Time Running Out on the UFL's Nameless Teams

After hearing very little about the UFL over the past couple of weeks, I quickly skimmed over UFL.com and looked at the timetable for this offseason. I noticed that August was penned for the unveiling of team names and uniforms, and it got me thinking about what they could possibly be.

We have four teams, situated in Orlando, San Francisco, New York, and Las Vegas.

I have heard some good suggestions from people I have talked to about this and below are just some of the ideas that were presented.

I thought that it would be a good idea to get people's opinions and ideas of some names. After all, outside of the Michael Vick "will he/won't he?" sweepstakes to the UFL, there is little to talk about this inaugural offseason.

First up we have Las Vegas, and the name Gamblers.

The Las Vegas Gamblers, obvious I know, but they have to be thinking along these lines—casinos, entertainment, etc. First I thought of the LV Dice Rollers, but I thought that was a little too gimmicky. After all, this league is a professional football league and wants to stay clear of the XFL and its pure entertainment side.

So come on, B/R readers, what are your ideas for the LV team name?

Second, we have Orlando and possibly the Suns.

There is obviously a team already named the Suns (Phoenix NBA), but Florida is, after all, the Sunshine State. If not the Suns, how about the Orlando Tropics, or something of that nature? I know that team names don't always have to represent their state, but I think both Suns and Tropics would be a fitting name.

Again, leave your ideas for Orlando in the comments section below.

Third we have San Fran, and possibly the San Francisco Gold Rush.

The Gold Rush of 1848 is notorious, just as San Fran is known for its Golden Gate Bridge, so this would seem like a very fitting name for their football team. Outside of this, the team really stumped me for ideas, perhaps the Rolling Thunder after the San Fran rolling hills?

This one really stumped me, so I welcome all your input on it.

Finally we have New York and possibly the New York Boroughs.

I really like this name. It would strike a chord straight away as soon as you hear it, and I don't think that it is at all too gimmicky. It would not specify any one area of New York but bring the whole city into the equation. It already has two football teams titled Jets and Giants.

I'm sure there are several names that come to mind when thinking of New York.

I'm looking forward to hearing the names you suggest. Let's get as many ideas down in the comments section as possible and see if we come up with any names that are actually revealed come August.
