Please consult an adult before googlin'.

I think there's a roller derby 'team' named the Cleveland Steamers...

I'd name my team the "Mad Cows". After all, can you think of anything more frightening than a group of crazed bovine?

The St. Louis (or Davenport, or Memphis, or Cincinnati or you get the picture) River Cats

after completely unrelated locations and professions -

Baltimore's own Zambian Plaintiff's Attorneys vs. New Orleans' Scottish Pretzel Knotters

I would name them the Sofa Kings.

The cheerleaders are Sofa King great ! That was such a Sofa King HUGE play ! They would be sponsored by TRICK OR TREAT?ens' Cider.

Some drink it cold, but my wife loves a hot TRICK OR TREAT?ens' Cider any time of the day.

I am Sofa King on PROBATION.

Dogs

Nothing clever about it, I just like dogs.

The Pittsburg Pampers?
Detroit Depends?
Poughkeepsie Preparation H's?
Wisconsin Wii's?

they would be the Box of Cobwebs.. everyone wants them to do well, but they never really have any win in them.

nothing, cuz owning a sports team is effing stupid.

Rochester Ramones

Seattle Sex Pistols (again with the body parts)

Baldwinsville Beatles

Mayberry Metallicas

And to get attendance up at high school games:

Morrisville Bare Naked Ladies

How about:

Cazenovia Crushers

Manlius Manglers

Fayetteville Foo Fighters

U-tica 2

Oops, got off track....Carry on good people..

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.

San Marcos, CA. No match on your logo or colors though.

cheese.

The Flying, Screaming Monkeys. Duh!

I went to Morrisville. Where the men are men......and so are the women. Mooville BNL - not a pretty thought.

I would name my team the nads. This way everyone in the stand would cheer. GO NADS GO NADS GO NADS

If the league let me get away with it, I'd definitely go with a sexual innuendo.

Why do we name teams after an emotion or animal? Why not something local? The town - the supporters? The environment? Look at soccer teams in Europe.. Why are we called the Timbers (Portland) or the Sounders (Seattle) - Sounds like a joke. Manchester United - UNITED... Liverpool FC (Football Club).. DC United.. YES!!

London Knights - YES!!!!!!!!!

Philadelphia UNION - Yes - UNION..

Clippers? What is that - Nail Clippers?

Miami Dades - YES - thats it!!
Baltimore Gridiron. YES!!

WHY OH WHY DO WE FEEL WE HAVE TO NAME AFTER AN ANIMAL OR EMOTION?

Philadelphia Front - YES
Phillies - YES
Union - YES
United - YES
FC Philadlephia - YES

Philadelphia Frontiers - Eh.. Ok - needs work.

After a medical procedure:
The Colonoscopies

Yes - The Delaware Daleks - EXTERMINATE!!! EXTERMINATE!!!

My cat felix. Just think of it. The New England My Cat Felix's. It just rolls off the tongue.

Ultimate Badger Masters

Screw naming them... Do people really name wiffle ball baseball teams, and do they go pro? I digress. I'd sell them to the highest bidder (as long as I found the bid acceptable... as in very large), and then live happily for the rest of my life knowing that I didn't have to worry about money. Of course, if said team sucked then I'd probably be stuck with them, and name them something along the lines of a sinister sounding predator like sharks. However, not just sharks, they'd be sharks w/friggin laser! Or the 'Woot-Woot Monkeys' kinda has a nice ring to it. Makes me smile to think they'd storm the field at the opening of the game screaming like a woot monkey.

Give me the Huskies!

I'd name them for my uncle Phil. Then I'd move them to the Pacific northwest. Hmmm, the Portland Uncle Phils...

After something else.
An aggressive people.

The litigators.

And yes. I know Washington once had the Senators.

I'd name them after Schrödinger's cat!

after a racial epithet. like the fighting irish, the washington redskins, or san francisco ferries

"MyTeam" - Who would be against it?

Besides it gets right to the heart of American ego-centrism.

Giant--simple and good for a team.
