    Ravens could be linked to the Tower of London.... and the myth surrounding that, but then... Balitmore Ravens

    Yep, same. Can't see the Ravens changing their name of the franchise moving to London. They got more chances of naming it the London Unicorns...

    Something to link to our naval history;

    British Dreadnoughts?

    I like the Redcoats moniker that Cove proposed.
    If the NFL named the home team for each London game as the Redcoats and put a distinctive uniform on them the fans could buy, the fans would love it and I think the players would too.

    I don't think two Ravens would be a problem, but how about London bridges?

    Or how about something totally English:

    The London Tea drinkers

    That way, when you throw a party, you can call it a tea party, Yanks love a good tea party

    London Lions if no-one has already said it. It's good enough for the football and cricket teams.

    Good thought Pompey. But, the NFL already has the Detroit Lions.
    NFL Europe had the London Monarchs. Bring them back!

    No I don't like the class system. Maybe the Renegades. The Thunder as it's always bloody raining.

    Los Angeles is very, very happy to have the Raiders back.
    HBO has a show called "Hard Knocks" filming their training camp this Summer.
