just watched the video from the Sweetwater, sorry I couldn’t be there to join in the jackassery, but I will be there on Wednesday from 7 PM.
Peace and futbol, my friends.

Give it time. Even though it seemed like a no-brainer, it still took the Bulls a couple of years to come up with Benny. There’s no need to market a team from top to bottom before the first ball has been kicked.

Although, Thor is pretty sweet no matter what the team.

I say they should do some cross promoting with a local dairy company like Kemps or Land-O-Lakes, get a group of mascots together (rather than one), and call them the “Milky Way”. They could come up with all sorts of antics, from “shooting stars” launched out of a cannon to forming constellations in the stands to passing out free milk at the games. There’s a lot that could be done with a group like that, and it would allow them to share the burden of cheering the team and rousing the fans.

IMHO, Nessy and the like is a terrible nickname.

Just spitballing, and after a few pints I might be well off reality, but what about ‘The Lake ‘ as a stadium nickname (NSC stadium is blue…supporters could be the ‘Blue Wave’) or ‘the Northland’ (a bit cheesy but reflective of MN. Supporters as the ‘lumberjacks’?).

And for the players, the ‘Shooting Stars’ is corny but may be marketable to young kids (maybe that is better left for a youth camp) or the ‘Wakicuzas’ (leaders translated from the Lakota language).

As far as youth camps. BQ have you done an article about Coerver being contracted as the official camp operators?
