Sydney Celtics
I really like that for a number of reasons - it has only "Sydney" as the team , "Celtics" runs off the tongue and has an impact , GWS can own the colour green and pick up a handy ready made following .
However , I'm against that , basically it's be like Port Adelaide with a higher than usual uptake at the start then unable to expand because they are in a narrow identity band .
.
Plus the whole Port Power/Port Magpies debate will PALE in comparison to the supporter wars over Cell-tic or Kell-tic

Boo I wanted HOODS!
LAME if true.
Celtic? have you people BEEN to GWS???? ffs
may have to reconsider rolling over my ACT4GWS pledge into a membership if it is that the GWS team will be so boringly named.
how big are these giants anyway? are we talking Norse or Greek mythos variety giants (about the size of Sandilands), or Jolly Green Giants (can have a giant bong emblem which will gather support from across the GWS region thats for sure, even from untapped market of non-sports fan bongheads)
or even bigger, like, say the size of their salary cap and other concessions?
Much prefer Spartans to Giants- too Yankee.
Has anyone posted the Spartak Moscow moniker yet ?
Just checked on it: some lame red diamond thingy.

That's a reason I don't like Giants .
Railways , Towners , Whalers anything but Giants
If you're thinking Spartans then Sydney Olympics is the obvious choice .

That is an impressive jumper design, but considering they'll be in direct competition with the Swans, I doubt they'll be using white or red on their strip.. They wouldn't want to have the same colours as the Bulldogs or Kangaroos either.
I know, I know, I have a feeling it will be yellow and green stripes or something gross like that.
It's the sort of name that when you first hear you feel a little robbed and find it a little ordinary, but after a few years it starts to grow on you, and you couldn't imagine it any other way.
As with the Suns (I was actually always a fan of the name) it's starting to grow on people and even the uniform is starting to grow on me also.
Just as long as they get the uniform right with this side and a good looking logo. Very important to get that right especially the colors.

Wolves for me.
read somewhere that not having sydney in the name is being seriously considered - to appeal to the whole state of NSW

I've seen "New South Whalers" a couple of times and whilst its obviously not a traditional name it kinda sticks in your head! I can see the masoct in my head...it's a Japanese "research scientist" with a harpoon!
