Mexico City's baseball team is facing mounting political pressure over the team nickname and is considering a rebranding effort this offseason. "We haven't decided yet" noted GM Square Drive, "we have a long tradition as the Aztecs yet we are trying to be sensitive to concerns of the native population."
The organization announced a competition for an alternative but has so far rejected the following fan suggestions:
The Chihuahuas (too embarrasing)
The Mariachi (too annoying)
The Diablos (Catholic fan base won't root for a team with this name)
The Exploding Burritos (Burritos aren't Mexican)
The Dirty Sanchez (No explanation of rejection provided)
A final decision will be made shortly after the postseason.

Ooooo. This is exciting. I like the Aztecs identity but also very excited to see what you come up with!

Maybe the Aztecs could stick around as a minor league team? Ya know, preserve the history and stuff.

How about the Mexico City Mules? That works for Mexico on at least two levels, it's a short, alliterative team name that hasn't been overused, and while it's kind of comical, it evokes an image of strength (mules are very strong animals). Could be a fun logo, too.
