As dew said, I came up with an idea that I thought would be a good compromise for both sides of the argument. I have to say first that I think the team names are a cornerstone of this league and not only provide a sense of continuity and organization, but also professionalism. Yes, I do take this league rather seriously when I&#039;m playing. When I was just a player, it took up just about 6 months of my year. It takes up a lot more than that now. All I have to do is mention SICL and that should be enough of an explanation as to why I&#039;m against this; how many seasons of that league were actually finished? One? The names are extremely stupid, I couldn&#039;t take that even remotely seriously if I tried. I&#039;ve seen a much greater sense of commitment (as far as a video games go) from players around the league since the franchise era and since we adopted these names. I&#039;m not saying it&#039;s the one and only reason for that, but I believe it has something to do with it.<br /><br />On the other hand, I&#039;m not a huge fan of some of the names we have.<br /><br />On to my idea, I propose that we create a pool of names each season for captains to choose from. My idea entails keeping the 12 names we have, but adding 8 new ones to form a pool of 20 possible team names. This is how it would work: returning captains get first choice as to whether or not they&#039;d like to keep their current team name. If they don&#039;t, they can choose a new one. Then, new caps could either 1) get to choose as they are confirmed as captains, or 2) announce their decision along with their first draft pick. As far as the new names, I&#039;ve seen some really great ones on here already, such as SR49ers, and MOON DOLPHINS (the best). New names could potentially be taken from some more of your suggestions.
