"MarkMonitor, with headquarters at The Village at Meridian, obtained the domain for Commanders.com. MarkMonitor is the registrar for the NFL and all but six of the NFL’s teams, the Sporting News reported Thursday."

All I can think of is Jay & Silent Bob.

"I AM THE COMMANDER OF THE ****"

Thread claiming JTS was “New Football Stadium”…maybe still better naming skills than this.

I kinda want them to keep “Football Team”

Agreed. Commanders sounds like a USFL or arena league team.

 

[MeowingCows]

Well, at least it wasn't another generic animal.

It's hard to introduce a new sports team name without it sounding dumb because outside the context of most teams history all names of sports teams are dumb.

Yeah, a lot of current team names would also sound stupid or clichéd if they didn’t have history.

It's fine.. It's not a home run but it's also not terrible.

Two years from now no one with think twice about it.

Not everybody can be the Kraken.

Exactly this. There will be some vocal haters initially, regardless of what they change it to, but nobody will care in a couple years.

The brand new teams are the best in terms of how creative they can be.

Kraken and Golden Knights not only nailed the names, their color schemes fit their respective cities to a T.

Seems to me that the Washington Warriors would have been a phenomenal name.

 

[houjix]

Still better than the Cleveland Guardians.

Wasn't there some weird history with that...like the team held the rights to the Washington Warriors and let it expire and someone else snatched up the rights and wanted millions for it. I have only have a vague recollection of that story.

Keep the name redskins and just be red skinned potatoes. everyone wins.

Commanders is kinda "meh," but it's better than Senators or Nationals.

My vote would be Public Officials.
