Could some teams do with a bit of re-branding?

It's an organic nickname which developed after the club had already played games.

Carlton wore blue and their players were thus called the Blues.
Port as a Power was used quite often through our history, I'm not a fan of it as a nickname but it does have a past.
 
To be fair it was the Ottawa Rough Riders and the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Sadly the newly revived Ottawa team is the Redblacks. The ridiculous notion that there should be clarity and logic in sport! :rolleyes:

I know our song is shit but I love it and don't want it changed at any price. POWER! :p

Fair enough - ok, I'll give another example, this time involving Magpies - not top grade certainly - but the Ron Massey Cup in Rugby League, which is the Sydney grade comp below the NSW Cup (Reserves) have...
The Wentworthville Magpies
The Asquith Magpies
The Western Suburbs Magpies

That's three clubs in the one comp - all called Magpies

It can be done.

Don't the VFL now have the Coburg Tigers, Werribee Tigers and Richmond Tigers?

Personally I wouldn't have cared if Port Adelaide came into the AFL as the Magpies.
Coburg were the Tigers when they were aligned with Richmond, they are now back to using the traditional "Lions" monniker they had prior to the allignment. So there are two clubs in the VFL nicknamed "Tigers" (Werribee and Richmond Reserves), and I don't think it bothers anybody.
 
Wouldn't mind seeing GWS becime Canberra Giants. Not a fan of ACT Giants as rather places be more specific.

That said, West Coast to become Perth Eagles and Western Bulldogs to Ballarat Bulldogs. Make them like Geelong with their own home ground outside of Melbourne.

Seconded on all three counts.
