OK, lets see what people think about the later suggestions up against the marlins and stingrays, getting rid of such dross as rays, guards and ironmen

Actually it was 'input' and yes I appreciate your response. Rather than 'inane' I thought it was very much 'ane'

All those names are crap. It should be the Gold Coast Goldfish !
Interesting that the Hammerheads at this stage are preferred over the Marlins which is the clear favourite on the GC17 website.

Stingrays or Hammerheads. The other two make me think of American franchises.

Lions, Eagles, Hawks, Bulldogs, Blues, Tigers....do these shame the game or something?
The Eagles do.

If the Townsville Suns had to change their name how come the footy team won't?
Possibly because they're not a basketball team - trademarks can be a wonderfully grey area of law.
(And if anyone thinks it should be ignored, just take a look at how much merchandise the Fremantle Football Club has with the word 'Dockers' on it...)

I am still in favour of the Sharks.

Fair point, and I suppose no basketball team was going to take on the NBA - much easier to just roll over and change everything. Who knows, they might not even own the rights now anyway.
Gold Coast Generals maybe?
Alliteration is good, very vague links to the gold coast as 2 of Australia's 3 largest military barracks are in Queensland (although none are anywhere near GC). Probably too American though...
Shame though, as it could potentially facilitate a half decent dark green strip (definitely no camo involved though), although the Australian army general badge is a very complex design. If it were like the 4 silver stars American generals wear, it'd be very easy to effectively incorporate into a jumper and logo design.
Also, probably would make people think of the Washington Generals, which isn't exactly the best sporting team to be associated with.
I dunno, just a thought. None of the names so far have really blown my mind...

Ergh, sheesh, Sharks, cross it off, its not an option, it'd be ideal, but it's not able to be considered, so there's no point in keeping on bringing it up. Forget Sharks.
Gold Coast Giants
now shut up.
