Commanders hire Adam Peters to be new GM (5 year deal)


Recommended Posts

When the gear isn't being bought with current name on the front, they will start to care. I guarantee, you give the fans a name they can get behind, the merchandise will start flying off the shelves.

We soooooooo shoulda stayed w/ Washington Football Team . Then we could still have the Spear and/ or the Feathers .. If "they" want to complain about the symbolism- Then so be it .. 

Haven't heard the name "Howlers" . Not sure I like it - Better than the Cs . but could use the wolf logo .

I was all for staying WFT. It was different and unique to the big sports in America despite its simplicity.

Weird phrasing. Don't even wanna ask what you're getting at.

They have to say this. They have corporate partners (Nike, Fanatics, etc) that they could hurt their businesses if they say they're going to dump the name in a year. They aren't going to tell us they are changing the name until they are really close to changing the name.

I hope it does eventually happen, too late this year but hopefully next year.

Agreed & as @ARTMONK HOF said, hopefully it happens next off-season. They had too much stuff going on this off-season to worry about a new brand/name but I hope next off-season they change it.

No clue who any of these people are, but let the purge continue. 

New blood for a new era.

It reminds me of the purge from the Orioles after Mike Elias took over.  

Lots of young, talented people coming to this organization for promotions from their current roles.  It is a direct contrast to us hiring retreads who were let go from their previous positions and going back in the ranks.

I wouldn’t buy a Nike jersey right now for football after the debacle of the ‘new’ MLB ones
