Can we please get a few dozen more teams named "The Wildcats". Sorry K-State fans, but "Wheatshockers" is more Kansan...

[Mark M]

I know it's not professional... but, I have to laugh the UMR Miners' sole football victory this season came against the Upper Iowa Peacocks.

ROFL A football team... called the Peacocks. Classic.

I think we have a winner.

Omaha's Golden Spike's short lived rename of the Omaha Royals ranks up there, but of course then they added the Omaha Beef arena football team.

[KC Jones]

duh

Packers

[jspchief]

White/Red sox....you're named after stockings for chrissakes.

And Crimson Tide gets my vote for team that sounds most like a menstrual cycle.

[HolmeZz]

My vote's for Beef.

[Miles]

NHL has a bunch of em...Atlanta Thrashers is probably the worst.

[Swanman]

This isn't a professional team's name, but back in the 60s and 70s the high school in Pekin, Illinois (near Peoria) had the team nickname Chinks.

[HolmeZz]

Jazz is awfully gay.

Don't know if Hawaii's the Rainbow Warriors now. I know they used to just be the Rainbows.

Pros: Anaheim Mighty Ducks Hockey bites the big one. The guy on the Tampa Bay Buc's old helmet was pretty gay...thank God they got rid of that!
Bad High School team is the Hickman High Kewpies (Columbia, MO)...mascot named after the Kewpie doll! ecccch!

The Omaha area has all sorts of issues, they also have a HS with the Benson Bunnies.

Now Pekin's nicknames is the Dragons, so they're still going for the Asian theme, just a tad more politically correct. Their baseball uniforms have Dragons written across the front in Kung Fu Theater lettering.

Before the MLS KC team was the Wizards, they were the 'Wiz'...

Pretty bad.

The Stanford "Cardinal".

I live out here and STILL don't know WTF that is.

[Surtain23]

The Patriots and Tom Brady get my vote....

[Surtain23]

Can't forget about the 2 SF teams: Giants/49'ers

[Miles]

The Stanford "Cardinal".

Hell if i know and and the tree on the logo doesnt help either.

[Swanman]

The Stanford "Cardinal".

I live out here and STILL don't know WTF that is.

I think they're named after the color, similar to the Harvard Crimson. Pretty original, but also pretty stupid.

Sounds like you can personally vouch for that, Mr. O'Jones?

:toast: :BLVD:

[tyton75]

Is being a "49er" some kind of homosexual slang... you know.. like "Dirty Sanchez" or "Donkey Punch"?

[Brando]

What about the Hokies?
Your coach has a turkey neck and your mascot appears to be a turkey.
Very hokey..errr...I mean gay

[Brando]

Actually 49er is slang for the Rusty Trombone.

The UC Santa Cruz "Banana Slugs" seems pretty gay...

[yunghungwell]

The guy on the Tampa Bay Buc's old helmet was pretty gay

So was the "patriot" on the old New England helmet.

[yunghungwell]

Minor league baseball is full of dumb names. For example, the Cedar Rapids Kernels with an ear of corn on their hats. The Swing of the Quad Cities? WTF. They used to be the Quad City River Bandits and had one of the coolest caps in the minors.

I didn't remember him looking quite that mean. I guess maybe my memory was stuck on the uniform color scheme. Too much white.

[MOhillbilly]

Spfld-Ozark Mnt. Ducks is the gayest ****in' sports name ever.

[Ultra Peanut]

Before the MLS KC team was the Wizards, they were the 'Wiz'...

Pretty bad."We're the Wiz! Nobody beats us!"

[gblowfish]

Classic MSL matchup: KC Vs. Dallas: the "Wiz-Burn" game...a urologist's dream matchup.

Tampa Bay's old helmet with the poncy pirate guy is attached. Guy looks like something out of a Broadway Musical...definitely NOT NFL material!

[Ultra Peanut]

Tampa Bay's old helmet with the poncy pirate guy is attached. Guy looks like something out of a Broadway Musical...definitely NOT NFL material!Yeah... you always got the impression that the pre-snap contact between the QB and the center was his favorite part of the game.

[Brando]

Yeah... you always got the impression that the pre-snap contact between the QB and the center was his favorite part of the game.

