What are some downright terrible team names?

Denver Nuggets- That's just too easy to make fun of

New York Knickerbockers- WTF? Add both Sox teams from baseball. Clothing names are fucking DUMB

Golden State Warriors- Because they're from San Francisco and yet apparently they represent all of California, even with two other teams from LA and one from Sacramento. Same thing goes for the Florida Marlins vs the Rays.

What else?

Made sense when they were the New Orleans Jazz.

After all, the LA Lakers makes no sense either. The Minneapolis Lakers made sense, but again, regional names should stay in their original regions.

The Browns helmets are plain orange, and they have a "throwback" helmet where the uniform number is on the side.

This probably explains it

Wiki:
In 1995, owner Abe Pollin announced he was changing the team's name because Bullets had acquired violent overtones that had made him increasingly uncomfortable over the years. The final straw was the assassination of his longtime friend, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.[1] A contest was held to choose a new name and the choices were narrowed to the Dragons, Express, Stallions, Sea Dogs, or Wizards.[2] On May 15, 1997, the Bullets officially became the Washington Wizards. The change generated some controversy because Wizard is a rank in the Ku Klux Klan.[2] A new logo was unveiled and the team colors were changed from the traditional red, white and blue to blue, black and bronze, the same colors as the Washington Capitals, a hockey team also owned by Pollin (the Capitals were traditionally red, white, and blue and would return to that scheme in 2007)
The Sea Dogs would have been badass!

Golden State Warriors- Because they're from San Francisco and yet apparently they represent all of California, even with two other teams from LA and one from Sacramento. Same thing goes for the Florida Marlins vs the Rays.

The Warriors started in SF and then played in Oakland. There was some overlap where they played in both so they wanted to remain regional and not be tied to one city so not to offend the other. Oakland residents really want them to change it to Oakland and consider a slap to the face they won't.

They considered at 1 point rotating their games between Fresno, Oakland, SJ and SF. That never materialized.

I thought they should've called themselves the Oklahoma City Twisters/Cyclones. Something related to the area. I know the Tulsa minor league team is the Tulsa Drillers (Oil ), was kinda cool. Keeping it local.

What about the Oklahoma City Sooners?

Probably conflict of interest with the College.

They should have moved to Baltimore.

The Bullets started in Baltimore then moved to Washington.

From the USFL:

- Breakers (Boston, New Orleans, Portland)
- Maulers (Pittsburgh)
- Gold (Denver)
- Showboats (Memphis)
- Express (L.A.)

Well, if we're rolling high school nicknames now you'll be hard pressed to find one better than the Kickapoos of Owensville IN.

Made sense when they were the New Orleans Jazz.

Should have changed the name when they moved.

After all, the LA Lakers makes no sense either. The Minneapolis Lakers made sense, but again, regional names should stay in their original regions.

To what? It's Utah....

"Here comes your starting line up for the Utah Salts/Mormons/Flats/Whitey's/Blanks???

Can anyone come up with something good?

Let's see Utah is the Bee State and keeping with the "zz" theme how about the Utah Buzz? The cheerleaders could be the "Honey".

I know it's lame, but this is Utah...give me a break.

Nice Call I like it, although the cheerleaders would be wearing ankle length skirts.

- Gold (Denver)
- Showboats (Memphis)
- Express (L.A.)The fuck's wrong with Breakers and Showboats?

Unfortunately, yes, there is. There also used to be a Major Indoor Soccer League team known as the Wichita Wings ...

The Patriots like to claim a whole region

They started as the Boston Patriots. When they moved down to Foxboro they switched to New England to broaden their appeal.

New England Patriots --- Boston Red Soxes
Denver Broncos --- Colorado Rockies.

Both Boston and Denver are cities, and the land mass of Colorado is probably larger than the 6 New England states combined.

The Showboats were Reggie White's first team.

Maybe the Chiefs should bring in Hayden Fox???

Anyone mentioned the Redskins yet?

Extremely offensive and also representing our nations Capital? WTF???

Savages and Redskins -- what an effing great way to teach our children racial intolerance!
