6 possible new names for the Washington Commanders if they change it (again), according to Twitter

As Yogi Berra reportedly said, It’s deja vu all over again.

The Washington Commanders JUST changed their name a year ago, and thank goodness they did. But there hasn’t been a ton of enthusiasm about that name, either.

And now that the NFL franchise has new owners in Josh Harris, Magic Johnson and others, there’s some buzz — per ESPN’s Don Van Natta Jr. — that “there’s a reasonable chance the team will be rebranded.”

When could it happen? Not so fast, as he points out. They can’t just ditch their name and uniforms with under a couple of months to go until the 2023 season.

But if that does happen? There are a ton of suggestions for what it should be:

Yes it’s accurate that I believe there’s a reasonable chance the team will be rebranded. But it won’t happen until after this season, at the earliest.

Washington Football Team

Why not go back to the one that was the name before it? IT WAS THE BEST! It sounded like a soccer team.

I also think there is something here with this “Washington Redtails” concept by @CfieldsVFL / @Commanders #NFLTwitter pic.twitter.com/RJhJvasPZW
