I still think the best choice is Keel Line Bridge

either of these are better than The Sphincter Pioneer Bridge or whatever rubbish the council will end up coming up with

it should have a geographical link or a famous name related to sunderland, or something that links it to sunderland in some way

NEW BRIDGE NAME
BY MARK METCALFE
Let’s name the New Wear Footbridge after SAFC founder James Allan because its opening will connect the SAFC of today to the spot where it was formed.
When the 250m New Wear Footbridge opens later this year it will help create a smooth and safe connection for pedestrian traffic from the city centre to the Stadium of Light and will eventually bring together Sunderland's Sheepfolds area with Keel Square in the city centre.
Hopes are that the £30m+ structure will help spur thousands of new jobs and homes over the next decade and during which Sunderland AFC will celebrate its 150th anniversary.
With this mind then is it not time that the founder of the club James Allan was publicly recognised in the City and so why not name the new bridge after him?
The location of the bridge is also perfect to name it after Allan, who became SAFC secretary, because it is as close as can be to the former Rectory Park Schools.
Today’s ISIS pub would have been directly across from Rectory Park School, just a few hundred yards from where the new bridge will start on the south side. As such the new bridge will connect today’s club with its original history and for that we have James Allan to thank.

He may have founded safc but didn't he bugger off and start sunderland albion?

Should be named after someone without any negative side. Perhaps the dave the rave bridge?

Naah, no thanks. It'll probably be something neutral anyway as in not football related, not named after a company and not a person
