Harris clearly said that the name of the team would remain in place.
“I think this is now adopted by our team, by our culture, by our coaches staff, so we go with it,” said Harris. “Now, in this building, the names of the commanders means something. These are players who love football, are excellent in football, hit hard, mentally hard and large teammates. It is really significant that this name is develops in sense. “
