The Giants and Jets are scheduled to play their annual preseason game on August 27, but the summer showdown between the crosstown/in-state/across-the-parking lot rivals may be losing its name.

MetLife, the insurance behemoth whose name is on the stadium the Giants and Jets share, is reportedly considering phasing out the use of iconic Peanuts character Snoopy in its advertising, according to a report by The New York Post.

And if MetLife is no longer rolling with Snoopy, can they really keep calling the Giants-Jets preseason game the Snoopy Bowl?

According to The Post, MetLife marketing chief Esther Lee is "leaning against" continuing to use the cartoon character, and Snoopy's presence in ads could start to fade out as soon as this week.

Getting rid of the Snoopy Bowl name would be another blow to the yearly preseason game. Things were considerably tamer in 2015, the first edition of the Snoopy Bowl since the Jets parted ways with the game's biggest champion, former head coach Rex Ryan. So perhaps it's fitting that the name, and the iconic Snoopy trophy, will quietly go into the night a year after the man who basically sacrificed Mark Sanchez's career in order to try to win the game moved on.

But then again, players seem to get into the spirit of competition. Sometimes to rather silly extents.

For now, Giants and Jets fans should be sure to contact MetLife and voice their concerns about the potential termination of the cherished August tradition. Or not care at all. The latter is more likely.

But if they need a new trophy idea, we've got the perfect idea:

Arguably the greatest moment in Giants-Jets history.

Ah, memories.
