Second dumbest shit I’ve ever seen. Dumbest is the Cleveland Guardians.
Like the Browns were any better? lol Where are the Reds and Greens? Those are great names.

The new names aren't half bad. Like any of the sports names are that great to begin with. Packers? Lions? People just like to bitch about anything.

I'm offended it promotes the military and doesn't pay respects to the millions the US have killed in wars.
Quite true, in 30 years when the military is back on the John Q. Public shitlist these teams will have to change names again. They should just give them numbers based on a registration list.

Sounds generic, but cant wait for people to try to link Commanders like old US military taking over Natives.

And that tshirt logo looks awful.

Hey, leave my Browns out of this. We have enough problems without you throwing shade. They're an old franchise, named after coach Paul Brown - Brown's football team. Browns. Leave us alone.

Also, the Cincinnati Reds exist.......

Guardians is bad too. Although I'd say not as bad as Commanders, since at least they played the safe PR route going from Indians to being protector.

Commander is basically a warlord kind of image. lol

Side note: How does this survive in modern age? Chicago Blackhawks.

The worst possible outcome, and they fucked the uniforms up too.

They really would have been far better off remaining as the "football team" with those sick classic unis with the numbers on the helmets.

The word commander encapsulates elites and their superiority over common folk, especially minorities who had to endure slavery by commanding white class. How is anyone ok with this? Ban this filth!

How do teams like the Raiders and the "Commanders" just make the worst possible moves at literally every opportunity?



It's fucking mindboggling.

Hey at least give the Radiers credit for bailing on Oakland and moving to Vegas to bathe in money. That was a brilliant move. The rest? Ya dumpster fires look more organized.

I didn't make any connection with anything other than American Football reading the title. Thought Commanders sounded better. Like in control of the field rather than bloodied(hurt and fighting on!) which is how I read Redskin when first seeing it.
