ShinyHubCaps Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 My vote is for Sun, but they all essentially suck.Although I invisioned a team named the New York Liberty before there was a WNBA.
OnWis97 Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Sky is bad, but Sun drives me nuts because it is a sponsor name. That and Sun is more of a southern team name.

Tazz013 Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 I have to go with Fever or Mercury. Save the slugalo.
JohnnyFriedRice Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Sky is bad, but Sun drives me nuts because it is a sponsor name. That and Sun is more of a southern team name. It's the owner's name.
Audiodrama Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Sky is bad, but Sun drives me nuts because it is a sponsor name. That and Sun is more of a southern team name. It's the owner's name.Yep...the Connecticut Sun are owned by the Mohegan Sun casino in Uncasville, CT (the same place the team plays their home games). Here, you can see where the team got their logo...Mohegan Sun:Connecticut Sun:
Dilbert Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 My least favorite is CometsMy favorite was the Sol Signature intentionally left blank
whitedawg22 Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 What about the Starzz? oh ,my god ,i strong recommend you to have a visit on the website ,or if i'm the president ,i would have an barceque with the anthor of the articel .
SmoothieX Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 I'd say most of the Knicks belong in the WNBA.
OnWis97 Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Sky is bad, but Sun drives me nuts because it is a sponsor name. That and Sun is more of a southern team name. It's the owner's name. I am aware of that, but it is still named after a corporation. I am glad the Chicago Tribune did not rename the Cubs in that fashion...

DEAD! Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 I'd say most of the Knicks belong in the WNBA. I know the Knicks need fixing and all but..... I saw, I came, I left.
StormSurge Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 Sky is bad, but Sun drives me nuts because it is a sponsor name. That and Sun is more of a southern team name. It's the owner's name.Yep...the Connecticut Sun are owned by the Mohegan Sun casino in Uncasville, CT (the same place the team plays their home games). Here, you can see where the team got their logo...Mohegan Sun:Connecticut Sun: They're actually owned by the Mohegan Tribe, who also happens to own the casino. The basketball team is one large marketing tool.BTW, the early word on the Adidas redesign of the Sun jerseys are "hideous".
Cyclopsis Joe Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 I always hated..what was it, the Starzzzzzzz? I don't speak for democrats, democrats don't speak for me.
notkirkcameron Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 Sky is bad, but Sun drives me nuts because it is a sponsor name. That and Sun is more of a southern team name. It's the owner's name. I am aware of that, but it is still named after a corporation. Kind of like the Green Bay Packers, eh?
OnWis97 Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 This just sucks. It's pretty awful. Why not just name the team grass or topsoil?Naming the CT team after a casino (regardless of the fact that both have the same owner) just bugs me and not because it is a casino, but because, as said by someone said above, it's part of the marketing of that business. But I can't dispute the Sky--it's bad.The biggest problem is that nobody will take the name of a team that exists anywhere. I'd rather the WNBA teams be called the Falcons, Tigers and Eagles than Mercury, Sol and Sky.

OnWis97 Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 None of them are good. They're too trendy. I think Comets is a decent name. Monarchs is alright, I guess.Lynx is tolorable, though I prefer names to end in "s"Part of me thinks I should like Rockers--It ends in "s" and references something in the City, but it is too cheesy.
