Harlequin can be an adjective meaning Colorful, multicolored, etc, and even looking at the noun specifically, both were performers that wore brightly colored clothing. And while neither directly fits the circus theme, both performers were typically for entertainment and comedic purposes, similar to clowns in the circus (And I thought calling the team "Team Clown" would be a bit too much).

Also, by your logic, what do rubies have to do with fairy tale heroines?
