Luke_Groundrunner Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 PRO Rugby was launched last November and began play last month (April 2016) with 5 franchises for which they are currently accepting name submissions from the public.

Nyk33 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 At least they look better than MLS's first jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Victim of their times. If this group had tried to start their rugby league in 1996, I'm sure they'd all look like harlequins too.

stumpygremlin Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 They should call the Sacramento team the Steamers, and move it to Cleveland... (don't look up the reference, it's NSFW) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sykotyk Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 According to them, these were suggestions from fans and they'd take the top few. Sacramento's are garbage, though. Ohio's not much better. Presidents or Aviators. I'm not a fan of collective nouns. The worst would be the San Francisco Miners. Yeah, that won't be confusing during every day conversation.

MJWalker45 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 What company is making the kits? I don't recognize the logo. Ohio has decent options but do they have logos on standby for these or will we be looking at generic team names and possibly a sponsor on these?

burgundy Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Aviators is the only acceptable name for Ohio. Presidents is just silly, and Flight is pure crap. EDIT: Aviators has 59% of the vote, Flight has 32%, and Presidents has 9%. Let's hope it stays that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do more cycling and triathlon work. http://champ-sys.com/index.php Not to be confused with Berkshire Hathaway's Champion USA, who did the old Notre Dame football unis.

Firefly Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I actually like the name Denver Peak. No matter who is on the team, they'll be Peak athletes. And Breakers sounds best for Sand Diego. Was that the name of the pro football team on Coach in its last seasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panthers_2012 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I hope Ohio doesn't call their team the Presidents. The other two choice would be fine by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Ohio claims eight US presidents so it makes sense. I'd go with Aviators though due to Eddie Rickenbacker and the Wright Brothers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSU151 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Why Denver Vipers? Denver Peak is garbage, too. Denver Stampede wins by default. I like how it's some western teams...and Ohio. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
