What's most interesting about the Hitmen is that the Flames were among the organizations chastising the new team for its logo and "violent image" in 1995. When they bought the club two years later, the name was never changed.
Reason? When the name and logo were announced, people chose to make a big stink about it so they could make themselves feel important. By 1997, nobody cared anymore, and the name was accepted as legitimate.
The same thing is happening now with the London Rippers. Two years from now, nobody will even care.
