I prefer something not generic
I think with most historical names they've been around as long as we have or longer so they're generally associated with the quality of the team. Patriots/Steelers also generally have an association with the city they're from in addition to having a reputation as quality teams historically. I'm referencing new teams that have come along in the last 20 years or so - I think there's a decline in general in the quality of the name and to be fair part of the issue is trying to be all-inclusive as well as lacking in imagination.

The problem with us is the last 30 years is really gonna erode any short-term confidence in the name - so if we come up with a weak name it's generally gonna be associated with a weak team. Don't fuck it up Dan.
