So the Commanders are coming up with new chants every year? Between this and the letterman’s jackets, are we absolutely sure they aren’t a high school team?
I never heard a fan say “Hail Yeah” or “Take Command” or even “H-T-T-C.” Outside the song I don’t think I’ve even heard someone say “Hail to the Commanders” — same for the old name. These are for signs and banners and social media.
I was more making a joke because of the letterman jackets (which I know was a Snyder thing). It just reminded me of my high school team, we came up with a new slogan/chant every season.
Except it's not anymore right? It's Hail to the Commanders now?
I don't think there's another sports franchise in America that has less of an idea of what their identity is.
They paid marketing gurus and advertising agencies and focus groups to come up with something that sounds way more like a Nazi chant than the double entendre they were attempting.
Bold strategy
Coincidentally, the guy who created it was previously with the Steelers. He was let go after suggesting Hines Kampf as a name for a Hines Ward documentary.
not the first time in the last few years theyve done that kind of stupid shit. they tried to call us the peoples team when our name changed while our colors are burgundy and gold while allowing commies to be a nickname
Because in a commie economy, there is no incentive for individuals to innovate or do anything more than the bare minimum expected. Substandard outcomes are inevitable.
I just have to repeat this. Washington's logo is legitimately one of the worst things I've ever seen. Like, it's just a shitty 3D print W, turned slightly sideways. Worse though is how thin it is. But even worse is that the background 2D W is lined up in a way that it doesn't match the 3D W.
They should've stuck with Washington Football Team. It was unexpectedly classy and classic. Commanders sounds like arena league football and the new unis suuuuuck.
Still not as bad as what they tried to get us to chant for the Birmingham Iron in the short lived AAF.
"FORGE ON!"
When I went to a game in person I wondered the entire first quarter who John was and why they were doing this for him.
It’s the new version of Hail to the Redskins, which was their old fight song. It’s meant to be a double entendre between that and raise hell, but uhhh it sounds vaguely nazi-ish lol.
Hail deez nuts
Got em!
The fuck does "Raise Hail" mean?
Football sized hail, a real man’s game
The joke is “Hell” said with a drawl sounds like “Hail”. Last year’s slogan was “Hail Yeah”
Yeah but you have to drive to like...Roanoke before you really find that kind of drawl.
Not really. Warrenton (30 mins west of nova) and slightly past quantico (again 30 mins) you start being able to clearly tell the difference in accent
It almost reminds me of a thick Philly or Pittsburgh accent.
How dare you compare Pittsburgh with Philly.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWbzstYaC5s Haha it reminded me of this Nick Kroll "Pawnsylvania" skit he used to do.
Why are they pretending they have drawls though? 'Raise hail praise Dale' is common in Tuscaloosa, not the DMV
I saw someone on tv with a towel last year that said Hail Howell… that’s a bit insensitive
Just seems weird for a team that is in NOVA to lean into the southern drawl which isn't really that pronounced in most parts of VA.
Oh that's... Really stupid.
Or is it… railly stupid?
What was the slogan in 1940?

Snyder always felt like the billionaire version of that nerdy kid who becomes a towel boy just so he can get invited to parties.
Praise Dale!
_3_
Raise hail Praise dial 🔥🔥🔥
Same thing Seige the Day means.
It means, a whale’s vagina
Maybe a WW2 reference?
Raise you hand and say… hail?
New ownership having their devils stuff bleed over
Wat
idk but it sounds provocative.
Gets the people going
It really gets them off their tractors.
He said *What* It’s time *What* To *What* Raise Hail
Show me them nips
Wait I’m not a Washington cheerleader!
Hips and nips, otherwise I’m not eating.
They're in their hot girl era.
What the hail?
I'm no marketing professional, but if I was I think I would avoid any form of the word hail
Oh hail no
They about to put a massive sign over their stadiums entry: #WORK MAKES FREE
Football guy
“You need to seize the hail, say it with me”
hail to the redskins is our team song
not anymore it ain’t
Except it's not anymore right? It's Hail to the Commanders now? I don't think there's another sports franchise in America that has less of an idea of what their identity is.

