You think if the names are close, someone would just say, "Hey, it's so close I'll just go ahead and drop the slur... they're basically asking for it"? I find that really hard to believe. Now, if you think having a new name start with Red might make accidental slip up happen more often, I could see that being a possibility, but that would IMO be on the announcers and their ability to police themselves, which isn't Washington's problem. Regardless, "cop out" isn't the term for either situation, which is what made me ask in the first place. I live in the DC Metro area. The former name isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. There will be relics. • There are fans who clearly don’t give a about the transition and still say the slur. • There are fans who at least make a noble attempt at transitioning from former to new, but remain apprehensive. • There are fans who embrace the name fully. Having “Red-“ in the name will cause slip ups and like you said, it’s really not up to the team itself to police, but they wouldn’t exactly be helping the cause either. With having “Commanders”, while still fresh, it wouldn’t cause as many slips in the years to come as something with “Red-“. Believe me, I could understand if they did choose Redwhatever this past offseason, like many wanted because it seemed like the most natural transition. Doing it now though? I don’t know about that. Why a half-assed revert? Because the hardheaded few don’t want rain on their parade? Again, I fully understand where you’re coming from. I just believe it’s in the best interest of the team to make as full and as clean of a break from the previous name as possible. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_tattoos Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Week 1 we're getting Arizona at Washington. I'm just gonna make the assumption Washington will wear one of the white jersey combinations to start the season. 1 Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froob Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Apologizes if I missed it, but is there something up with the Bears bear logo being on the nfl schedule site and in the draft? Is it becoming their primary logo? Great change if so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not since it's the city, not the Bears that has been threatening to withhold use of the "Chicago" name. I would think the Bears would want to hang onto that as much as possible. Probably just a recognition of how cool the bear head mark is. Interestingly, the team has a whole breakdown of the brand on their website, including specifying that the bear head must have a white outline around it. https://www.chicagobears.com/about/brand-guidelines :side note: Once you see that the Bears "C" is asymmetrical, you will never not see it again. And its never not been that way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The “CLE” gives off a samoan tattoo vibe. It’s a pretty bad logo overall. At least the other designs put the team first. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
