    I don't like Space Cowboys name...but at least it has a space theme. The Texans are branded like they should be playing in North Texas/South Oklahoma.

    Shoulda been the Space Texans lol

    Texans is the worst name in sports. Which fits because they're the worst franchise in sports.

    The sad thing is people keep talking about him, likes he's doing someone wrong. But I wouldn't worry, last I heard he's at home.

    I'd put Cleveland Browns first. Since they've been around so long the name isn't given a second thought. I know the name comes from an old coach but their team logo is just a brown color. If this name and logo were being introduced today they would be the laughing stock of the sports world which matches up with their terrible history.

    Well, other than the name, colors, logo, hats, jerseys and mascot, I think they've done an outstanding job with this rebranding effort.

    I was fine with the name name, but the jerseys are pretty disappointing imo. If you are gonna name your team the "Space Cowboys," go all in, don't give them a basic jersey

    My gosh... someone was paid money... the team spent lots of money to come up with that team name, uniform, and logo? Sometimes living near Houston is so embarrassing.

    I could have done it for free... the Sugarland Constellations. Would have save them money of branding since the field is already Constellation Field. And the logo could have been a easy graphic of a few stars linked together.

    If they wanted to make it space-themed... incorporate some elements of the Death Star or something...


    (This may be enough to motivate me to run for city council...)

    The number of people in this thread that don't know how to spell the name of the city that this team plays in is worse than the new team name.
