Emmitt has idea for new name for Commanders

[Boyzmamacita]

I say just call them the Stinks, but here is Emmitt's take. Sorry if repost, this is my first time seeing it.

“I think it’s unfortunate because Daniel Snyder bought the Commanders because of the Commanders value and the Commanders brand,” Smith told Sporting News. “Now you take that from him, it’s gonna be very tough because he loses some of that value.

“But if he can just drop the Red and keep the Skins, I think that part would suffice. Drop the Red and keep the Skins, keep the Indian logo and keep it moving, make the adjustment. You don’t have to change the colors. People know them as the ‘Skins anyway. The brand has been completely established; don’t lose it all trying to fight the overall battle. Take the one thing that will make you successful and that part is the ‘Skins and no one can question that.”

Something says Smith could be wrong on that final point. It will be questioned, as will everything that has to do with this naming controversy, from now until who knows when.

How about the Washington Rainbow Skins. It either pisses off everybody, or encompasses everybody in a feel good Kumbaya campfire song thing.

 

[Sportsbabe]

I've always been partial to Deadskins ... but that's just me
Good suggestion Emmitt.

 

[DoctorChicken]

How about the Washington Snuggle Britches

 

[Outlaw Heroes]

Don't see Emmitt's suggestion coming close to pacifying the critics, but whatever.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

How about the Hogs or Fat Pig Ladies since they still wear that mess?

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Well, my opinion is exactly opposite of many, I'm sure. I actually don't believe Snyder is going to be forced to change the name any time soon.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

How about the Washington First Americans? That would be a cool gesture, in my opinion.

They have never shied away from calling themselves "The Hogs" God only knows why, I think it's a ridiculous identity to attach to your team. This could be their new logo for their helmets. Of course we could have a field day with this.

Or the Natives. Nationals in baseball. Natives in football. It could work.

[Cincycowboy]

How about the "Savage Indians"? At least they wuld feel better about the old name

 

[Sportsbabe]

Or, we could bring back that old classic the Washington Foreskins.
I love Washington week

 

[JD_KaPow]

The Washington Embarrassments. Still captures the idea of red skin.

The whole thing is stupid.

But just change it to the Pigskins, and be done with it.

Pigskins?

 

[Phoenix]

I know right? I mean, WASHINGTON? They're not even in DC ha ha.

Potomac Basin Indigenous Native Americans

This is one area that I stand 100% behind Daniel Snyder, the Skins organization, their fans and the Native Americans that support the Commanders' name. PC is killing normal discourse between humans. Some people need to just get the hell over it and move on.

That was the name I was thinking of too.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!
