Considering it needs to be marketable to children and adults, need to be somewhat aggressive, have some sort of association to the region, has to be easily represented in visual form etc they are kind of limited.

How about the "Las Vegas Wayne Newtons"?
-Marketable to Children and Adults (check).
-Somewhat aggressive (probably-check).
-Association to the region (check).
-Easily represented in visual form (check).
To be serious though, I agree with you--lots of overlap in sports with respect to team nicknames. Still, if "NightHawks" or something similar goes through, you've got to think that Chicago would have been given some prior notice/voice on it. I'm not arguing that they SHOULD have this input, but, given their history in the league, it would be kind of a courtesy.
