Part II- What's in the name?

So what should the new CFL Ottawa team have to represent themselves in the greatest league in North America?!

I'm big into animal groupings, it's kinda my weird fun knowledge that I love to know. Ottawa is Canada's capital city and is especially known for their Parliament buildings where all the MPs of Canada come together to fight out issues on how to make the nation better (though sometimes this is a slower process unfortunately). Do you guys know what a Parliament is as an animal grouping? Well it's a group of Owls. At first even to me this name seemed somewhat lame, just another animal name based team, but then it started to grow on me more. Being named the Ottawa Owls is a little clever in my mind, and Jeff Hunt and his marketing team could definitely market the franchise easily with "Parliament" in mind!

So does this name work for you?! Could you see yourself being a fan of a CFL team named the Ottawa Owls? Would you give a hoot for that name (sorry for the lame crack)? Would love your feedback and comments on this issue. As in the end, this is Ottawa's team and for it to truly take off for the new/ old fans Hunt should engage himself with them. Let the fans decide on what to call this team for that's the way ALL business is going these days!
