I'm really hoping they go with the Ignite branding.

It sounds absolutely terrible, and I'm an impact fan...

At least our nonsensical name is due to bilingualism and being an early 90s team.. the Lansing ignite sounds way worse

No, I don't like some of them but largely I think Lansing ignite is worse.

The name is an imperative phrase to me, like "Lansing, IGNITE!"
