The new name hasn't been announced yet, but the rumored options are either Red Wolves or Warriors. I think Red Wolves is extremely lame, like what I would expect from a high school or a D2 college team. Warriors isn't particularly original, but I think it's preferable to Red Wolves.

How about the Cherry Blossoms? They already have a festival. Why not add it to the football team. There is a high school in Minnesota (Blooming Prairie) nicknamed The Awesome Blossoms

Isn't Washington DC's soccer team named "DC United"? Spinning off that theme and the fact that some didn't want the name changed, how about "The Washington Divided". I get the joke, but I can't stand how many MLS teams copy European soccer names for no particular reason. So many of them want to include "FC" in the name, and then you get stuff like "United" just because some of the famous European teams are called that. There are three "United"s in the MLS (and one "Union"). Ten teams have FC in their names, plus another one with CF (the same thing but in Spanish). I have more respect for the three that at least dared to call themselves "SC" for "Soccer Club". The latter is still a nod to tradition but also acknowledging that we're not Europe. Minnesota United predates their time in MLS. When Bill McGuire bought the team in 2012, he named the team Minnesota United. BTW, people almost never call them United. Most people call them the Loons, after the bird on the logo.

I know this is quite old...but today was the first time I saw it. I've gotta admit that I laughed.

I have a great idea let’s call the team, “the Woke.” Every time the other opponent makes a touchdown, we can boycott their product worldwide, and we can cry our eyes out.

I think it's physically impossible to "cry our eyes out." But you first.

Geoduck is just meh to me, nothing I'd go out of my way to order geoducks. In a sushi restaurant it’s called mirugai, and it’s delicious! Fondest memory was ordering mirugai in Shinjuku and the sushi chef took out a fresh one and started slicing it up. OH! It was so crunchy and delicious. Has to be cold and crunchy for it to be good!
