New page

In the current era, team pseudonyms are *much* more common than individual pseudonyms. Please revise the article to focus on what. Individual pseudonyms are certainly worthy of a section, but IMO the article should be primarily about team pseudonyms.

 :I guess I'd say that if the team's actual identity is made explicit, then it's not a pseudonym at all, it's more like a team nickname (e.g. "Chicago/Maroons"). That said, at the link you provided, I don't see "Coldhug"'s identity being acknowledged—the string "Hotchkiss" does not appear on the page.
