Saskatchewan Roughriders is an abysmal nameI don't see the name "Tasmania" being an issue.
Plenty of sports teams in North America use their state/province name. Minnesota Twins, Minnesota Wild, Minnesota Vikings, Minnesota Timberwolves, Utah Jazz, Tennessee Titans, Texas Rangers, Colorado Rockies, Colorado Avalanche, Arizona Diamondbacks, Arizona Coyotes, Florida Panthers, New Jersey Devils, BC Bears, Saskatchewan Roughriders.
Closer to home, the NSW Waratahs and Queensland Reds aren't purely state representative teams in the rugby.
But if it remains an issue, call them the Tasmanian Devils, and always have their whole name said, like the Western Bulldogs.
