How about the PNG Bombers
And it would annoy Essendon
Could probably work.
The original Digicel Cup team from Lae (1990-2012) was called the Lae Bombers.
It got replace by the Lae Tigers in 2013.
The Bombers moniker was used because Lae once housed bomber squadrons for both the Japs and afterwards also for the Allies.
Cyclones is my pick here….I'm starting to think maybe the Team should be named after any of the many natural disasters that hits PNG from time to time.
Maybe won't be popular but the Rabaul Gurias in the Digicel Cup is named after Earthquakes because their volcanic island constantly has earthquakes and the odd volcanic eruption.
So maybe;
PNG Cyclones
PNG Tsunamis
PNG King Tides
PNG Frost
PNG Landslide
PNG Drought
PNG Floods
PNG Fire
PnG Frost feels like an oxymoron, any away team visiting, will not think of png as frosty, especially with the humidityI'm starting to think maybe the Team should be named after any of the many natural disasters that hits PNG from time to time.

Triple meaning
- RL defense line
- WW2 line against the Japanese
- current line against an unnamed rival to the north.
Give the logo a general military feel to really weave the patriotism in with the Australian alliance
then take this image and give it a bit of a Proven-Summons vibe as the centre of the bradge

Maybe PNG doesn't frame it's identity through lens of Australia?!
I also think pippen means we shouldn't be involved in naming their team, they finally have their own team, let's give them something they are themselves proud of... if its pirates, defenders, scorpions, etc then so be itno, but:
a) every nation frames itself through a major war/conflict and PNG only really has one.
B) when you pay $600mil, i imagine you would get a bit of a say in branding. This would be to the benefit of the aus-png aliance to create a new self-image as guardians of Australian.
it is hardly an insult, it is literally framing them as a semi-parental figure “taking care” of the Australians. And that is not exactly a bad idea to promote

They wouldn't have "gifted" 600 mil without that condition thoI don't know if your first point is true. I don't know if certain tribes in PNG assisting Aussie soldiers is important to the national identity of PNG. There's hundreds of different tribal groups in PNG and the country did seek and successfully gain independence from us.
Giving somebody a gift, but telling them what to do with it is not the best way to gain respect and trust. Probably the reason why condition related to China shouldn't have been part of deal either.
