Team owner Dan Snyder announced today the Washington football team will be known as the Washington Commanders.
On Sunday Jonathan Allen, a defensive tackle for the Commanders, will wear the new uniform when he plays in the Pro Bowl. He said “The name Commanders is going to mean something special to everybody in the community. We’re going to uphold the legacy.”
In a Patch.com survey of 1,027 Washington football fans, the name Commanders came in third place with 18.1% of the vote. The top vote-getter was the Red Hogs with 37.4% of the vote. Of course team owner Dan Snyder has never cared about the fans.
