Or They represent the three Super Bowls the Washington football franchise has won

We get it, it can have multiple meaning, just because some one doesn’t include every possible reason 3 stars are on the uniform doesn’t mean you have to add it when it’s been in the thread easily 10x now.

Do you really want to piss off Dexter?

Yeah. They have some sordid history, and it’s not just the old name. In fact, I would argue that the actions of George Preston Marshall with regard to integration were a good bit worse than any team name. Then you have the harassment allegations from the past few years, and the mostly unspoken fact that their current owner is a toxic dickweed and to some extent their work environment will *always* be toxic while he is in charge. 

 

Missed opportunity to dissolve the franchise imho.

That would be an overreaction. They’re still a very historic franchise with a lot of memorable moments: Turk Edwards’ bizarre career-ending injury, 73-0, the career of Sammy Baugh, the end of Vince Lombardi’s career (and life), the Over-the-Hill Gang, Mike Bass’ touchdown on Garo Yepremian’s ill-advised throw, Riggins’ Super Bowl run, Doug Williams and Timmy Smith setting the world on fire in Super Bowl 22, and the 1991 team - arguably the best NFL team of the Super Bowl era, right up there with the ‘72 Dolphins, ‘84 49ers, ‘85 Bears, and (LOLOLOLOL) ‘07 Patriots. 
 

I do believe the league could find a reason, if HQ really wanted to, to force Dan Snyder to sell the team. That plus the new name could work wonders in the rehabilitation of the franchise.

Decent mockups based off today's leaks:

I really like this, and I also don’t hate the name Washington Commanders, either. It’s a bit cheesy, but it works for a team based in DC, and it would make a Super Bowl vs Kansas City kinda fun 🤷‍♂️

Around the 3 minute mark in  the video, Jason used “Anchor” as a term of solidifying the teams new identity. Im taking a wild swing but I wouldn't be surprised if the Admirals is indeed the name but still think Commanders is the favorite. After all Military presence is big in the DMV area

They can’t find a reason with rampant sexual assault allegations and Snyder interfering with the investigations. I don’t know what it will take to get the league to force him to sell the team.

If the Washington Football Team changes to the Admirals, then I demand that the Chiefs change to the BBTVs.

I wish the name could have been Redgolds. Old timey but unique. I think there's a University in Wisconsin called the Bluegolds and it works well.

Yep, UW Eau Claire Blugolds...and at the high school level, a school in Milwaukee and another in Madison are Purgolders.

If that logo is accurate and it’s any indication of the word mark, it’s bad enough that we have the Packers and Steelers with stencil font. We don’t need Washington following suit.

It’s far too early to be making these conclusions from blurry reflections. How anyone can even get a stencil from it is beyond me. Right now everything with the logo is purely speculation.

Circling back on this, just spit-balling here...

 

Look at the letter on the name plate.  It definitely isn't an S or N.  I think it could be an a M.  And I think the nameplate may have the team name, FOOTBALL TEAM (or just TEAM, whatever.  Admittedly a little ridiculous to see either on a jersey, but work with me here.)

Apologies if this has already been mentioned, but to me, the dot-diamond thing going on in the bottom-right image is implying some sort of gradient texture within the numbers, kind of like some hybrid between the Seahawks and Rams.

 

I've really been trying to figure out what the bottom left image is showing. At first glance, the angled seam would indicate that it's showing the arm stripe. So.. the same stripe as the 2nd row, right column... just showing the light jersey instead of the dark jersey. Clearly though, the widths are different, and there is a lack of that diamond texture in the yellow-white-yellow stripe.

 

Does this mean that there is going to be a weird inconsistency in sleeve stripe design from home<-->away, again much like the Rams?

 

Or, does the white inner stripe "fade out" in to a different color using a dot gradient and we just can't see it in the teaser image...... like this sort of thing:
