Yes, but I remain unmoved. After all, the Globetrotters weren't called the Jesters or Clowns. They could have called the Indianapolis team the Barnstormers and maintained some dignity in the name. But that's just my own aesthetic. I take my team nicknames very seriously, and I try to make them a realistic reflection of local history, geography, animal life, etc.
