Let the Europeans name their clubs according to their customs, and we can name our clubs according to ours.
I don’t know, I feel like we could use more of that and less “Kraken” and “Venom.”

I’d reject European naming traditions, too, if North American naming traditions over the last couple decades hadn’t skewed toward what 10 year old boys think is cool.
