They won’t do something cool like that. They don’t want to offend anything or anyone in the Arachnid or LaJoie Family. In this era, it’s always a benign/cheap nickname that wins out... often not ending in an “s”. The WFL pretty much started this awful trend (Shreveport Steamer, Southern California Sun). And ever since, it’s just gotten worse.
Maybe they could follow Stanford’s lead. I know the name “Cardinal” is already taken, but perhaps they could be the “Cleveland Scarlet”. They could wear plain red hats, and a name like that could strike some fear into their opponents.
Perfect for a bland society!
