Warrior General Games

As we face Lyon this week I am reminded that I wanted to name Manchester Divided something different..
I wanted us to be Lyon's Tigers and Bears... but I was out voted.

Our original players submitted ideas and we put it up for a vote.

Just wondered how the rest of y'all came up with your names.

we started as a 13 cap expansion team in season 6 in we bbb7. we were the lyon magicians as our given name (ah, the old days of getting NEW teams in expansion leagues, and not recycled ones with crazy names), and after a few minutes of contemplating, i figured that they made wine in lyon, and didnt want to relocate the team, so the lyon winemakers we became.

relocation to lombardy was proposed in season 7, but we thankfully decided to stay put and won a championship for the home crowd that year our minor league affiliate now resides in lombardy.

I'm sure Burnt Orange Rising has little to do with Europe, but I'm not sure where it's origin is....

I don't know where we got our name. I took over the team 4-5 seasons ago from the original owner, but the Munich Owls are what this team has always been named as far as I know.

Don't remember how we named the Ayrshire team. Pretty sure it happened while in a drunken stupor.

Our first team was the Austin Shaggy Bevos, named after a Longhorn website where we post. Manchester is the 4th in that line.

we need to get out of france!

ALthough I did wage an unsuccessful campaign to rename us the Lyon Eyes as an Eagles homage. Lyon Bastards would have worked too

I took over as Turin's owner when the last guy went mia. Just left the name the same.

Amsterdam Panthers are named after the real life team Amsterdam Panthers at which i am a Junior Coach.
