Before we start to make shirts and get this group seriously rolling, we need to make sure the name is what we want. Personally, I don't care for the Renegade term because the first definition:
1: a deserter from one faith, cause, or allegiance to another
2: an individual who rejects lawful or conventional behavior
Synonyms: apostate, defector, deserter, recreant
Antonyms: loyalist
Basically, Renegade means traitor. Also, the Rubber City Rollergirls use it as one of their team's names.
The name Rubber City Renegades ended up being the winner of this poll: http://akronsportsnow.com/the-last-final-v...pporters-group/
and it's been discussed on Zipsnation before: http://zipsnation.org/forums//index.php?showtopic=21400
Now we're discusing it on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/groups/194378190573670/