I say they should bring back those uniforms and go XFL with the names on the back.
Then the TB QB can have "Tossed Salad Man" accross the back of his jersey.

I think Illinois state is called the Solukies named after a fast dog.

"We're the Wiz! Nobody beats us!"
Always had to love it when the Wiz played the Burn and Olbermann and Patrick were doing SportsCenter... those were the days.

There's a high school in Frankfort, Indiana.... and yes, their team nickname is the Hot Dogs....

[Calcountry]

I think Southern Illinois state is called the Salukis named after a fast dog.
Thought I was kidding. Here is a Saluki. Here is a link to Southern Illinois

Southern Illinois Salukis (http://siusalukis.collegesports.com/)What about it? I thought SIU was fairly well-known. They're I-AA in football, but a pretty decent basketball school.

I never heard of them before Fresno State played them in an NIT tourney once, or was it Stanford, or UOP. I can't remember now, its just I thought at the time, "what in the fug is a Saluki???" Never heard of it before then. Now, I own a pet store, and no one YET has ever said, "I own a Saluki" to me in my 16 years in the business.

[Ultra Peanut]

Always had to love it when the Wiz played the Burn and Olbermann and Patrick were doing SportsCenter... those were the days.On the subject of MLS, here are the names I like:

DC United - Pretty much the perfect blend of a Euro-style name with something that actually has a meaning; Catchy, too.

San Jose Earthquakes - Thank God they went back to this... the original "Clash" name was awful. One of the supporters' sections is still called the Casbah, which is kind of neat, despite the suckiness of the Nike moniker.

Chicago Fire - Singular, but it works really well and actually has roots in the city's history. Glad they battled Nike over the original plans to name the team the "Rhythm." Yikes.

Tolerable names:

Metrostars - Hated it when it was NY/NJ Metrostars, but now, it's actually flexible and kind of catchy... you can call them the Metros, or if you're a eurosnob, you can call them Metro.

Kansas City Wizards - Better than Wiz, without a doubt, but not much of a leap, either. Not the best name, not the worst, just... meh.

LA Galaxy - Still singular, but it makes sense. Stars may have been better, but that's still not too sparkling, and could have been confusing with the Metros, so they went with this. The crest sucks, but the typeface is nice, at least (GALAXY).

Colorado Rapids - It works, and it's not a singular name, but it's still a bit meh... maybe that's just because the team's so damn boring, though.

Downright crappy names:

Columbus Crew - Hey, look, it's the Village People on their crest! Oy. Sad name, sad logo, stadium that's going to look increasingly spartan in comparison to the new MLS stadiums springing up around the league... only saving grace is that their uniforms aren't bad, and don't follow the same old boring-assed blue, red, or blue and red format most of the other teams have. And get this, they actually wear yellow or black jersies on the road, instead of the boring white most of the rest of the league wears when traveling.

New England Revolution - Sucky name, sucky crest, boring blue or white uniforms, sucky stadium (the Razor's great for big Pats crowds, but as stale as year-old bread for Revs games... something not helped by the dumb moves of the marketing staff). Hey, at least they can be called the Revs. :rolleyes:

New names:

FC Dallas - Will be the new name of the Burn as they move into their new stadium next year. Pretty much a blank slate, but still better than Burn. The Flaming Cow crest has a "96" on it, recognizing the first year of the league's play, so if they're going full-on Euro-style, why not name the club FC Dallas 96? Now THAT's a name worthy of the Bundesliga.

CD Chivas USA - Just announced yesterday as the official new club name of the Chivas (it means Goats) expansion team (Club Deportivo Chivas USA, operated by the owners of CD Guadalajara). Pretty much inaccessible to non-Latinos, but they're catering to the Mexican/-American market, anyways. And there are a TON of Chivas fans in LA. We're talking Lakers-level fandom here, which is what Vergara and crew are hoping to tap into. He doesn't care about you stinkin' gringos who don't even like soccer in the first place.

Salt Lake... uh, whatever they're going to be - If it's Real Salt Lake, it'll instantly become the worst name in the league. If it's Highlanders or Alliance SLC, it actually won't be too terrible, especially in comparison. If it's Glory or some sort of other WNBA/WUSA name, it'll be right down there with Real... at least the teams formed a decade ago have that excuse to fall back on. "It was a different time back then. Nike wanted us to be 'cool' and 'hip' and attract the crowd that was into those 'rad' skateboarders."

