Finally, someone gets it. Well played Townsville Blackhawks, who have somehow, against all odds, come up with a name for a team that isn't completely horrible, generic, forgettable, inane, bizarre, meaningless or a lethal cocktail of all six combined evils.

This is no mean feat, because the recent past in Australian sport has shown us that assigning a name to a new sporting franchise ranks somewhere between curing cancer and finding a Melbourne Cup winner at the Rockhampton yearling sales in terms of degrees of difficulty.

Which is all the more reason that the Blackhawks deserve to...er...take off in a big way. They will play in rugby league's Intrust Super Cup from 2015 and it doesn't even matter if they are completely rubbish, because they have managed to land themselves a really cool name.

Credit for the Blackhawks label goes to local Townsville firie Matt Cocker, who probably has a few decent nicknames of his own. It ticks almost all of my highly subjective boxes. Let's take a little wander down the list.
