It amazes me how organizations continue to miss the mark this badly. My exact same thoughts too when I saw these. Just gotta hope the Eagles introduce a throwback 3rd and that's it.

Ninoners Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Maybe the strategy was, "if we make the uniforms so bad, it'll draw attention away from the renaming!" 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So lets scrap the logo that was created by a Native American. And then let's rebrand the entire franchise to a US military theme. The same US military that basically wiped out these same Native Americans and forced them onto reservations. Perfect. Not trying to start a storm with this post or sticking up for the old name. Just pointing out the irony. You put quotes around racist just to avoid any confusion, right? 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 How the F do they not have dandelion outlines on the white jersey? They completely took a crap on the traditions that they no only claimed that they were going to maintain, but still claim that they did maintain. For better or for worse, the NFC East is one of the more traditional divisions, and now they stand out like a bruised and bloody thumb. The "using a driver for a 3" put" analogy is pretty spot on. They could have just done a Jaguars to "tear it down to bare bones" and then built it back up over time. 18 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Sorry, wasn't trying to make a statement about the name being racist or not. Honestly. I think I was just put those in quotes just to point out that was the basic reason. And that's not the point of my post. The point of my post is that the entire purpose of this rebrand was to right something that society felt was wrong. And in doing that, they picked a military theme. The same military which has done quite a bit of wrong to Native Americans as a whole. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Monochrome. Told ya. Alternative helmet just for the sake of having one. Told ya. (Just the start... You wanted second helmet options? Congratulations.) Well, at least it's an Okay day for the Tennessee Titans. 18 Quote http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrySmalls Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Did no one think the nickname through that Commanders can be shortened to "Commies", e.g., Washington Commies? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQK Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Pay Arkansas State whatever you have to, build them a new athletics facility, whatever it takes to get the Red Wolves name, Hell... just take the heat and go back to Rėdskins, because this? This ain't it. Oof. 4 Quote Stay Tuned Sports Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltjets21 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 People blaming Nike are just so ridiculous. Every team has the opportunity to tell the uniform producers what they want, it was already known that little Rat Snyder wanted black in the uniforms for decades. Look at the Vikings, Lions, Colts, Browns and tell me new mild uniforms cant come out. Its all about what you want sculpted. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinsUp1214 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Honestly, if a 90-year old franchise is going this far off the rails with the removal of the one-helmet rule, there’s a part of me that’s worried for any future rebrand from any team at all. I don’t think I can trust teams to not look at this and get wild ideas they shouldn’t be running with. Give it five years and we’ll have a game with Arizona in a copper helmet vs Minnesota in a black helmet. That of course isn’t anything I’m rooting for, but I think that could be where we’re headed. The NFL unlocked the door, and Washington just kicked it down. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever since Commanders leaked weeks ago, Commies was totally being bandied about, even on a particular podcast. Heh. The WashingtonNFL subreddit is embracing the Communist memes for now while they prepare to overdose on their medications of choice. The black shiny helmet is just...it's a kick to the nuts. The rest of the design is garbage, but then you float the BFBS crap, AND a BFBS helmet that's ALSO shiny, while your main helmet is matte. This is a nightmare. The more I look at this the more I hate it. I want the entire franchise identity to be mercy-drowned in a shallow creek. 14 Quote Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

Bordeaux Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Really like the home jersey. Away and alternate are out of left field and the lack of pant stripes show zero cohesion. 3 Quote @RiseofDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