I might also add that Montgomery Biscuits is one of the best names in the history of minor league baseball.

[Ultra Peanut]

I mean, come on... how can you not love this?

[whoman69]

I think that any team name that is singular is gay, Heat, Magic, and half of the US soccer league.

[VonneMarie]

Colts, who's afraid of a pony?

Broncos nuff said.

Pacers, WTF is that?

Cardinals, just gay.

Vikings, give me a break.

Kings, again, WTF?

Ducks, after a Disney movie? Good grief!

Wild, just stupid.

A's, don't even know what that is.

That's all for now.

[Calcountry]

A's, don't even know what that is
It is short for Athletics, it is also the first letter in the Alphabet. What up, didnt' you go to skool.

[dilligaf]

(With lisp) I think it's the Oilers and the Packers.

[VonneMarie]

Any team named after a cat, except Mizzou. Any team racially insensitive.

Magic, Saints, White Sox (I just hate them,) Lakers, Yankees, Chargers, Padres...

[ChiefsFire]

hey how bout the USC Trojans?? for gods sake they are named after a condom WTF

[Hammock Parties]

Come on guys. The Expos are by far the winner. Their uniforms are even gayer.

[sondevil]

Im too lazy to look and see if anyone has mentioned the Maple Leafs yet. Don't know if you can get much gayer (is that a word) than that.

[chiefsfan987]

Philadelphia Phillies

[VonneMarie]

Any teams named after birds.

That's it.

[Calcountry]

Im too lazy to look and see if anyone has mentioned the Maple Leafs yet. Don't know if you can get much gayer (is that a word) than that.
Now you are insulting a whole country when you say that. We dare not piss upon the Canucks, I mean, who is it that constantly boos during our anthem?

[Braincase]

Don't know if this has been added, but I'd offer up

The Delware Blue Hens... damn, can't even make 'em Roosters

http://rhetorica.net/weblogpix/bluehen.gif .

[RealSNR]

I've hated the Tennessee Volunteers. Their mascot is they gayest thing ever. It's a f*cking dog with overralls, with a skip in its walk like it is "ready to go to work". Teh gh3y.

The Vermont Catamounts. WTF is a Catamount? Is it a "Cat I Mount"?

There's a high school in North Dakota called the Dickinson Prarie Midgets. Midgets meaning Indians... I guess they're really short in Western ND.

Say what you want about racial names, but names like the UND Fighting Sioux are meant to be respectful. They aren't the savages or anything. It's their own f*cking tribe name. That's where people who protest it need to STFD and STFU. They're just looking for something to protest.

[Ultra Peanut]

I've hated the Tennessee Volunteers. Their mascot is they gayest thing ever. It's a f*cking dog with overralls, with a skip in its walk like it is "ready to go to work". Teh gh3y.Yes. They're a bunch of fags.

The Vermont Catamounts. WTF is a Catamount? Is it a "Cat I Mount"?Just another name for the cougar/mountain lion/panther.

[Calcountry]

You know, I went back and looked at the thread title, and it hit me. Collegiate athletics are professional sports. lol

[RealSNR]

Any team named after a cat, except Mizzou. Any team racially insensitive.

Magic, Saints, White Sox (I just hate them,) Lakers, Yankees, Chargers, Padres...That's lame logic. If you hate all cat names, then you hate Mizzou's name. You must like Mizzou, but really, you can hate your favorite team's name and still like them. If you like Mizzou's name, then you also like Clemson, LSU, and the Detroit baseball team among other teams named after a Tiger.

[RealSNR]

Yes. They're a bunch of fags.Yeah, I realize they were named after a volunteer army, but then make your mascot a soldier or something. Don't make it into the meaning that most people think of when they think of a "volunteer"

[VonneMarie]

That's lame logic. If you hate all cat names, then you hate Mizzou's name. You must like Mizzou, but really, you can hate your favorite team's name and still like them. If you like Mizzou's name, then you also like Clemson, LSU, and the Detroit baseball team among other teams named after a Tiger.
No I pretty much hate big cat names.