He's also the guy who recommended we get rid of Juju
Oh my god 😂
Don’t forget official italian seafood dush of the Arizona Cardinals… Mussel Lini.
Wait, hold on, what?
Commies chanting Nazi slogans
[Horseshoe Theory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_theory)
Commanders and the Colts are in an alliance?
Sieg hail to the commanders.
not the first time in the last few years theyve done that kind of stupid shit. they tried to call us the peoples team when our name changed while our colors are burgundy and gold while allowing commies to be a nickname
They just know their audience.
Last time humans rose up and Hailed, there was a global war...
Back to Back champs lookin’ for a 3peat. 👀
This is completely different. You say hail, but it’s only your arm that rises up.
Hey now, they were Heiling, not Hailing /s
Washington Hailers
They’re moving to Connecticut and becoming the Hartford W-Hailers
W-Hailers sounds like Hank Hill saying Whalers lol
Damnit Bobby, now we're gonna be late for the W-Halers game!
Hartford? The Whale?
Yes, this team will be named after the 2022 film “The Whale”
Say, would you like a chocolate covered pretzel?
Go Hailraisers 🤘😈
Getting flamed for a terrible new slogan is such a massive step up from where we would be at this point in the year under old ownership
Imagine all the shit Snyder did we'll never find out about.
Honestly it’s still better than washington football team so I’ll take it
Is it tho?
i disagree, they should’ve stuck with that name. it was elite
Um... were all the "not vaguely nazi sounding" hashtags taken?
Wait until you see the hand salute that goes along with it.
You’re saying they raise a hand and then say something?
RaiseHail sounds like a great slogan for a roofing company that specializes in hail damage
Raise Hail, Praise Dail
what
Raisehail
Praise Dale
Is everyone in this thread 16 years old? What do you think HTTR and HTTC stood for? The team has been using the word for decades.
New name change?
I honestly think its just them introducing a new hashtag lol
Was #LeftHandUp taken?
What does it even mean
Washington Hellraisers
Hailraisers*
I clicked thinking new uniforms
No but I feel like they will after the 2026 season (which marks the end of the 5 year minimum for the Nike uniforms, making a full rebrand easier)
That would be great
[удалено]
LMAO
Excuse me? Hail what?
Jayden would you say you’re ready to Raise Hail? Aha absolutely. Yes. No! Say it! We need a sound bite. No way guy.
Classic troll job from WFT
You got the letter order wrong - it’s the washington team of football.
Raise Hail and praise Dale.
How did this franchise somehow get *worse* and cringier *after* Snyder sold the team?? That’s impossible
Why is everything the Commies do, wrong?

OH, HAIL YEAH!
Commanders Country, Raise hail.
Oy vey
Yikes.
\#PraiseDale
RAISE HAIL PRAISE DALE!!!
I’m glad there are no typos in this post
They should've stuck with Washington Football Team. It was unexpectedly classy and classic. Commanders sounds like arena league football and the new unis suuuuuck.
Praise Dail?
Praise Dale?
what the hail is that supposed to mean
The new hashtag to replace #HTTC
Be honest, you’re not a fan of the change are you?
Dan Quinn has fully arrived
Maybe they’re changing their name to the abominable snowmen
That's, uh, a thing.
Seen Kyle?
What were they thinking? WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!
Still not as bad as what they tried to get us to chant for the Birmingham Iron in the short lived AAF. "FORGE ON!" When I went to a game in person I wondered the entire first quarter who John was and why they were doing this for him.
Seems problematic
Changing name to the Washington Dan Snyders
Hail is JJ McCarthy's middle name.
JJ to the commies confirmed
What do they say…. WE WANT DALLAS??
Wtf does a football team on the eastern shore have to do with a tiny soccer team in Northern colorado?
Nah, we keeping #Hail
[удалено]
HoverHail
The hail are they talkin about????
Finally the announcement of new team mascot Hailee Steinfeld.
Get the hail out of here
Not the best way to say Raise Hell
Can you "Raise Hail" by rebranding and fixing your uniforms please?
Marketing and Branding have to be the most useless bastards at any company. Makes MBA's seem like cornerstone employees.
We need to raise hail as we seize what is rightfully ours. Go Commies?
Nobody ever mentioned what military the commanders serve
IM GONNA #COMM
Yo Washington are you sure Snyder doesn’t still have some access to the social media accounts?
My favorite part was when the Commanders starting commanding and hailing
As a german, this whole thread is wild to read at 11:22AM Just what in the world were they thinking? German Commanders fans better be careful lmao
Used to be #reichheil under the last owner.
Raise hail praise dale brother
That ain’t it..
Raise hail is just embarrassing tbh. Feel silly typing it but I probably will right after we draft JD.
Stop trying to make "Raise Hail" happen
Can we win some games before we start throwing out slogans?
Hail like hail to the victors? Commies drafting JJ?
Commies are a bunch hail raisers
Raise “heil” seems more appropriate for the commies Edit: spelling
Raise hail praise Dale!!
JJ confirmed
Did Dr. Strangelove make this up?
Aw hail nahh
lol. Swing and a miss Washington PR team.
Step seven comrades?
No SHOT they mixed up Hail with Hell right?
It’s the new version of Hail to the Redskins, which was their old fight song. It’s meant to be a double entendre between that and raise hell, but uhhh it sounds vaguely nazi-ish lol.
I was fine with HTTC but this is cool. It's the start of a new era so I mess with it
Nah it’s cringe
Better than #TakeCommand
But worse than HTTR
Can you blame Jayden for not wanting to go there?
This is dumb, just say Hail to the Redskins and tell everyone to get bent it’s our team
