It's a cool name. Always reminds me of North Saint Paul though.

as in polar bears? i'm not sure if i'd go with an animal that's on the endangered list and most likely won't be in existence within 20 years.

Hopefully the same can be said about our pro basketball team. ;)

Sometimes name changes are for the worse. The Ft Myers Miracle, the Twins A+ minor league team, changed their name. They are now the "Mighty Mussels". WTF. Worst name ever.

good question - the creature on the logo was white - so i was assuming polar bears, which i suppose we could start having around here if everything melts - but so far i don't think we've had many sightings.

You know what, a change of colour scheme may be the best thing. Those Prince jerseys were fantastic.

That is a much better idea than a full name change.



Or do we go all out and become the Minnesota Princes?

Or become even more renegade, call ourselves The Princes of Minnesota (i.e. instead of the State or city being mentioned first, the team name is first). Very Prince to do so.

But we never call ourselves that. We have people announce us as that!

i think Purple Pain might cover more bases - and at least it's an honest nod to our history.
