OT: Name the fictitious Montreal NBA and NFL expansion teams

[PuckNorris]

If Montreal was awarded and NBA and NFL expansion franchise, what do you think the team names would be?

For the NBA, I think Montreal Royales has a nice ring to it. In English it would be pronounced Roy-Al.

For the NFL, Montreal Marauders feels like a good football team name. Of course, in French "maraudeur "is the name for the safety.

What do you think it would be?

I can't get behind a name linked to the monarchy.

For NBA I would follow the trend of the other Canadian teams, so Montreal Moose or Montreal Black Bears, since BC is full of Grizzlies and Ontario has a velociraptor infestation, might as well stick to Quebec’s common wild animals.

French traditionally love monarchy, just read the history books.

NBA : Les gangs de rues (I might go to hell for this one)
NFL : Les Rouge (the name of the CFL's extra point when you kick it out of the end zone as mocked by the Americans)

They certainly loved getting rid of them 3 times. Which also means they brought them back twice.

Also, I have no problem with monarchy as a concept of the past and a system that played its role. I hate the monarchy that still lives today. I especially hate that Canada is still subject to it in some ways. An absurd system in today's world.
