Need a name for my Houston franchise

PNatsFan703 · 02-17-2017, 02:50 PM

So The club is obviously based off of the space industry so I need something like that. As a big Star Trek fan I I am wanting to infuse Trek into the logo like below. I just need a good appropriate name that goes with it and I am stumped. Right now Cosmos are my top choice but I bet I can get something even better. Take out Apollos as that is already a team name so I am looking to evolve from it.

Here are the logos so far.

Captains. Commanders. Voyagers. Enterprises. Kirks, Spocks, Picards, Siskos, etc. Klingons, Romulans, Ferengis. Quarks. Crushers. (And Crushers manager Gates McFadden -- you know you always thought that was a name that fit a pot-bellied guy in a baseball uniform better than the person who actually wore it.) Damn, you've got options here.

In my fictional league Houston is the Warlocks, which is pretty good though as far as I know there's nothing that really connects that name to the city.

I kind of like Voyagers.

OMG I have no clue why I never thought of that. Great suggestion. You forgot the Borg haha

Looks like I'm a little late to add something new to the proceedings, but I've enjoyed Houston Cosmos in the past, and I think it's pretty cool. I've also used Outlaws recently, but that's probably not a good fit for this. There's the Houston Rockets, but that might not be original enough.

Delving further into the Star Trek, which I also love, the Houston Commodores might be decent, although I don't remember that many Commodores since Decker in the Original Series. Houston Comets, maybe? Warbirds could be a possibility, but perhaps too Romulan. Houston Cochranes, (after Zephram).

I also like Odysseys. My main toon's ship in Star Trek Online is an Oddy, so I can dig that.

I think we have a winner here!! Mostly because the name rules and the name Aeros looks really bad ass with the Trek fonts I have especially with two called Final Frontier and Jeffries.
