Claystation360 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Jacksonville was never going to be the sharks, that was a old WFL team from the 70's they were the "Jaguars" from 1991 about the time expansion was announced , But there was a option for "Panthers" I believe . but Carolina got it first . #DTWD #GoJaguars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJ Sands Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 At the time, I did a trademark search, and the NFL trademarked:VipersTornadosPioneersTraditionFuryWolvesCommandersPresidentsand Titans.All of them as "Tennessee" Tennessee Vipers sounds really cool. I always use Vipers when I relocate a team in Madden and need a new name.(500th post!!! Woo Hoo!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The group that got the team trademarked Jacksonville Sharks the same day they trademarked Jacksonville Jaguars, in 1991, I'm guessing at the beginning of their effort to land a team. They probably just wanted to cover all the bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkdesign Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I think one of the names was Pioneers. I think.I'm an idiot. You are right. I know you are right because I always say that Pioneers would have been my choice. "I'm sorry, I was trying to impress you. I don't know what it means. I'll be honest, I don't think anyone knows what it means anymore. Scholars maintain that the translation was lost hundreds of years ago."
