My talents are wasted, people.
How about the New York Blue Devils? They could alternately be called the Warrior Rapists. Or the Stripper Rapists.
Funny suggestion for the team name. However, I hope you don't make a suggestion for the new uniforms - based on the current look of the gawker site, I am afraid that your designing skills suck.
Pity about "Naked Guys with Big Sticks".
Obviously too-easy marketing and it would have garnered a larger and more rabid female fanbase than those every-four-years soccer-guys-with-accents subculture.
