Help Me Name a Development Team in My IS Department

There is a wopping 25$ prize in it for me if they choose my submission.

The team will be developing a replacement for a legacy Merchandising system with the IBM product center application.

Team X

or Project X would both acceptable variations.

Names that sound particularly cool, or mean offensive things in foreign laguages are a plus.
