Surprisingly, the only one I really object to is the Lioness Line. I'm sure they could come up with something a bit more substantial than a semi successful football team.

I don't really object to any of them. It's their blandness that is the problem. Though I agree with jeremyp about the Lioness one being the obvious stand out.
