if you could rename a major league sports team (anywhere in the world, any sport), what would you name it? (lemmy.zip)

Utah might be getting a major league baseball team and I couldn't help but wonder about names. Seems like so many are overused.

Me personally, I like Rabbid Jackalopes (unless they were based in Ogden in which case tweaker seems appropriate), but I'm sure they wouldn't pick that. What about the rest of Lemmy? What name would get you to cheer?

Edit: revisiting this as I actually came up with a better name: The Gila Monsters

They live in southern Utah, provide a unique name, and would make a great mascot. They also haven’t been politicized yet

Seattle Sounders. It’s a USL team for soccer. If you know, you know. If you don’t, just understand that it should be changed and move on

What's the current name?

Seattle Sounders, they're saying they would change that to anything else.
