A recent Washington Post-Schar School poll indicates that the acceptance of the Commanders' team name has risen notably among D.C.-area adults, with 50% now expressing a favorable view, compared to only 34% last year. Despite a significant portion of residents (36%) still disliking the name, team merchandise sales surged by 163% over the past year. Franchise owner Harris confirmed commitment to the name, suggesting cultural integration within the team, while fan sentiments showcase a mixed but increasingly positive reception toward the Commanders brand.
According to a Washington Post-Schar School poll, half of all D.C.-area adults now 'like' or 'love' the team's name, up from 34 percent a year ago.
About a third of area residents do not like the name (36 percent), with 9 percent saying they 'hate' it.
Team merchandise sales through retail giant Fanatics from April 1, 2024, through the end of March were up 163 percent, according to a team spokesperson.
I think it's now being embraced by our team, by our culture, by our coaching staff, and so we're going with that.”
