Has any sports club, professional or otherwise, taken such a surprising, even innovative name? But a friend pointed out that we already have the ‘White Sox’ and the ‘Red Sox,’ so why not the ‘Blue Jackets’? Why not, indeed? A blue jacket, with blue pants and blue suede shoes, must make a dandy outfit there
