Why not lean into it? Better uniforms than anything the Teamers ever wore too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two DC institutions that could not be more diametrically opposed. And we thought it was bad when the team in* (near) the seat of federal government took its name from the slur of the people it genocided. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 The 32s name came about because technically their name became Washington Football Team Established 1932, so shorten that sucker up to the 32s, and baby you gotta stew going. 10 Quote Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

Who wants to glorify a year in the height of the Great Depression? It just sounds lame and most people outside of diehards won't know what it's referring to. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because so many people know about the 1849 California gold rush, and celebrate the ways it hastened the demise of the remaining Native tribes in the west via disease and massacre. What a fine time to be an American! Glorify the name "49er." 9 Quote Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

BUT, if you want to get technical, there were people who were nicknamed "49ers" who participated in the gold rush. That makes sense. There's no relevant reference to 32 other than the trivia note that was the WTF, er, WFT establishment year. On the serious side, 32s is just is incredibly lame, IMHO. Just can't see it polling well in fan surveys. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commanders I think "We will launch" is being extrapolated to mean more than it does because it's taken out of context. "We will launch" is not the entire sentence; it's followed by a dramatic pause for the date reveal. The entirety of what they're saying is "We will launch... 2/2/22". Sure, it could have a second meaning, but it's likely they're just referring to the launch of the new identity. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn’t fall back on a temporary identity if they want to “define our future” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
