Commander PK Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 For clarification, I would also be fine with a Wolf or a Red Wolf mascot. I think it would be a cool way of trying to give the fans a consolation prize. Unfortunately, I'm fairly certain it won't be taken that way at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANONYMOUS SOURCE. Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 A tank would be cool, However they would screw that up too most likely, 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also cant use anything associated with other popular name choices as you would only add fuel to the fire rather than appeasing anybody. Would only make the current situation worse.

Cooleyfan1993 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) I have it on good authority that the fan engagement mascot/fight song launch starts April 4th. Now, will the fans actually be heard on any of this? Who the **** knows (likely not), but just sharing what i know Edited March 24, 2022 by Cooleyfan1993 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan picked the name before he even changed the name. Dan/Tanya has probably already picked the logo and new fight song. Hell, Tanya probably wrote it herself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koolblue13 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I hope they try and do something totally out of left field, like Philly did with Gritty, because it will fail in epic proportions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why wish for more misery? Why not wish for success for the team? I just don’t get it. oh well. You do you i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some may not know it, but the lyrics to the Hail song originally said "fight for old Dixie" and not "fight for old DC." George Preston Marshall was from West Virginia and was a massive racist...he didn't integrate the team until 1962, fifteen years after everyone else did. Not coincidentally, the Skins were easily one of the worst teams in the NFL from 1946-62. The Skins were the southern-most NFL team until the Cowboys pupated...and Marshall viciously fought against the new team in Dallas from even existing because he wanted all the 'Dixie' states to himself.

DCdangerous Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 I think if Washington brings in a new hastag #AlphaCommand, it will show more fluidity to the name Commanders. It can be military theme, but also space theme and also wolf theme. Three marketing fields that are there for the taking. And those who don't want one field can focus more on the other field. I even made three logos for #AlphaCommand. All three show the W intact, and include the three DC flag stars. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
