Once a manager joins a league, he should start brainstorming a team name. Feel free to bounce ideas off other members of your league, or you can use this page to help craft a team identity that doesn't rely on a player name pun that won't be relevant next season.

Sign up here to receive OIL updates on awards, league news, veteran news, SECFOR updates, logo announcements and more. 
Here is a crowd-sourced spreadsheet of name ideas.
