This process encompasses marketing strategy, public engagement, and legal considerations to ensure the chosen moniker resonates positively and avoids conflicts with existing trademarks.
The importance of this decision cannot be overstated. A well-chosen identifier fosters fan loyalty, drives merchandise sales, and shapes the team’s identity within the league.
