I'm trying not to make the decision for them (the team is split) but I'd like some feedback from others on pros and cons.

Personally, when I saw that team name, I thought it was one of the coolest ever. That said, considering the source (me), that is probably not the best endorsement for the name.
I think it is very silly with a lot of fun potential.
FRC 1477 out of the Woodlands, Texas, changed their name a few years back to Texas Torque. It has been a very positive change for them as they travel down the road towards successful achievements and recognition.
Good luck to you and the team with your decision. Please let us know what you decide.
Now I have to go meditate on this whole discussion. (It was Al's comment about 111 and bowling shirts that did me in.)
