Romulus: I'm sure the Zinzinnatians will like that name but it carrys the possible drawback of being taken as a Star Trek reference.
Remus makes think of Rebus....which might work well.
I really like Wes' suggestion of Liberte....perhaps with a pine tree logo on the badge--or, at the risk of Francopholly, ....the image of one of those a "revolting" touques. Duluth Pack could produce a wearable one & Rivendell could offer it as a bonus for Liberte owners.
