The Dragpos


It's the dragpo, the dragon hippo hybrid that lives in our minds and eats our sadness

I'd name them after some sort of genitalia.

The Honey Badgers. They don't care...

There were some pretty good names out there. My favourite was the World Football League franchise to the Macon, GA team: The MACON wHOOPIES.

In collegiate sports, the Rhode Island School of Design - which belongs to no leage had a non-school-sponsored hockey team called the NADS. The cheer, of course, was GO NADS!

Being artists and all, they had a mascot wearing a huge penis suit, who was affectionately known as "Scroty" and was usually seen in the company of attentive ladies.

The Basketball team there is known simply as "The Balls" and they urge students and faculty to "Support our Balls". There was even a poster showing RISD's President holding two basketballs to his chest, and asking for support.

But I do love the suggestion of naming the teams after body parts or disgusting diseases.

I'd name them after myself since I've often been told "You're something else!"

After my cat's breed: The Chicago Silver Tabbies!!!!! ^,.,^

The Nads so you could yell "Go Nads!"

That would be the UMKC Kangaroos, or 'Roos for short.

I would name them the same as my fantasy baseball team: Crop Circle Jerks

It'd have to be something in the original dialect of the First Peoples of the area. That way the stadium tax subsidies and ongoing tax write-offs could be almost legitimate.

Also, "tasiwóo" sounds way better that "bison."

The Spanish Inquisition.

Because "Nobody expects The Spanish Inquisition!"

Funny. I once did an experiment with my 6th grade talented and gifted students where we discussed the importance of having a mascot who is tough, or strong, or fierce sounding. They all agreed that the mascot was of little significance. Then I proposed that we change the name of our mascot from Wolves to the Leprechauns, and they were deeply upset by the prospect. The didn't like the Caterpillars or Butterflies, either. I would love to see a team called the Fighting Ladybugs!

The Artichokes are taken (Scottsdale [AZ] Community College), so how about...

The San Francisco AIDS: "Make us bleed, death guaranteed."

The Bel Air Maybachs: "If you have to ask, you can't afford to win."

The London Royalty: "We make our own rules, and we play when we want to."

The Hollywood Plastic Surgeons: "We look totally different after halftime."

The Compton Gangbangers: "Pop a cap, no problem."

The Berkeley Stoners: "Since when is clipping a penalty?"

The Savannah Babies: "We crap our pants in a victory dance."

Wow, another accidental double-post. At least I caught it in time to edit it out.

The Evansville Editors: "We know what we want and won't tell you what it is, so do it."

Or a personal favorite of mine, which needs no explanation: the Trojan Love Carrots.

I'd name them "OFF CONSTANTLY." That way if we lost the other team and fans could cheer that THEY BEAT "OFF CONSTANTLY."

The Slaps, so i can watch all the crowd Celebrate after a Score by slapping each other.

After something positive that the particular area of the country the team is located is known for.

After a snack food

HoHos
SnoBalls
Yodels
Zebra Cakes
Nutty Bar
Swiss Cake Rolls

I always wanted to name a fictional team the Comets. Since I was born and raised in California, I wanted a team called the California Comets, and it was such a slam dunk logo design of a comet rocketing around to make the letter "C". Navy and yellow, like the golden bears, would be their colors.

"FIRED" it's a total waste of money to be paying these brain damaged behemoths any more than minimum wage. This should stop the bribery /corruption because it would be quite obvious who was taking kick backs. Let those that play for the love of the game (sic) truly do so!!!!

If I had a team in Cleveland,
I would name them the Steamers.

Please consult an adult before googlin'.

Like Pittsburgh!

something random and completely unrelated to your location

I'd name them, "A Curse on Tom Hicks!"

Alaska Scholars

New York Confederates

On the last one, there was briefly a team called the Confederate Yankees. Yankees farm team in Civil Rights-era Georgia.

After taking ownership of the team, I'd set them free. 'If you love someone, set them free' - Sting

I know I would be terrified of a team called Sloth!

I'd name them the Time Lords and they would defeat the Daleks every time!

If I owned one, I'd name them the Zombies. It would defintely boost merch sales =)

Flying Screaming Monkeys! Duh!

I think we missed out on a real-world category: Name it after a badass group or profession. Vikings, Celtics, Pirates, Ninjas, Chuck Norrises.

-The San Francisco Kraken
-The Dudes
-The Detroit Lepers
-The Rumble
-The New York Gents
-The Boston Master Baiters

I'd name them after myself, naturally.

Sincerely,

Yankee C. Steeler

I would maintain the regional attraction themes as such:

The Idaho "Potatoes"

The D.C. "B&E's"

The New York "New Jerseys" (cuz they play in NJ...)

The Florida "New Yorkers" (cuz most new yorkers retire and vacation there)

The California "Semi-legalized (but not really legalized)pot law maker-breakers"

The South Dakota "We have no local attractions other than Mt. Rushmore but when you get there you wish you hadn't made the drive-ers"

The Texas "We were our own country from 1836 to 1846 but never seemed to fully commit once we rejoined the states and still act like we are our own country-ers" (still working on the logo)

after some cutting tool: knives, scalpels, katanas, beaver cleavers... maybe the last one isn't so much a cutting tool.

How about every team become a sell out and just have their sponsor name the team? just look at the MLS team NY redbulls

You should know that Chuck Norris works alone...

Cancer, Heart Attack, Tumor. Then the opposition would fear them.

A war-loving indigenous people like the Vandals, the Vikings, etc.
