There was no league in 1928.

1929 Sheffield opened.

I think Cobblers is a good nickname, after all isn’t there a Swedish club called the Blacksmiths?

Highly unlikely any marketing or promotional organisation would consider adopting “Cobblers given the slang phrase “load of cobblers” used to express strong disbelief, contempt, or to dismiss something as utter nonsense, rubbish, or a lie.

The Northampton rugby team are known as the Saints so that might have local appeal and has a speedway pedigree.

If they want to be The Saints I'd hope someone has spoken to the Rugby team and if they were in agreement

Make the team colours the same and offer reduced price entry for the Rugby clubs ST/Membership holders all season in an attempt to get numbers through the doors.

Looking through the thread it seems Nitros is the favourite 

However..... isn't using Nitro illegal

Maybe their logo could be of a few disgarded canisters, or some teenagers laughing. 

Personally I think it's a terrible nickname for a speedway team
