Cringe name.
Sounds like an XFL team or youth travel ball team.

So...

What do you call a Washington football player who dates a Kansas City cheerleader?

A Commander in Chief! 8-)

They changed the name because they felt it was disrespectful to indigenous people.

So they change it to a name of people who killed indigenous people. How is that a win?

It actually stands for

COMMunistsAND EqualRightsSoldiers

The "W" on the helmet, of course, stands for "woke."

I'm guessing nobody in the marketing departments read/watch "The Handmaid's Tale"

Don't really care what other teams choose to name themselves.
The former name, while traditional, was horrid and beyond archaic. Just never looked like an "honor" to any Indigenous People. Just like watching drunk hoards do the Tomahawk Chop @ GEHA or Arrowhead is comical and drones on while watching from home.

While Battalion/Brigade/Armada would've been cooler of a name, I think the unis kept the Burgundy and Gold--which was their intent to start with, the fact that they're one of the first teams to take advantage of the rule of having a 3rd helmet is pretty cool. I see other teams having a third uniform to sprinkle in more often.
Too bad we don't get to play the Commies (lol) this coming season in the regular season...
