41mm submariner green bezel should be called the Riddler

Anyone else agree?

I think Cermit followed by Green Lantern sounded the best to me so far.

I think why not just let it go:-) It will have a name and it won't be voted out from here.

Why does it need a new nickname. The Pepsi has always been pepsi, with every iteration, why would Kermit be any different?

Not bad
Superhero theme (nicknames are all silly anyway)
And many wonder why they dropped the green dial
???

The new half-Hulk and half-Smurf don't look as good with black dials.

I like Yoda. Both Kermit and Yoda were made by Jim Henson. They follow sequentially in history, and Yoda looks like a bigger Kermit with pointy ears. If not Yoda, then I vote Shrek.

Green Lantern works for me, too. It has the Green Circle look to it. It is a green ring, after all.

I vote for just 'Kermit'.

Some of the posters have a point. When the ceramic Pepsi was released, we still called it Pepsi. Why should this be any different?

Let's just call the old one as the aluminum Kermit, the non-ceramic Kermit, or the old Kermit.
