Is this leak a strategic way to publicly vet the name? Maybe not. Sounds very boring and random. Would bet the criteria was just alliteration and very inoffensive/vanilla.

Why does the wnba lean towards non-countable nouns? Also, how does Tempo express the objectives of the name search in any way? It isn't a horrible name, just pretty boring. It is basically the Pacers except Indy has the connection to auto racing at least. Is it a reference to the Canadian music industry? pretty weak as far as names go.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Reminds me of Ford's crappiest model of the 80s/90s. I'm old.

I didn't see it, until you mentioned it. But now it is all I can see.

This has the capability to turn into a really bad nickname, because there is so much available word play.

Headline: "Toronto Tempo stem the bleeding"
Headline: "The Tempo have a mess to clean up"
Headline " The Tempo's leaky defense leads to on court embarrassment"

Big time pass.

If this is the name, I sorta like it. You can also do a lot with TT initials.

LOL. That can't be the logo. It's too awful. It looks like an auto parts manufacturer merged with the Indiana Pacers.
