Washington Commanders can't do anything right

Not the Wolves or RedWolves either: https://www.washingtonfootball.com/news/presidents-brief-why-wolves-wont-work

Quote

First, and I'll cut to the chase here, we can confirm that, after careful consideration, our team name will not be Wolves or RedWolves.
Once we began looking into Wolves, however, we became aware of a notable challenge: trademarks held by other teams would limit our ability to make the name our own. And without Wolves, variations like RedWolves wouldn't have been viable either for these and other reasons.

2.2.22, Ground"hogs" day.... I think it will be some variation of Washington "Hogs". We will see.

The new unis are a variation of the WFT ones.  Only #'s no logos, ultra clean college look.  So I'm gonna go ahead and say I think it's going to be the Washington Brigade.

Live in football team territory. Most believe it's going to be Commanders.

Danny Boy should thumb his nose at everyone and re-name them:

Commanders and Admirals are the names trending. Uniforms are similar colors, there are stripes around the shoulder and stars:

I still think it'll be some version of Hogs... RedHogs?

I still can't believe they didn't even consider Pigskins.

Dan Snyder about to chase away the last die hard fans he has left. My level of skin hate used to be up there with the cowboys. But not anymore. They aren't worth the hate. It's more amused pity now. Sunday felt like I was at the Linc. Except the crappy stadium. 75 percent opposing team fans on your last home game of the year. Sad.

Looking at the stars, and basing it only on my Army background, my first thought is Generals. But they'd have to get the rights to that name from the USFL Washington Generals.

It would be very Snyder-esque to just use the name without acquiring the rights and then get sued.

Does USFL naming rights still exist?

I believe so, but I won't swear to it. After all, doesn't the USFL still exist and aren't they planning a new league?

I think so. But what is the relation from the new league to the old one from 35 years ago? Legally it's a brand new entity, no?

A lot of people would like to see that happen.

Actually, they should bring back the name of the first two baseball franchises in Washington (the teams that became the Minnesota Twins after the 1960 and Texas Rangers after the 1971 season), The Senators:

This is the logo I would use, substituting a running back or quarterback dropping back to pass for the pitcher.  I would put The Capitol on the helmets and retain the same colors the current WFT uses.

The Senators?  Then everybody would hate them.

Just a quick search on trademarks says that trademarks can last forever, but have to be renewed every 10 years. So if they've been kept renewed, someone would still hold the rights. Were they kept up? That, I don't know.

It's kinda been in style last few years for a new team to try to match with the already established teams from the the other major sports.  Nationals/Admirals has a ring to it.

It's going to be announced on February 2nd. Why February 2nd, of all dates? Because it's Ground Hogs Day.

What better day to announce the new name, when that new name is:

The Washington Red Hogs.

Book it.

Living in the DC areas, I came to the same conclusion.

Nix on the Senators. Given the corruption everpresent in Washington, that would NOT be a good brand.

Personally I hope it's Admirals... "The Wathington Admiralth! A jovial band of gloriouth theamen!"
