I would echo the sentiments that now would be the optimal time to make a change. We changed our name after our rookie season from PC (Prosthetic Cougars) Robots to Las Pumas--our school mascot is the cougar, an animal never once found in the state of Indiana.

The team chose to make the change and I cautioned them at the time to choose wisely (shades of Indy Jones 3) because they will have to live with it for a long, long time. While I am sure it has happened more than once, an annual name change would give the feel of wishy-washiness.

Your current name and logo are appealing, yet I can see the allure of Ninjaneers. For what it's worth, when we switched to Las Pumas, my big name ideas were either the Grease Monkeys or Bad Wolf Robotics--neither of which had anything to do with my school corporation.

It's like marriage; make sure you can stand the name five years down the road.
