Why haven't we thought of this flag? It's already on the site!

It would be great to use a flag that looked like the Olympic flag or maybe the UN flag. That generic flag looks too much like the India flag for my liking. Surely there is someone here with a tiny amount of graphical talent that can design a flag?

One minor issue is what name database will they use for the Utopia players? I hope no-one takes offence but I would not like it if my entire team had Russian or Greek names. One suggestion is perhaps they could use names from the database of the original team for each team's starting players and draft picks. For the bot teams it matters a lot less.

Doesn't matter if your players will have English names as Greek managers will have Greek names, Russian managers will have Russian names, etc, so if you buy Utopian players you'll surely have some strange names (for your taste) and I'm sure there will be the same kind of players as any other new teams in other countries so you'll have to sell almost all of them and buy a bunch of foreign players to be successful, especially in the first 3-5 seasons until there will be well-trained Utopian players.

I recommend to use international names for Utopian players, like Peter, Adam, Daniel, David, etc as they can be found in almost all languages. For surnames it's a bit more complicated but short names (one syllable) are more likely acceptable for most of the managers, like Dunn, Fort, Gill, Pons, Wert, Knopp, etc.

For me, Utopia conveys images of tropical fruit and paradise.

There im suggesting that names should be a combination of fruit and vegebtales, of varying languages.

So you could end up with Mango Suarez, or Long Island Ice Tea Pho

There would be outrage if the database came up with Coconut Head.
