Commanders’ trademark application is denied. This could lead to a name change

Some have wondered whether the new owner of the Washington Commanders will change the team’s name. Again.
The new owner might have no choice. Via trademark attorney Josh Gerben on Twitter, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has denied the trademark application for the name “Commanders.”
The reason for the denial was: (1) the existence of a trademark for “Commanders’ Classic”; and (2) pending applications filed by a man in the D.C. area.
The Commanders’ Classic is the name of the annual college football game between Army and Air Force. Also, Martin McCaulay filed trademarks for “Washington Space Commanders” and “Washington Wolf Commanders,” at a time when he was trying to squat on the team’s potential new name.

How about Redskins?

Why not just call them the Redskins?
Posted on 5/24/23 at 1:06 pm to RLDSC FAN
Redskins is available.

I sort of started to like Washington Football Team and wouldn't mind them going back to it.

If not Redskins just go with Hogs. It’s not that complicated. Redskins preferably though.

Didn't they lose the trademark on that as well?
Anyway, the Commanders name was poorly thought out. It only took a few seconds to see that we now have a red team in our nation's capital called the Commies. It was so dumb that I almost think it was done on purpose

I outwardly grew to like WFT and they should go back

South Park had a whole (hilarious) episode on them losing the trademark.

So much better than the current Commies name

I also liked the football team name

Let's change those awful uniforms too.

I think the new owners are going to change the name. I would have kept the Washington Football Team name and look. Better than Commanders or Hogs or RedTails or whatever else people wanted.

Washingon Football Team was pretty dumb. I don't even understand why fans liked the simplistic shite of it. It was comedy at first. Washington Redwolves was my original favorite.

Find some tribes willing to endorse the name in exchange for an ownership stake.

Wasn't there an issue with using 'red' in the name?
