Probably, but it's a little late for that now.

Yeah but their logo, colors, and green and road jerseys are great. Should have gone with the Minnesota Wilderness, but that's now an NAHL team.

Of the names that made it to the final list of candidates, Wild was the least popular with all the people I knew.

One of the local radio show DJs likes to call them the Bear Pigs, because of the logo.

That would be the ManBearPigs (South Park reference).

I would have liked the Voyageurs, personally.

That's already Stillwater's nickname.

Voyageurs had my vote. Throw l'etoile du nord on the shoulders or something.

Fun fact: Minnesota is the only state with a French motto, even though almost none of us have French ancestry. (I do, but very little.)

Voyageurs would have been great. I picked Lumberjacks off the list though.

That would have been great. Although I bet the logo would have been some mad looking guy with a fur cap :eyeroll:

I remember being underwhelmed by the list...

What is a "voyageur" anyway? A traveling peeping Tom?

Frenchy fur trappers, mostly.

I would've went with Voyageurs, also. I wouldn't say I like "Wild," but I've gotten used to it. My first choice would've been a Cleveland Browns-like deal and gotten North Stars back.

Yes. Drop the "Minnesota" thing and find a winning name for a pro sports team.
