Re: Team Names, Marketing, and Funny Name Stuff

There is huge value in finding a name and sticking with it. Some teams become known by their name, others by their number - you never know what will stick with others. This applies to other teams, the community, maybe even the judges..

Remember, you should always be marketing your team.

There is also a cost benefit to staying constant. Shirts, banners and other items can be carried over year to year.

You want to be recognizeable, and sometimes in the pressure of a draft a team might get picked mainly because the drafting person remembers a team name and some particular thing about them. If you cange that every year, it might be tough to be remembered.


With all that, there might be times where it could be good to re-invent. If there is a lot of bad baggage or a reason to "forget" the old - maybe a fresh name and fresh start is a good thing.
