I would probably expect a Buffalo team to be called the Bills 
(if St. Louis can have football and baseball teams with the same name, so can
Buffalo).

Now that the NASL is gone, the Vancouver Whitecaps is a possibility.
If Vancouver does get a franchise, their PCL club would probably be
forced to move, and so that name may be free for the taking... if
the Brewers let the club owners have it.
