Re: Team Names, Marketing, and Funny Name Stuff

14 years ago, when our team started, the school was Avondale high school, who were the Yellow Jackets. Naming the FIRST team the Killer Bees just made sense. Soon enough they joined with my high school, Notre Dame Prep, and eventually we took them over. We are the Fighting Irish, which has nothing to do with a bee. We get a lot of questions about it and a lot of pressure from our school to change it, but we refuse.
We are the Killer Bees, now and forever. Everything we have is evident of that. As a lot of other people have told you, establishing a brand is extremely important, especially with numbers now in the 3000's. A good brand will leave a mark on everyone, especially the people you play with. In alliance selection it's extremely important to stick out. You have a whole program based of the name, I really think you should stick with it.
