Customized Teams Should Be Reset

... when the player doing the customizing abandons the team. When the customizations are weird, they get avoided by players who are smarter than me -- which is just about anybody! The Moscow team in CUST-21 has been languishing for as long as I can remember.

New owners are free to customize the team in the offseason.

Except it's not quite free. I shouldn't have to pay to stop being a Jedi. Now that I have decided to stay, I care a little more.

I didn't say it was free, but that you are free to do so.

Didn't you notice the team name before you took over?

If it matters that much (and you don't want to use credits to change it), why even take over the team in the first place?

I like the fact that the customizations remain because it increases the likelihood that more teams in a custom league will have something other than the generic / boring names.

If the smart thing to do is avoid custom teams, then my original suggestion holds. You might like to look at them, but I have gotten tired of running them.

I was not greatly offended by the team name. I have run it for 2+ seasons now. I was offended by arbitrarily getting assigned a profile picture with which I had nothing to do. I also did not realize that I would be stuck with this team name forever. If you insist that I should have known what I was getting into, I can only bow to your superior experience and intellect in that regard.

I will not claim that I am going to leave. You are stuck with me. Apparently, you are stuck with the Millenium Falcon too.

I don't see why they can't revert back to a generic team name. Hey I've paid for custom team names and some troll took over two of them that I paid for.
If one team comes up in a league that you want to join, the name should not be off putting and having the option to reset on team application should be available. Personally I would prefer that when I hit the 'abandon' button it reverts back to default.
