" Thinking about the new stadium and the Between the Palms and the Beach Club décor, the old Blue Wave surfaced in my head. And it stuck there, like that tune you hear when you wake up that won’t go away the rest of the day. Should FAU consider changing its nickname? And if so, shouldn't it be the Blue Wave?"
I don't know exactly how many universities have changed their nicknames over the years, but I know UCF went from the Golden Knights to just the Knights, as party of their re-branding strategy for the opening of their new on-campus stadium.
Does anyone else think this is the time to change names?

This is in the football forum. The change would affect all FAU teams accross the board. All sports would take on Blue Wave, if changed.
I understand that the name change would be across the board for all FAU athletic teams. I just posted it in the football forum because I believe that is where the most online traffic is located.

There are other teams out there with two names as well…Auburn is the Tigers and War Eagles for example. Michigan is the Wolverines and Big Blue. I think FAU should use the name "Blue Wave" to market our location geographically and I also think it sounds cool.
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

However I would hate to retard the progress the school has made on the atheltics side by changing it up.
Were just now on the tips of peoples toungues as the FAU Owls. If we went to Blue Wave I could see people wondering why Tulane was on the schedule instead of FAU like it was supposed to.
Owls was chosen, and owls it should remain.
