@SilentNightFolk @RyanWetzelMT @Commanders @NFL So we’d be honoring a species of bird already mascotted by the league? Which Native populations revere the hawk? Plains, Alaskan, Seminole? The image of a single Native man to rep all Natives for football? Make it make sense.

@RyanWetzelMT @Commanders @NFL Is the logo gone forever? This is a topic I have a lot of option, despite it slowly fading. I'd like to think you're still working with the team and possibly bringing back the logo and a name like Redtails. Honoring the Red-tailed Hawk which is revered across NA populations.

The greatest logo of all time. #BlackieWetzel #Thelogo #GreatAmericanIndianWarrior #WashingtonFootball #RFKStadium @Commanders @NFL

@PowerBoater69 @TalkNats When you frequently see the same seats listed, it looks suspicious. If you could afford to buy those seats as a STH, why would you keep taking the losses on resale? Not just the Nats specifically, but all of the big four sports.

@Return2RFK @TalkNats Resale sites mirror listings on other sites, so if you list your tickets they will relist them on other sites. But if you look for tickets in popular areas, like behind the dugouts, you are buying them from other fans.

The one thing #Nats fans should do is pack #Nats Park on Friday for the home Opening Day against the Dodgers. There are lower level tickets still available!

@TalkNats @PowerBoater69 I discovered the mirrored listings from the football team in Landover. The same seats would appear on multiple sites, week after week. Started to realized that no ticket holding customer would take losses like that year after year. Then the WaPo did an expose in 2009.

@PowerBoater69 @Return2RFK When they are the same prices in 12 seats you can tell.

@TalkNats @PowerBoater69 In all major sports. Most of the seats on StubHub, SeatGeek, etc. never leave possession of the team ticket office until the consumer purchases. The listing all over the web are mirrored.

@Return2RFK @PowerBoater69 Nearly all? Come on.

@PowerBoater69 @TalkNats in reality, they’ve had dynamic pricing for years. It’s called the secondary market where nearly all of the listings actually belong to the team.

@TalkNats They have dynamic pricing, my ticket rep said that it is new this year. Prices are going up, everyone wants to see the new kid. Plus the weather will be nice, it will be packed.

@1067theFan So we’re suddenly adding an extra 10k bad seats. Great.

Sounds like the Commanders are aiming for RFK 2.0 to have around 75,000 seats, making it compatible for future events such as the Final Four.

@matthew_peirson Best upper deck since OPCY.

And it's not. even. close. SF has the view, SD has the food and vibes. But if you want the best of all worlds at a baseball game--sightlines, seating angles, views, food, proximity even in upper level, it's Pittsburgh. It's always Pittsburgh. (And I love SD and SF, to be clear)

@DaveBroadie Yet here you are.

Kevin is spot on here. It's impossible to post thoughts, opinions and ideas on what any potential new logo should or could be without being ridiculed and called a racist. I'm so over this fan base.

@FB_Helmet_Guy What about “honoring” Natives with the tomahawk? Are we just gonna surrender racist stereotyping to sell new merch?

New Braves City Connect uniforms. 👍👎?

@TBZmoneymike301 Not bringing back the feathers keeps the convo going.

Soooo is he admitting he just keeps talking about it because of the views and downloads he gets from it?

@dc_dummies I love it. Make it happen @Markein

I hope this is the new helmet. Cos I’m here for the chaos.

@DouglasTS Is that an AI file photo? I don’t recognize that uni.

one tweet that proves FBS is de facto two separate divisions already

@434DefensePod The ACC championship = tarped off seats.

Idk if this is a hot take, but the ACC Championship game should move to DC the moment new-RFK Stadium opens

@team980 Kevin is correct. Nike figured this out long ago. People care about imagery.

Kevin rants on a listener wanting him to drop the name change topic.

@EarlForcey You’ve been drinking “new” Coke since 1985. The only change was the packaging and label, twice. Same as us.

The #Commanders uniforms being changed back to the way they were is great (should have never switched from the WFT unis they wore for a season). But it’s also like putting New Coke in a Classic Coke bottle - it just isn’t the same… #RaiseHail 🏈

@1067theFan An owner that doesn’t view media as the enemy is a luxury for us.

Remember when this place was chaos? Now, it's a whole different vibe. An owner and GM are actually talking. It's just… normal. That's the real change we're seeing. #TeamVibes #BehindTheScenes #OrganizationalChange #SportsBusiness #FreshStart

@FLATLINEent06 @DaveBroadie @NFL 5 championships, not just 3.

@Return2RFK @DaveBroadie It’s a great thing that other historic @NFL franchises don’t have this kind of mindset, especially those who have multiple Super Bowl championships! #HTTR

My best guess: This will be the new primary logo. And the throwback spear logo will go on the updated black alt uniforms.

@OneBillPhil @DaveBroadie Closet the toy headdress and wipe off your red face paint. It’s over.

@Return2RFK @DaveBroadie Fuck you pal.

@MicahALucas @john_keim @BurgundyBurner Free land. No property taxes. Lots of corporate socialism. The only way these get built.

@Return2RFK @john_keim @BurgundyBurner The stadium is being built by 100% private money from the team and the NFL. Public Money is only going to infrastructure improvements including green spaces, better metro access, and new outdoor areas for children and adults. This is the best deal any city has gotten.

Josh Harris also said there are no plans anytime soon to move the practice facility. They have invested a lot of $$ to improve the place and the team likes training in that area.

@BarredinDC As long as developers continue lobby for auto friendly zoning near the rail stops instead of density, it too will fail.
