Ah, that's right. I knew that a Sheff sports team used the 'Steeler' name: wasn't sure which. That kind of reduces the appeal, then.
When I came to think of a Belfast team name, my first thought was to go to an IRA-inspired name for some reason. Maybe too soon. Not sure at what point an armed conflict becomes legitimate fodder for sports team name-related appropriation.
