Impossibly Perfect Sphere: Nov 6, 2002; They wasted Luanne on Lucky!

She could of have been so much more but the writers just didn't care!

This name change is probably hard to swallow.

The announcement of "We're changing the name but you'll find out later!" reeks of Snyder not being happy with any of the choices so far.

I think this is the real explanation, because it's so on brand.

Snyder knows what name he wants, but because they did no planning for this they've run into either a squatter or like some tiny Baptist college that has been using the name since 1905 that Snyder's going to sue.

The CFL only has one Roughrider team team, but on the other hand, they were eventually replaced with a team called the REDBLACKS (As in their jersey colours) which may not fly either.

And my greatest disappointment with Japanese team names was learning awesome names like the Tokyo Gas Creators and Nippon Ham Fighters are corporate owned teams that fight for the honour of Nippon Ham and create gas for Tokyo Gas and are not giant butts or hams with samurai swords.

Much lazier. It was just the colours of the old Rough Riders. When they came back, they had all the trademarks and stuff to use the logos and uniforms but Saskatchewan was like �you can�t actually be the Rough Riders again too because that�s dumb�. So they just kept everything except the actual name.

The Redskins should probably just go nickname and logo-free for this year so they're not just rushing out a new name and logo that they're then stuck with for forever (or at least for half a decade). Rebranding takes time.
