Maybe I'm wrong but I thought I remembered reading that the trademark for "Washington Football Team " got rejected for being too generic. There's just no way in hell Snyder or the NFL will be okay with people selling WFT branded poo poo and having no way to sue them.

I grew up a Washington fan and Dan Snyder is such a poo poo human I can’t root for them in good conscience even with the long overdue name change.

The problem with that name is that it doesn't just lend itself to the nickname "Commies", it practically demands it.

Now I really want them to go with that. The chants at away games would be hilarious.

Admirals is a fine name in a vacuum, but I don't see how it works if they keep burgundy/gold color scheme. Washington with navy/white/gold just seems wrong, and two other teams in their division have colors that aren't far off.

They also showed some preview images of the uniforms on Instagram and it featured 4 stars. Which IIRC is the rank insignia for an admiral.

The gold fringe means it’s the Washington Admiralty and it has no jurisdiction on land. I will never set foot in that stadium and have martial law imposed on me :911:

The idea of the team being named the Admirals after they called their secondary “The Pearl Harbor Crew” in the early 80s (Because they constantly got bombed by opposing offenses :laugh:) amuses me.

ehhh, could be better, not as bad as I was expecting though

seems like the thought process was to not do anything about the actual government because people hate the government, then thought of Generals except that was the team the Globetroters beat up on so it's a little too on the nose, then thought 'what's another word for general?' and came up with Admirals.

If each player is an Admiral that's too many Admirals in the Admiralty, so I'm assuming that in reality the players are the boats
