New name for Barloworld?

Has anybody got any suggestions for the Barloworld management as to what to re-christen their team following the departure of Barloworld as main sponsor?
Cycling news are calling it “the squad-formerly-known-as-Barloworld” this morning but that’s it bit too long to go across the front of a jersey.
We’ve had Slipstream and High Road; we’ve still got 100% Me.
What else could we have?

Bianchi? They stepped into to support uberdoper Ullrich when Coast ran away.
If you're reading this Mr Corti, install an anti-doping screening programme pronto.0 -

I'd agree with that. Haven't the ex 'Saunier Duval' team now known as Scott kept all the same Management?? Unbelievable!!All Road/ Gravel: tbcWinter: tbcMTB: tbcRoad: tbc"Look at the time...." "he's fallen like an old lady on a cruise ship..."0 -

Barloworld remains for 2008
By Gregor Brown
Claudio Corti's team will continue to race under the Barloworld name for the remainder of 2008 despite previous reports that the South African sponsor would remove its visibility at the end of the Tour de France.
"We will change the jersey a little, but Barloworld will remain," said Team Manager Corti to Cyclingnews Wednesday morning, three days after the Tour de France.
Barloworld announced it was leaving the team following the doping case of Moisés Dueñas. French Gendarmerie escorted Dueñas out of the Tour the morning after the rest day in Pau, July 16, when informed of his positive test for Erythropoietin (EPO) stemming from stage four's time trial in Cholet. A search of Dueñas' room revealed banned substances.
"Remember, it is a problem with the rider, not the team. Look at the recent Marta Bastianelli case – she did it on her own, not with a team."'This week I 'ave been mostly been climbing like Basso - Shirley Basso.'0 -
