A reminder that this poll is advisory and the final choice is up to the Chicago WPS Board of Directors...not saying that we would do this, but we could pick a name that has already been eliminated or go off the board totally and pick a name that wasn't even voted on...like Chicago Bootleggers for instance - whaddya think of that one? Let me know by commenting below. Thanks.

Bootleggers is perfect! Where was that name when the competition began?
It was suggested after we started the Sweepstakes. Anyone else prefer Bootleggers to the three finalists?
