Best Team Names

I once played on a team called the "Gentlemen.":applause:

 

My cousins in Indiana attended Frankfort High School. Their team name: Frankfort Hot Dogs.

 

I think "Aggies" or "Boilermakers" has to be among the most unique.

The "Packers" aren't bad, either. Ha! A pun!

 

When I was a freshman in high school, our basketball team played in the state quarterfinals against the Hoopeston-East Lynn Cornjerkers.

 

Some years ago a radio station in Texas did a high school game of the week [football] and in their post game show they had a feature, "Most Unique Team Names." They located schools from all over the country with unique names and interviewed someone who could remember the selection or at least had some 'insider' knowledge. I seem to remember only 3 right now-- the Fighting Gorillas, the Scrappers, and the Artists. I don't remember where any of these were, except the Artists one was somewhere in California. The interviewer asked the school superintendent whether their opponents put up signs that say things like "Deface the Artists," and he said no, that in their area they "have good sportsmanship." Sounds like fun, huh?

I also remember going over my Texas Football magazines and noting the most appropriate team names. Some of those were:
Muleshoe Mules
Farmersville Farmers
Hamelin Pied Pipers
Winters Blizzards

 

How about.......

The Akron Zips?

Has something to do with "zippers" being invented in Akron ---- or something like that.

 

I think the Oregon Ducks is pretty funny. Nothing too fierce about a duck

 

Unless you are a MIGHTY Duck from Anaheim!

:laugh:

 

OOOOHHHH...I'm shaking! :laugh:

AFLAC!

Welcome to the BB (and earth?), btw. Would you like me to take you to my leader?

 

Thanks.

Nah......... I can meet your wife later.

 

:laugh: :thumbs: She'll appreciate that comment...

 

I attended Poca High School and we are called The Poca Dots.

Go Dots!!!!!

 

I played in an indoor soccer league years ago. We were the Rabid Chipmunks.

 

The first three years I played football in highschool, we didn't even have a name. We were just "the Palmyra High School Varsity Football Team".

My senior year, the chamber of commerce held a contest to name the team.

The winner (and this was the winner, mind you) was "the Pals". So we were the Palmyra Pals.

We took it on ourselves to change it to the Palominos and I think it's been changed in the twenty years since then to the Mustangs.

I voted for the Cougars.

 

:laugh:

That's awesome. Welcome to the BB. Hope you continue to provide this kind of comedy to the BB. :thumbs:

 

our AA baseball affiliate in Montgomery AL is named the "Biscuits."

They were ridiculed like crazy at the beginning.

Now, they can't keep enough merchandise on the shelves.

Another good one from minor-league baseball: "The Lansing Lugnuts."

 

The infamous Toledo Mud Hens

Georgetown Hoyas

Iona Gaels

And maybe the best of all, Auburn University, the team with three nicknames:
1. War Eagles
2. Plainsmen
3. Crimson Tigers

I still like the demon deacons. They played for many churches I was in. HAHAHAHAHHA. Or Wake Forest.

 

The Arkansas Razorbacks!

The only porcine mascot in collegiate athletics!
