I tried searching this out with no luck so, how do you guys identify and call out differnt fronts? Last year we called even fronts such as 4-3 or 4-2 and odd fronts based on the alignment of the defensive tackles.

We don't need to call them out. As a zone run team, we just care if our linemen are covered/uncovered. That's why I love it!

We run zone but we still call out the structure of a front. I think it helps when you do some schemes that are not pure zone.
We use the mascots of our opponents and try to label the following traditional fronts with a mascot's name
For example:
4-4 (or 4-2) = Husky
3-4 (or 5-2) = Cougar
5-3 (or 46) = Bear
4-3 = Eagle
3-3 Stack = Panther
We've been doing this for 3 years and I think it helps in the teaching and learning of blocking. We intro all fronts during Spring and Fall Pre season - We may not see a BEAR front until Week 5 but the kids have some basic recognition retrieval because they've seen it before. We can also say things like, "Boys, we'll block trap vs. Eagle just like we do vs Husky."
Our OLine have so many numbers runnin' through their heads (Playcalls, snap counts, etc.) that once we went to mascot names, the fronts easier to memorize.
