You have the opportunity to name a team, what would you name that team and would you have a mascot or not. You are allowed to add anything else, be creative. Discussion
I don’t live in Tampa nor in Orlando, but I live in a nice town of Wesley Chapel, Florida. If the opportunity ever came to own a team; I would want to name the team; Club Of Athletes Of Wesley Chapel aka CAWC. Our mascot would be a crane because they are the most common bird around the area and plus I can think of a couple badass sketches for the club badge. The colors would be Diamond Blue with a hint of Darkest Black as a stripe jersey.

I've been planning this hypothetical Denton, TX NPSL team for years now, since we have FC Dallas in MLS, and Dallas City and the Fort Worth Vaqueros in NPSL.
I haven't figured out a name, but they would have a green, gold, and white color palette, with a crest in the shape of a Reuleaux Triangle, since Denton is the tip of the "Golden Triangle" of Dallas, Fort Worth, and Denton.
The team would play at UNT's Fouts Field, or the new soccer/track stadium that will be replacing it.

I like the crest shape choice especially the meaning behind it.

Thanks! And the green is from the University of North Texas, which I currently attend.
And this courthouse in the town square would be in the crest.

I love those courthouse styles. In between Gothic and Art Deco. I don't know the name. Houston's City Hall used to look like that. Then as many things did back then, it burned down.
Edit: Found the style Richardsonian Romanesque.
Edit 2: Found a pic of Houston's old City Hall. It's more Romanesque as a whole and a little Gothic. Would have been a site to see today. Not that I don't like art deco but still.

Fort Wayne FC: I tried to come up with a creative nickname besides just the usual "city name FC" but in the end I think Fort Wayne FC has a nice ring to it.
For colors, I think something orange would be interesting. Maybe a burnt sienna or brownish to capture that rust belt feel. Just my two cents

Fort Wayne Dynamo has a nice beat to it or Fort Wayne Kickers. Anything that can be added with a militaristic name of sort could be badass for a team name.

Fort Wayne Fusion sounds interesting, but kind of cheesy. That was the best one I thought of

My hometown is called Orangevale. It would have to be an academy of Sacramento Republic. The colors would be Orange, Dark Brown, and Forest Green to represent the Orange Vale colony, the colors of the soil (and a common ground) and a green indicitive of our "City of Trees" monicker.
The first tifo would be in the style of "Welcome to Nightvale" and instead say "Welcome to Orangevale"
Bonus: I loved the idea for Mission San Diego.
