Fort Wayne Mastodons

edit

Since they are branded as Fort Wayne Mastodons should we move to "Fort Wayne Mastodons"? Quidster4040 (talk) 20:04, 6 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

@Quidster4040: Not unless it is the WP:COMMONNAME, which a quick search show it isn't. Corkythehornetfan (ping me) 20:11, 6 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
@Corkythehornetfan: Alright. Quidster4040 (talk) 21:26, 6 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
@Quidster4040: and @Corkythehornetfan: Not sure if it's time to revisit a potential name change... but:
@Dale Arnett: CBS Sports seems to use the new brand name as well. If you want to request the move, I'll support it. Corkythehornetfan (ping me) 23:39, 17 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

IPFW MastodonsFort Wayne MastodonsIPFW officially announced in August 2016 that it would change its athletic brand to "Fort Wayne", effective immediately. Since then, the NCAA, ESPN, and CBS Sports have mostly changed to the new brand name; for more details, see discussion on the talk page. IPFW's main conference, The Summit League, has used the "Fort Wayne" branding since 2012 as part of a conference initiative; for details on this issue, see the "Branding" section of the main article.
