I'm not sure I understand all this stressing about the name. People are talking as if Foxes is synonymous with Leicester. If that is the case then why are the Speedway team called the Lions, and the Rugby team called the Tigers ?

I dare say The Northampton "Hamptons" was considered but Foxes does make for an easier race jacket and merchandise design!

To maybe attract a younger audience the thunderous "Northampton Nitros" could have worked or Northampton Thunder makes you wonder

Isn't Saints the name of the rugby team? If you wanted a link with the Rugby supporters they could have been called after their most famous player!! Northampton Pollocks. Joking aside I thought something like Knights would have worked.  Isn't their some links to Royalty in the area? I mean they couldn't have been called the Princesses.     

Falcons. Historical link to Falconry

Just got the final wrong too.
