Well, as a spinoff of the thread with updated possibilities, have your say: What should be the nickname of the team? a mod can merge this, but it couldn't be added to the thread i believe.
Although I would like Red Bulls; I'm more inclined to wait till the uni's take effect. Reld Bulls gone hoopy?
I'd prefer nicknames that just grow out of people knowing what the damn thing is. I would love for people to just say. You goin' to FC on Saturday? or You goin' to 96? Something will catch on. And hopefully its not toros. Now for some advertising. I suggest two very lovely, scantily clad women, back to back in a 96 position.
Red Bulls, Crimson Bulls...it's all good... now, what are we gonna name the inevitable fuzzy mascot? Brother Badgerjohn, of the "Not all mascots are bad" class
In looking back on western lore, one of the few icons that hasn't yet been appropriated for a sports franchisee is "cattle thieves." It's a little long, but it's one of the few that hasn't been used. It has a certain daring. I like it.
