Pollster Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 In a perfect world I would try to get the “rokkr” name from the call of duty league. https://rokkr.callofdutyleague.com/en-us/news/minnesota-rokkr-our-story Quote Røkkr is an old Norse word for “twilight” — the moment between day and night when the last light fades beyond the horizon — commonly associated with Ragnarøkkr (Ragnarok), the end of the world or “Twilight of the Gods” in Norse mythology. Inspired by these legends, our modern day Røkkr is a team of chosen warriors forged in the fierce climate of the true North. As darkness falls, the Minnesota Røkkr emerge. By morning they are the last ones standing. The logo is a mysterious helmeted figure emerging from shadows of deep purple and black, ready to join the mythical battle. The glint of blue along the right side and horns represents moonlight, both lighting the figure and glowing intensely from within the blue eye. These elements are inspired by the lore of the north and a fierceness embodied by our team’s players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y*so*blu Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 People, people! Let's be reasonable here. If it ever reaches the point that we can't use the name Vikings (because the Vikings were militant colonialists, and use of their name obviously means that we condone such things) then by similar criteria, none of the suggested replacements would be appropriate either.

All of this is a bad look. The only acceptable name is the Minnesota Minnesotans. 🤪 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
