Why didn’t Dan Snyder rename his team the bandits or outlaws?

He obviously didn’t want to get rid of redskins (he was right btw). IMHO he missed a great opportunity to troll the politicians and crybabies who made him change. The Washington Bandits or the DC Outlaws sounds good and is an accurate representation of the host city.

I always felt the other route of changing the logo to a potato leaving the Redskins name would have been perfect.

I'm over the name, but miss those beautiful uniforms.

Wish they had kept these with the new logo in the helmet circle.

He thought by bowing to the mob, they'd somehow let him keep them.

He didn't play hardball enough. Now he has to buy tickets to see them play just like everybody else.

"Commanders" is the most boring generic nickname in sports. The Cleveland Indians did no better with "Guardians". Absolutely meaningless names. Its a rare opportunity for a marketing exec to rename/name a sports team from one of the big 3 leagues. And they just pissed these opportunities away. Sad

I thought it would have been nice if they had used the opportunity to highlight their historic rivalry w/ the Vikings by setting up for a Vikings vs. Savages game.

I actually thought Washington Football Team was a great name.

Because the Outlaws or Bandits sounds like it comes from a cheesy low budget football movie....or anyone of the iterations of an alternative football league
