The Washington Commanders will take the football field near the nation's capital this fall, team officials said Wednesday, ending an 18-month name search.
The team will keep its traditional burgundy and gold uniforms and hope this new title can boost interest in the once-proud franchise that has posted just five winning seasons this century.

my visceral reaction: could've been worse, could've been better
I think Washington Brigade would've been a slick name
you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet
Fitting.
So Commanders like Washington himself was Commander-in-Chief or something? How exactly did they arrive at that one and not any of the others?
sigh of relief they didn't call themselves the Generals

PS: Why are there some that don't like the Kansas City Chiefs name? I mean what's so offensive about that and an arrowhead? I mean redskin is a slur and the Indian on Washington's helmet was way darker than realistic skin color so I can understand that but what's wrong with chief? I mean we have police chief, fire chief...
Of course if they really must change the name someday...hee hee...

Commanders are a lower rank than Captain in the US Navy... They blew it..
Braves Chiefs yes, Redskins sorry, that's racial. Cleveland Indians? just needed to change that hat. Check out some of the Braves earlier logos, PS - hope they never change again another teams name to please some political agenda.
I still like Redskins better and will continue to call them that.
Whenever I'm talking about the Cardinals I always say St Louis. Just can't help it.
some are calling them Washington Commies
I don't like the name, they could have come up with something better than that.
Redwolves would have been better than Commanders, they really blew this one.
Well, it didn't take long for Commanders fans to come up with a rallying cry, I believe this was stolen from the Farmers commercials, check out the video.
So you are saying that racist name changes are there to please some political agenda? Hmm.............
Will the cheerleaders be the "COMMANDERETTES"........ Kinky! 👩🚒
I agree that Red Wolves would have been a totally cool name in all ways in a violent sport. Too bad they were worried about the legal use of that name.
Leave it to this sorry, inept franchise to go from attempting to honor Native Americans with a racial slur, to instead honoring the primarily white guys that wiped the American Indians mostly out of existence (the U.S. Military). Let alone how the U.S. Military has slaughtered millions (including women and children) around the world in the past hundred years. Talk about tone deaf. They should have gone with an innocuous animal like Redwolves.

The Red Wolves would serve the same purpose.
They could have gone with "Burgundy and Gold" -- that's been their nickname for 90 years anyway. It's heavily used by the fans already. It would have honored the past without any trademark issues. Their team colors are actually Burgundy and Gold ... not Red ... so Red was a misnomer.

then they should be called the Gold Burgs?
I was hoping for something Original like the Capitols or the Federals .
Best uniform ever ... A deep burgundy (not a ketchup red) ... a true gold (not a mustard yellow) ... arrow on the helmet. Call them the Washington Warriors and be done with it. A Warrior doesn't necessarily have to be military or indian and honors the past. A good graphics person can mess with the arrow to make it not Indian in nature. An arrow can be a cool icon, as cool as the cowboys star or the chargers lightning bolt.

Dont mess with the FED! They should have consulted me, I work pro bono.
The Washington Gold would be better than the Commanders

That's not bad.....I like it! Very creative!
Why not....it worked for a lousy baseball team for generations..... why not for a lousy generational football team?
P.S. Where is George Allen when we need him!!!!!
How about The Artists Formerly Known As the Redskins?

There will be a group of Washington Fans that sit in the end zone and wear no underwear to the games. They will be known as the Commando's

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Never heard of them buddy!
How about Barnyard Commandos?

The Washington Redskins said they were going to remove the offensive part of their name.
It'll just be Redskins from here on out.
