Well the people who will be watching were underwhelmed by them from what I can see on Twitter. Those proposed team names were laughable, and literally all of the options for Ottawa's team name were garbage.you won't be watching anyway so what's the big deal?
All of these are objectively terrible and bush league. 4 out of 6 used collective nouns that mean nothing and are well-nigh unmarketable. The logo designs, such as they are, look like clip art. The only advantage of any of them is that they are so generic that no new names, logos or unis will need to be designed when a team inevitably has to relocate to another market.

And as bad as these are, the alternatives were even worse. Who comes up with this shit?

Montreal Molson CanadianLowkey hot take: More teams should do what Washington did in the NFL a few years ago & what Utah's doing now...
Washington Football Team
Utah Hockey Club
Eventually, they're going to come up with some ridiculous sounding names and the announcers are going to say, Welcome everyone to tonight's hotly contested match-up between the Dungaroos and Odors!
Just keep it simple, City A vs City B.
The way soccer does it. The team's logo is low on the pecking order compared to the corporate sponsors.Montreal Molson Canadian

I’m searched deep inside and found that I’m kinda impartial. I like team names but I also don’t mind city sports team. But when talking about a team I will use the team name 95% of the time over the city.Lowkey hot take: More teams should do what Washington did in the NFL a few years ago & what Utah's doing now...

Logos are really bad though.

Minnesota Menopause
Ottawa Bureaucracy (I was going to call them Rough Riders just to piss off Saskatchewan. Maybe change it to Raw Doggers)
How dumb can one franchise be? 8 years in a row they can't do shit in the playoffs and their answer is to acquire a player who is legendary for disappearing in big games and has the well-earned nickname "Perimeter-etty".
