Your preferred geographic identifier for the Perth footy team

[cinders7]

I'm interested to find out what geographic descriptor footy fans would prefer to use for a future Perth club.
You have two votes.

-'Perth' is simple, instantly identifiable and 99% of Western Aussies live in Perth so it won't isolate anyone.
-'WA / Western Australia' is too unwieldy as a sports club name. Good luck creating any memorable chants.
-'West Coast' is a bit better but is getting close to something non-descriptive like 'Western'.
-'West / Western' is one of those horrible nothing names and we already have Wests Tigers in the comp. However spineless owners/marketing idiots seem to love these awful compass directions for some reason so it can't be ruled out.

Do you have another option?

Has to be Perth or West Coast. West Coast is already used by the AFL side but might catch on better because of that fact.

There's west coast fever too. I think Perth is the obvious choice

Given the strength of the game in the SW Id hope our name is a bit more inclusive than just Perth.
Having said that as long as it isnt 'The' somethings I dont really care!

A lot will depend on the actual name as well. WC Pirates sounds much better than Perth Pirates. Western Reds sounds better than WC Reds, Perth Bears sounds better than Western Bears, Perth Jets sounds better than WC Jets etc

Yeah that's true in regards to the mascot. But every combination that involves the bears Sucks.🫢

West Coast is used by Australian Fumbleball League
Western Australia is too long
Perth Pirates sounds a bit shit
Western (as in Western Reds) is too vague a name

WA Pirates sounds about right

Or follow the Warriors and Dolphins lead and call them the 'The Pirates' or the 'Cash Converters Pirates' or... The Bears

everything is being used by some sports club here other than WA.
West Coast: AFL and Netball
Perth: Soccer, Cricket, Basketball
Western: RU and Womens cricket

We used WA for our Reds relaunch in Bundy cup and SG Ball
