Hell, I'd have taken a name like Warthogs or something. At least that has the connection to the 80's and early 90's WFT and the last truly prestigious period of the team's history before moving to FedEx and Snyder getting his mitts on it. "Washington Commanders" sounds like a friggin' made up team you'd see in like Tecmo Bowl or something because the devs couldn't get the NFL rights. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBomb Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 All they had to do was literally take the current uniform, stick a W on the helmets, the team name on the chest and called it a day. These are hilariously horrific. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These look like they came from that meeting, and Dan Snyder said "Yeah, fine, I'll take all of those, done" and then went back to browsing one of his folders of cheerleader upskirt pics. I think you’re on to something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptay Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 As for the logos, I'm still waiting for something that looks even mildly interesting. 18 months. It took them 18 months. For this. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cujo Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 2 hours ago, SFGiants58 said: For all the people who complained about how the Cleveland Guardians played it safe, this is exactly why "playing it safe" is a better option sometimes. Especially when an owner like Dan Snyder continuously leads the team to the pits. Not that 'Commanders' is an awful name. The execution after coming up with the name is where Washington went wrong here. Cleveland decided to freshen up their previous look, but nothing too far from what their fans and baseball were used to. You look at the uniforms and you can say "That looks like Cleveland baseball" Washington, while knowing they had to go in a different direction, went in a far different direction. They saw the Rams and trends in the college game and tried to 1-up them all. And ya, I'm sure Nike told Snyder "kids will like em", while totally neglecting what 99% of what their fanbase was actually asking for. FAIL FAIL FAIL. I'm sorry Washington fans. This sucks for you. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's to hoping that they wake up in 5 years and bring back the classic Football Team uniforms. Its a shame that they got rid of the unique two stripe sleeve pattern and ripped off the Chiefs sleeve stripes on the burgundy jerseys. And why can't teams just use a traditional block font right? That would help this set out a lot. What a way to celebrate 90 years of this franchise. That's the real kicker...a franchise that's been around for 90 years resorting to garbage like this. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like if the Yankees or Habs decided they needed to "modernize" their look and scrapped pretty much everything that fans love about their uniforms in the process. That :censored:ing black jersey is godawful. Pure BFBS. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means I'm half white and half "Indian." I bet you wouldn't be comfortable calling me that former Washington team name to my face. In case you're still wondering, that's why the old name and uniform had to go. I know why it had to go, and I'm glad it's gone. I will also miss the uniform they wore up until the 2021 season, because it was beautifully designed. Why is a mod trying to pick a fight? I said nothing indicating their former identity should have stayed. You gonna go into the Prettiest Super Bowl thread and harass everyone who mentioned a SB Washington's been in? If you saw my post as "trying to pick a fight" you were looking for something that wasn't there. My point was simple, if the team's name is a slur that you (and by you I mean the royal you) wouldn't call someone to their face, it's a bad team name and it needs to go. When someone said that name was the reason it's gone, your exact words were "don't care." What would you think if you were me and you saw that response? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleJunior Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 The fact a DC News Chopper pretty much made this public cracks me up. I did see a "oops" leak on a piece of paper from a NBC Sports Washington. Nah, not a fan of the logo, name. Jerseys are ok though I guess. 3 Quote º º º º Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZapRowsdower8 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 From what I’ve observed so far even the “normies” aren’t loving these. Seeing far fewer than for previous releases. The real test will be tomorrow of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
