I still think the Kharkiv Lo Pans should have been the Tanks....since the equipped the Red Army with tanks to stop the Nazis in WWII.

Yea, I know ours isn't a City name, and I apologize for that. But the Core Owners/GMS have been using this name for football related activities for almost 15 years now.... so when i bought the team, I had to use that name. 
So it's an inside knowledge thing. But I understand why you don't like it without the city name.
We'll have a logo up soon, I got the players competing for the logo design we'll use.

I know I jumped the gun on naming the team, If there was a way to change after you already chose I would. But I think we'll surprise a few teams this year and I look forward to it.
Besides you have a city that has 2 rivers going through it and one is Lo Pan and that had to be the bad guy in one of my favorite movies. It just made sense at the moment.
I've heard the name turned some players away from us which is a shame. But it is what it is..............

Tallinn Tigers: I just chose a cool city in Estonia for the location. As for the "Tigers" mascot, I am a HUGE LSU Tigers fan...and thats the story.
I know its generic, but I was going to name the team the Louisiana Tigers and I know yall wouldnt appreciate that!
Happy to be here and look forward to a competetive season.

If you're not going to play for a team because you don't like the name, well, I guess we didn't want you anyway!
Oil Pans? hahaha.

The best team name was one that we *didn't* use (based on our original city name):
Donetsk DontTell.

Mombasa Wombats

Morgantown Biscuits
That leaves me with:
Tallinn Tigers
Vilnius Iron Wolves
Kharkiv Lo Pans
Saratov Slashers
Bucharest Stunners
Belarus Death Machine
Rostov-on-Don Squad
Katowice Legion
Maribor Triforce
Bratislava Stachstachers
Next, I would remove common, generic and/or lame mascot names even if the city was cool... I personally like Tallinn a lot, but the generic and non-region specific mascot rule it out as an A+ name, same with the Stunners, Slashers and Death Machine.
I'm left with these teams as candidates as best name:
Vilnius Iron Wolves
Kharkiv Lo Pans
Rostov-on-Don Squad
Katowice Legion
Maribor Triforce
Bratislava Stachstachers
For some of the names I'm unsure of the decision and if the owners would like to shed light on their decisions it would be cool. I'm a big respecter of names that have regional or cultural meanings, and I love some of the more obscure cities chosen in this list. If I were to go off of logos involved in the equation I would be left with Maribor and Bratislava. I'm tired of animated team logos with sharp transitions, death motifs, and teams with no logos.
