Exactly. What is American about the Raiders emblem - are Vikings from
the US, Rams, Mariners? What about the Reds ? I never knew that the
western red kangaroo was native to North America. I know rams has been
used before but there are only so many to go around. The only other
choice that I can see is to go for some of these ridiculous generic
names like storm, heat, magic, glory etc.
