The Toronto RUSH!!!
Based off of a famous local band, sounds cool, and they could play their songs at games. The Toronto Limelight could be good in this vein as well.

Toronto Loons
We have a "Great Lakes Loons" minor league baseball team (affiliate of the LA Dodgers) where I live and I think the mascot is pretty cool.

Huskies is probably a no-go as MLSE likely owns that. Same with dino related stuff, my guess is they cant do that with MLSE and the Raptors.

I could be wrong but was under the impression that Valkyrie was rumoured for the GS new team.
As far as I know they have selected a name as of yet, and if it is maybe we use Athena (was one of the twelve chief Olympian deities and the goddess associated with wisdom, craft, and warfare)

I agree with your statement but I would bet that if the Liberty Statue were created only in 2024 that some people would find a way to call it “woke”.
Woke is now used every time that someone does not like something or anytime someone suggests change, something new or any kind of progress.
To get back to Unity . It was one of the name suggests by ChatGPT. To be fair the AI of ChatGPT is impressive but still very weak and can pretty much put any name in the dictionary that is not too controversial as a potential name .
But while it’s definitely not my choice or far from being my preferred option I kinda like Unity because I think Team sports need to be played with unity . Also I like to think that Fans and a whole city can come together and support one and the other.
Overall while I am not against. I think I would still prefer a team name that can be put on plurals (as oppose to an idea or a concept )

You are correct that I don’t think they have selected a name yet . But saw some rumours that Valkyrie was going to be the name . Not sure about the legitimacy though .
Otherwise I agree that Valkyries could be an interesting idea !

why was hakeem called "the dream"??"
Because it rhymes with 'Olajuwon'.
remember Canadians are just Mexicans with sweaters

More like woke people would find a way to call it offensive.
Unity to me is vague and generic. Yes sports require unity aka teamwork but that's nothing specific to Toronto or Canada. Something with local flavor would be better.

Don't want non-plural words that are difficult to convert to singular. I am a Unity is failure.

I like Huskies or something Dinosaur related to keep the theme consistent.

Woke is being use as pejorative and you know it . Anyhow let’s agree to disagree .
But if we go back to the subject of Team name, I agree with you that it’s always better when it’s more unique and with a local flavour . That is said , many team name are unfortunately not that unique and often generic .
If we can find something specific to Canada or Toronto . I would definitely be down for that .

I am a Heat? Magic? Thunder?
I'm not saying Unity is a good name but i don't think the noun has to be plural.
