Community-Wide Contest Announced to Name “Our Town’s Football Team”

ERIE, PA (January 5, 2010) – A ‘storm is coming’ with ‘blizzard’ potential and an adrenaline-‘pulse’ that is going to “punish’ the competition. Erie Professional Football, Inc. announces a community-wide contest to name the new professional arena football team.

The new ownership group announced in December that a new team name will replace the RiverRats to best reflect Erie and its hometown pride. The contenders are:

Erie Storm
Erie Blizzard
The Pulse of Erie
The Erie Punishers

Bill Stafford, ownership group spokesperson elaborated, “The new team’s mantra has been ‘our town, our team’. What better way to successfully introduce the new team than with a team name chosen by the community. It’s the perfect combination - hometown heroes/players … hometown pride … hometown ‘ownership’ of the team by the community with the team being named by the community.”

Anyone can participate by visiting www.ErieProfessionalFootball.com and casting a vote for our town’s new team name. Or votes can be mailed to Erie Professional Football, Inc. 2047 West 12th Street; Erie, PA 16505. The deadline to vote is January 12. Our town’s team name will be announced Thursday, January 14, 2010.
