How it works

This is YOUR team, and you get to call the shots: starting with the name. Submit your best, boldest, or downright craziest name idea below. We’ll pick the top 3–5 fan submissions and reveal them in September for a final vote. Let’s name this team together, the FUN way!

The name chosen by you should reflect the values, the history, and highlight the best things about Grand Forks! This is the city’s team, so we believe that Grand Forks must be a part of the name as well!
