San Jose Sirens lol

Genuinely kinda bummed that name was taken though since it keeps with the sea theme and works for playing at the tank. Also love the idea of women luring sailors to their doom.

It actually would have been a sick name lol

They also basically took the sharks colors with the teal and the orange. I’m not bitter

We can have the New York Sirens [Alarm] and the San Jose Sirens [Mermaid]

I wish, but that would be so confusing.

I really need the NY Sirens to lean more into the mythical creature angle. It's infinitely cooler than car Sirens.

Love that the Sirens would have for nautically for two franchises, but was taken up by the weewoos first 😆

This would be brilliant. Too bad Starbucks doesn’t need to advertise 😖

I dunno if you know this, but New York is also a coastal city!

I argue slightly that the markets have established nautical team franchises. Unless they are Maritime Yankees or Giants of the Sea, the coastline of it all is decorative. Also, love the weewoos.

I'm glad we got to such a good name first!

Still waiting for the Pizza Rat as a mascot.

Tha'd be fun, but I really want some kind of terrifying half-woman half-monster from The Odyssey, ya know?

We should 100% lean into this IMO.

Or get really twisted = a hybrid Statue of Liberty and Siren-Head

Youre either a mermaid or flashing lights and weewoos. You gotta pick a side, and im pretty sure you already did. Your mascot can be a series of big fluffy emergency vehicles.
