    New Guardians

    Team » New Guardians appears in 72 issues.

    A team consisting of representatives from all 7 lantern corps: Green (Will), Blue (Hope), Red (Rage), Orange (Avarice), Yellow (Fear), Violet (Love), and the Indigo Tribe (Compassion). The unification of these corps is necessary to destroy Black Lanterns.

    Can we get a name change?

    Are you serious? Rainbow Rodeo? We couldn't use the New Guardians tag, or merge this info w/ the pre-existing, and quite dead New Guardians page we already have?

    I don't see the point of merging it with the New Guardians page since the two teams have not a single thing in common. And I'm not sure the new Guardians would be a more appropriate name either since the only place we've seen that name was on a single cover. But yeah, I don't like the name either.

    This pretty sums it all up, thanks :) 
     
    Yes, it's a strangely camp name, that doesn't suit the seriousness of the situation.  However, it's the only name that fits.

    I don't know if it's so bad that it's awesome or just bad... I'm going to say bad.

    I know what you mean. I've been considering picking up some GL titles, but then I saw this and began to doubt it's awesomeness. Is this what they are actually called in the book?

    I believe in the book they are called the New Gaurdians, though I could be mistaken.

    So which is it?  They obviously are a group, but what are they really called?  Does anyone have any scans as reference?

    The only on panel name given is the rainbow rodeo, but this was still done by Jordan as a joke. So while it is most certainly not official, its the only one we've got. 
     

    On a side note, perhaps the staff would consider adding an alternate names option for teams. I've edited several teams which are known under several designations and I feel this should be mentioned on the side rather than just in the bio...

    Thanks.  Then until any time when they're given an official name, they stay as the Rainbow Rodeo. 
     
    And yeah, I know that it's something that's been in the works for some time.  I can't wait to have an Alias feature for teams, objects, creators, locations, etc...

    Their supposed to be the New Guardians, from what's been said on the cover's and the next storyline coming up, though i don't think we'll see it in Print until then. But there has to be something better than Rainbow rodeo, Lantern Coalition's been used, as well as All-Lantern Corps like ASKwhy said, but this was a joke, not then actual name. They were also called the Skittle Squad, that clearly ain't da right name either.

    There are too many 'possible' names.  It stays until an official name is used.

    Yet everywhere else is already using the New Guardians moniker. So shouldn't that suffice?

    funny joke. wish id thought of it. but if i may inform that the DC characters bio's on this site, especially
    Batman, Flash and Green Lantern are the most looked at pages by users and visitors combined next
    to Comicvines front page. just saying.
    DC in their own solicits and on their site calls this team the New Guardians.

    not to be snooty or something, but theres probably alot of folks checking the internet
    to see info about the team that 
     
    DC Comics officially calls New Guardians
     
    alot considering how popular of potential hits and users passed. the name of this
    team really needs to be changed to the correct one. 
     
    BTW: theyre other nickname is the Light Brigade, which has been used more often than
    Rainbow Rodeo as well

    I gotta agree.  Now the Blackest Night is over and Sayd's comment about much needing to be discussed about the future of all the Corps, I'm pretty sure the official name will be the New Guardians.   From the solits, it looks like the group will stay together...at least through Brightest Day. 
     
    And I really don't like "Rainbow Rodeo".  Besides, as it's been stated it was a smart remark by Hal Jordan, a snide comment, a throwaway line, etc, etc  ;)

    Until there is an official declaration on the group's name, it will not change.   
     
    It has nothing to do with whether someone likes it or not.  It has nothing to do with it being a stupid remark from Hal Jordan.   
     
    So far this is the only name the team has been given.  So unless DC officially gives the team a new name, then they stay known as the Raqinbow Rodeo, no matter how camp or hippy it sounds.

    theyve actually been given two names aside from that, both used more frequently.
    Light Brigade as another nickname, and their official name is New Guardians.

    @CATMANEXE: If that's the official name, then I'm happy to change it.  However, from past problems, I need to see scanned evidence to confirm it really is the official name (and not just the popular opinion ;)

    @CATMANEXE: I'm convinced. Pretty weird that this will be DC's second group with the same name. But this thread will forever remind us that they can also be called the Rainbow Rodeo........
