How do I change my team's name?
How do I change my team's name?
You can rename your team at any time from Team Settings, in the Mingle Sport app or on Homebase. Only team admins can change the team name — see Who can change the team name? below. The same screen also lets you change the team abbreviation.
In the Mingle Sport app:
Open your team and go to the Team tab.
Open Team Settings.
Tap the pencil (Edit) in the upper right corner.
Change the team name — and the abbreviation, if you like.
Save your changes.
On Homebase (web):
Sign in to homebase.mingle.sport and open your team.
Go to Team Settings > General.
Edit the team name and, if you like, the abbreviation.
Select Save.
The new name applies immediately, everywhere your team appears, for everyone in the team.
Can I change my team abbreviation too?
Yes. The team abbreviation is the short form of your team name that Mingle Sport uses where there isn't room for the full name. You change it in the same place as the team name: Team Settings > Edit (pencil) in the app, or Team Settings > General on Homebase. Like the team name, it takes effect straight away.
Who can change the team name?
Only team admins can change the team name and abbreviation. If you open Team Settings and don't see the pencil (Edit) in the app, or the fields aren't editable on Homebase, your role doesn't include admin rights. Ask one of your team's admins to make the change, or to give you admin rights — see How do I set permissions for my team members?.
Where does the new team name show up?
Everywhere. Once saved, the new team name replaces the old one across the app and Homebase for all team members — your team page, the schedule, matches and the match feed, line-ups, chat, and anywhere else the team is shown. There's nothing to update by hand.
I want to change my own name in the team, not the team's name
That's your team profile, not the team. Open the You tab in the team and tap the pencil on your team profile card to change how you appear to other members of this team. See How do I change my profile? for the details, including the difference between your team profile and your Mingle Sport account.
