. Nobody asked for Commanders. People were asking for variations of Wolves, Hogs, or Redtails. Not being able to use Wolves for legal reasons is perfectly understandable, but why the hell didn't they go with Warthogs or Redtails? Instead they go and fellate the military with a clunky name and ugly, incohesive uniforms that nobody wanted. -

I'll withhold my full disgust for the actual reveal. The shirt was a nice distraction from the hideous reality. -
