Скачать или смотреть Washington Commanders Name Reveal 2.2.22

After weeks of speculation, and a two-year journey to choosing a new name, Washington officially has a new team to root for. Say hello to the Washington Commanders.

Team President Jason Wright announced the new name and unveiled new branding Wednesday morning. Washington retired the name it had played under since 1933 in July 2020 following pressure from corporate sponsors, despite after activist groups, including the National Congress of American Indians, pushing for change for decades.


In 2013, Snyder famously told USA Today in an interview, "We will never change the name of the team ... NEVER — you can use caps." But after Nike pulled all team gear from its shelves and FedEx, the named sponsor of the stadium where WFT plays, asked for a name change, the search for a new identity began.


Washington included fans on the journey, calling for name and logo ideas on an immersive site called WashingtonJourney.com WFT said they received over 40,000 submissions, ranging from the Washington Owls to the DC Power, and even just Washington.
