We are about a month-and-a-half (November 17) from Fort Worth's brand introduction event at Dickies Arena, where the team's name, logo, and colors will be revealed.
What are we thinking NLL fam? Panthers? Stampede? Herd? Another wild card?
If there hasn't been another trademark found at this point, I think one of those three will probably be it. I'm going Panthers. Or at least I'd prefer Panthers.

I imagine this may be a hot debate, but with Halifax claiming the original Rochester Knighthawks' championships, well, I think you know where I'm headed...
Who claims the six championships by the Philadelphia Wings in 1989, 1990, 1994, 1995, 1998, and 2001?
I understand the 1987-2014 Wings iteration officially relocated to New England, but aside from a few trash talking tweets from the Black Wolves, it's hard to find confirmation that the Black Wolves own six championships. I've never seen the league acknowledge the Black Wolves "searching to claim their seventh title".
Wikipedia makes it no easier by creating a separate article for each team stint. All three Wings iterations have their separate articles. Another example: while the Mammoth have also been in Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and Washington, all four team identities have their own articles. Do the Mammoth own the Thunder, CrosseFire, and Power's records, too?

To avoid the previous post being too long, that expansion plan could put a 20-team NLL at:
Western Conference Northwest Calgary Edmonton Saskatchewan Seattle Vancouver
Southwest Colorado Fort Worth Las Vegas San Diego Utah
Eastern Conference Atlantic Georgia New England New York Philadelphia Washington
North Buffalo Halifax Montreal Rochester Toronto

Nicky S. talked about expanding in "phases" with San Diego, Philadelphia, Halifax, and New York coming in as the first round, getting the league back to 13 teams for the first time since 2007.
The next "phase" presumably will see the league get to a nice number of 16, hopefully two conferences with two divisions. Fort Worth became #14, I think Vegas is a safe pick for #15, and let's just say Edmonton comes in #16 to give us four geographically pleasant divisions (while ignoring the fact Georgia on its own island).
I started a topic on the temporary new forum about where Team 16 would be.
This time, who are/should be Teams 17-20 looking ahead to Phase III? This is assuming the gap between Teams 16 and 17 is longer than Teams 13 and 14.
I'll go: #17 Seattle - great sports city and by this time, the Kraken will have established themselves #18 Washington - years after the AFL's demise, Ted Leonsis buys a team in a lacrosse hotbed to expand his team portfolio #19 Salt Lake City - Utah's growing lacrosse community leads charge to bring the state's first pro team #20 Montreal - Nicky S. will never forget about Canada

Play in the summer.
You'd think more arena dates would be open, although it'd cross over with MLL/PLL. However, I'm sure if the NLL chose that course of action the other leagues would adjust accordingly.

Yeah, but they had honey on their sheets. Reference to an old SNL Bees sketch.
