Crazily enough, in one of my old, old leagues, I actually had a team called the Silicon Valley Cyborgs. It's a great name and would be perfect for this '90s-as-all-get-out league.

None of the Atlanta names really excite me. Sodajerks is the best of the bunch. Maybe tap further into the soda industry there? ColaBlades, Cola Rollers, something wacky.

If I end up using Action as the name for LA's team, what would be a good idea for a logo?

What about like one of those old school movie cameras on roller skates? A sort of golden era "lights, camera, action" type of vibe? 

Now that the eight charter teams have been named and branded...

Now it's onto the 1992 expansion, which will see 4 teams enter the league.

Chicago (Rosemont Horizon)
Houston (The Summit)
New England (Hartford Civic Center)
Seattle Grunge (Seattle Center Coliseum and Tacoma Dome if necessary)

Not sure if anyone recommended it yet, but what about the Rolling Thunder. Could work for Tampa (2nd most lightning struck place on the planet) or most mid-west teams as well.
