I think Totems could be taken the wrong way by some though, that is what I am getting at. I personally don't see a problem with it, but I can see some that will, and think the league would think twice about it since we are living in this overloaded politically correct world of ours.
There is no problem with using totems as part of your uniform if done right, or any type of native works as long as you have consulted that heritage group. But using the name could be a whole other game and one I think the league would shy away from.
Plus as you say totems are tall inanimate objects, they don't move, easy to get around, don't think you want your team being compared to something like that!
