If there was anybody local to Leicester involved in the sport at the top level they would have known this šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

Having said that it's pretty common knowledge in the sporting world

You would have thought the Leicester owner may have said no fellow consortium members this is not a great thing to call Northampton The Foxes .Ā 
Ā 

It should have been The Saints or Dons if you want my opinion the other suggestion was Racers which again would have been betterĀ

Yep, could have gone with Racers especially with the home of British Motor Racing within the county (Silverstone)

If a 'consortium' of different people are running it, does that qualify as a clusterf#ck?

Well, they've done such a great job of collectively running the sport 😁

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.Ā  Isn't their some links to Royalty in the area? I mean they couldn't have been called the Princesses.Ā

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

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