Call of Duty League\u2019s New York Subliners deny \u201cPizza Rat\u201d name rumors Activision \/ PexelsIn just two years of existence, the Call of Duty League has had a ton of naming and ownership discussions. But the New York Subliners clarified that no, they do not actually want to be called the Pizza Rats. It\u2019s not every day that you get to talk about New York rodents and their affinity for cheese and marinara sauce. But it\u2019s the CDL offseason and that means that no content stone can go unturned. While people wonder about the rumored Washington team\u2019s potential team name (the Demon Cats?), the Subliners have set their own record straight. Former Subliners pros, Tommy \u2018ZooMaa\u2019 Paparatto and Dillon \u2018Attach\u2019 Price, seemed to suggest that NYSL initially considered \u201cPizza Rats\u201d for their team name. In response, co-founder Farzam Kamel has shut the speculation down. New York Subliners were never going to be the New York Pizza Rats New York Pizza Rats? We never actually suggested that did we? You guys are faded lol. @ZooMaa @Attach \u2014 NYXL Farzam (@FarzamKamel) October 18, 2021 Kamel had a simple rebuttal to the rumored cheesy rodent name: \u201cYou guys are faded.\u201d And it\u2019s easy to see why, as the replies included concern from current player (and presumed team captain) James \u2018Clayster\u2019 Eubanks. As Clayster jokingly expressed, \u201cif it was the Pizza Rats, I wouldn\u2019t have joined.\u201d New York Pizza Rats CDL alt jerseys? These would be incredible alt jerseys for NYSL https:\/\/t.co\/gueXGpmeCk \u2014 Jake Patterson (@RealPatterson50) October 18, 2021 Still, others are kind of into the team name. As we poked fun at the idea of Pizza Rat alternative jerseys, another user \u2014 \u2018Jake Patterson\u2019 \u2014 responded in agreement. The Pizza Rat mythology in New York is well-documented, so it\u2019s easy to understand why people could get behind the concept. At the very least, it could work for an alt jersey even if it\u2019s not the default branding. For what it\u2019s worth, NYSL\u2019s navy and yellow branding is considered by many to be among the CDL\u2019s best. But the rumors have lit the fire for another potential colorway: grey, yellow, and red.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
