I'm sure everyone in Jacksonville recognized the irony back in 1995 when Carolina and Jacksonville entered the league. I'm only noticing it now because I finally realized there's a pro football team in town. I'd never even thought about the Magic name until I wrote this article. So what about those Jaguars?
Based on recent events, as well as actual team performance, perhaps the Jacksonville Power Outage (and the no-lie, we had a power surge AS I WAS WRITING THIS SENTENCE). Or the Blackouts, maybe. While Electrical Failure might be a bit long, Disruption isn't bad. Recent events would also make The Flood or Storm Surge viable, but I think it's too soon.
Of course, the best option is really to ask for a trade. Blake Bortles and some leftover electric generators to Carolina for Ryan Kalil, the Panthers name, and Sir Purr (the mascot). If you are really into alliteration or naming a team after an animal that hasn't lived in the region for 10,000 years, then the Jaguars are the best option, and congratulations.
Here's a list of some other animals Jacksonville could tap from prehistoric times: American Lion, Bear-Dog, Bison, Camel, Dire Wolf, Giant Capybara, Gomphothere, Giant Armadillo, Giant Beaver, Giant Short-Faced Bear, Glyptodont, Scimitar Cat, Giant Ground Sloth, Three-Toed Horse, Prehistoric Horses, Rhino, Giant Land Tortoise, Agatized Coral, Tapir, Peccary, Manatee, Dugong, Porpoise, Terror Bird, Prehistoric Sharks. These are some way-awesome names!
Since I played baseball for The Milwaukee Beavers, I love the Giant Beaver idea. However, I also cannot argue with the Terror Birds or Scimitar Cats.
