Tempo is pretty mid to me. It reminds me of the Pacers. The alliteration feels a little strange. I wonder what they'll do for a logo/mascot. All that said, I'm excited for a WNBA team to come to Canada!

The alliteration certainly has a strange tempo...

Too bad they don't pronounce the second T in Toronto.

I wasn't wrong that it might be like the Pacers

The mascot should be a plastic garage, obviously.

Logo is in the article. Tempo is just so bland and boring. It's like the Simpsons writers chose that nick.

They should have called it Toronto ICE, with a flying chair as the logo

A bit childish, but that's my comfort zone, the TeeTee's? Really?

Yeah, there's no way this could be a horrible thing that will inevitability lead to a name change when the pervs in the crowd bring signs that say "show us your TT's"

It's sad, but it's probably going to be proven true.
