The Flyers are a team that got locked out of its stadium because it owed the city over a million dollars and showed no interest in fielding a competitive or marketable operation in the last five years or so. Not really the sort of legacy that cries out to be brought back.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

I'd assume they stiffed a lot of sponsors too. Might be a good idea to leave that name dead.

You manage to balance agitation with just enough salient points to keep things interesting. Kind of a low-rent DG_Now.

I just got a response back from them.

Thank you for your participation in the Schaumburg Name the Team Contest! Your suggestion will be taken into consideration.

Sincerely,

Name the Team Committee

A bit impersonal, I'm kind of disappointed.

I lived there as well - from '97 through '98...not really a lot there...the Flyers were just coming in when we moved, so I never saw a game.

MallRatz might be the best bet.

Well, they do have a very good library.

But "Please welcome YOUR SCHAUMBURG LIBRARIANS!!!!" just doesn't work for some reason.

The Schaumburg Shushers has a certain alliterative charm about it.

Fightin' Librarians?

Deweys?
