Amen. Try to make the Saskatchewan RoughRiders into something under 20. My friend's "Extraordinary Gentlemen" are now just "Extraordinary Men". Even 25 would be tons better.

25 is too few. 35 would solve most issue. What a stupid restriction in the first place. Who the **** cares if a team has 30 letters? Stupid restriction

why settle for 25? How hard is it to allow 35?

My friend Brad's "Extraordinary Gentlemen" are the Extraordinary Men. I gave up on the Saskatchewan Roughriders (25 letters). 25 would give so many more options than 20.

Yeah, 20 characters is a joke. I've e-mailed yahoo several times over the years trying to get this some attention. Please change it.

I was not even given a chance to name my team. When I created it, the site named my team for me as (User ID)'s Team. Pathetic. Awful. Disgusting. As I type this comment, I see no place where I can even identify myself so it will show up as anonymous. marceagleye is posting the comment

so why is this fix taking so long? 20 characters is absurdly short. NO OTHER FANTASY SITE POUTS SUCH ABSURD LIMITATIONS ON TEAM NAME LENGTH. But of course... I forgot... Yahoo doesn't care at all what its customers think or want. Hey Yahoo: GFY!

I had the best team name for my team in my espn league, but when I transferred to Yahoo I had to put it in without spaces. More characters would be better.

You'd just have to cram them together like the hashtag phrases I see.

Fully agree with the comments...one of the fun things about Fantasy football is coming up with funny (punny) clever team names. Almost none of them are 20 characters or less - pretty much all good team names are between 20 - 40 characters. Please up team names to at least 40 characters...
Also noticed that you 'upgraded' your Fantasy Football app again. Shall we assume it will crash and be un-usable on Thursday night during game and totally useless on Sunday. Hopefully you actually did some user testing this time and it won't crash once it gets any heavy volume of users....

Agreed, my league competes on creative names, but this character limit really takes away any chances of creativity.

Team names like Bradshaw Shank Redemption cannot be used due to the 20 character restriction. Lets make this work

I have no idea whats up with the copy above. It was not written this way. Somehow, Yahoo scrambled the text after post. Nice. What I was trying to say is that its disappointing that Yahoo limits the creativity with fantasy sports team names due to the 20 character restriction. It needs to be 25 or 30 characters at the very least. Thanks

Twenty is plenty. Your team name should not be an essay
