Despite the return of the old uniforms tonight, the Commanders' name isn't changing. But here's where it gets controversial... While the team will be donning the Super Bowl-era uniforms (minus the helmet logo) from a franchise with a different name, the current name of the franchise will remain the same. Last month, owner Josh Harris made it clear that the team will continue to be known as the Commanders. "We're embracing the Commanders name," Harris said. "A commander is a leader of warriors. We start with the Romans, and then we go to the Native American tribes, and then we go to special forces. . . . We think being in Washington, [we should] embrace people in the service community. . . . We're staying with it." Earlier this year, the Commander-in-Chief called for the Commanders to "IMMEDIATELY" bring back their old name, especially as they prepare to build a new stadium in D.C. But Harris has now been as clear as he can be that it's not happening. So, what's the deal with the name change? Is it a matter of tradition, or is there something more to it? And this is the part most people miss... The team's name has been a source of debate and discussion for years, with some fans and experts arguing that it's time for a change. But others believe that the name has historical and cultural significance, and that changing it could be seen as disrespectful. So, what do you think? Should the Commanders stick to their guns and keep the name, or is it time for a change? We want to hear your thoughts in the comments below!
