If a Washington football player dates a Kansas City cheerleader, would he be a Commode in Chief?

Biggest issue as I think about it is this is a three syllable name with no logical abbreviation for fans and media. They’ll end up being called comms or commies or just washington still.

I‘m guessing the three stars represent their three SB championships, like how national soccer teams do the same for World Cup championships.
I suppose that can work since there's almost no chance of them winning any championships in the near future. :laugh4:

I live in VA around a ton of WFT fans and they are all pretty underwhelmed with the new stuff, but they’ve also been trained to expect disappointment under Daniel Snyder so they are actually taking it pretty well.

They missed a big opportunity IMO. Those uniforms look like shit. They look like the low budget garbage team they are though so it's fitting.

This is the exact same message seen on every other team's fan forum about our rebrand.

I wasn't a fan of ours either. But ours was miles better than Washington's IMO.

Emblem is ok. I like the Pentagon shape but they should have went with a star format as used in the military. Also they should have went with 5 or at minimum 4 stars. Since 5 star ranks are reserved for dire windows 4 stars would be appropriate but 3 looks stupid.

Here's a standard 5 star cluster. Though that shape even within a pentagon would have pissed Jerry Jones off. :laugh3:

And the standard 4 cluster is usually arranged in a line.

Also I maintain that not rebranding the colors is a big mistake. If you're gonna rebrand and move on then do it right. Those colors went fine with the name Redskins. Not so much with Commodes. But Snyder gonna Snyder.
Just a guess but I hope it is true. 1 star for each championship. I actually love when professional teams represent their championships with a star. Not positive but my guess is that is what the stars represent
Edit: Sorry @IE Rams I just went back and read through the thread and you previously mentioned the relevance of the stars.

The white unis with red numbers look OK. The name isn't very good though. Looks like they might have taken a few ideas from the Rams new unis. The way the W on the helmet is designed is similar to the horn on the Rams helmet. The border on the numbers on the red uni look similar to the border on our numbers.

The red uni's look good to me the others are meh. Too plain with the white but at least there's no gradient numbers :D

Colors are good.

Commodes? I don’t know, it sounds cartoonish badass. Or science fiction. Like you said @Elmgrovegnome USFL like.

The “W”….
