So, as I was duly fooled by the use of "PDA" as shown in this thread, I would like to hear from folks who know about when clubs can legally and, if legal, ethically, used these and similar designations in team names. For example, I saw a couple of clubs use the name "Pre-SYL" in the team name, but the next year went a different route. Same with "Pre-EGSL". Are there trademark rules that apply for something like "PDA"? What about something like "Pre-NPL" where participation the next year would be on a case-by-case basis for the applicant team rather than club-level?
I note that I am not totally opposed to a "pre" designation to communicate aspirations, as long as there is basis for it.
