I had grown to accept Football Team, but thought Commanders was dumb. They should just go back to WFT, though I will miss calling them the Commies.

The WFT colors/logo were similar enough that chud assholes just pretended it was still the Slurs name.

The 'Commanders' aren't much better, but at least they have black and yellow to differentiate. The current uniforms look like cheap college poo poo.

Was that not okay? Was it the worst thing in the world for that franchise not to actively stick its finger in the eye of its longsuffering fans in that one small, specific way?

The colors are good. Burgundy is a beautiful and relatively unique base color for a team. There are a lot of teams with red or maroon as a base color, but burgundy is a different color: more rich and purply-red and done right it is simply better. And gold is a good accent color for burgundy.

The colors are the only thing they should keep. Dump the owner, the name, the stadium, the coaches, all of it. Keep the burgundy.

DC is neither "standard" nor "sterile." Of all the insults you could level at the city, those are among the least sensible.

for the district itself? the half smoke. mumbo sauce too. more generally, Ethiopian, Salvadorian, and Afghan food, because a lot of refugees in the area. not saying half smokes are great but there's a whole lot of culture here that has nothing to do with the legislature that the city doesn't even get a voice in

I haven’t been to Ben’s Chili Bowl in probably five years, maybe longer, but I went to their new (at the time) Arlington location and they had Bill Cosby up there really big on the wall. IIRC this was right around when the bad news about him was coming out and it seemed to me like they were standing by him, or maybe just didn’t have the heart to cover up the mural they’d just spent a bunch of money on. Anyway I wonder if they’ve still got his pictures up there.

New name for the team: Washington Cosby Loyalists

DC's signature dish is a hot dog sold out of a trailer in front of the Air and Space Museum where you have to selectively ignore the fact that the guy that just sold it to you has a piss bucket next to the hot dogs and you eat it without trying to make eye contact with a guy trying to tell you how the Chinese made hot dogs out of Falun Gong practitioners.

Not sure how to put this on a shirt

DC doesn't have a signature dish. There, I said it. It was a small city for much of its history, and now that it has reached a level of affluence, it is overwhelmed by transplants of the most insufferable variety. Which is to say, if DC had an identity, it has long since been diluted by gentrification. This isn't unique to DC: compare times square in the 1980s to its current Disney theme park incarnation, for example.

Anyways, I don't care if I'm boring: WFT is fine. "Commanders" is just awful.

I think a lot of people have no idea how drat small DC was before WWI and still small before WWII. Even the entire metro area was much smaller. Fairfax County alone has more people now than the entire region did in 1940.
