I'm using either Colorado Snowcaps or Pinnacles. I also like the Borthers suggestion for Philadelphia. I might be able to make Keystones work as well. Vegas I think I'm going to do Jokers (I like Blackjacks though), Bay Area will be Sea Lions. Twin Cities will have an "ice" theme. I'm still stuck on: Pittsburgh Dallas Jokers is good too. By the time I got halfway down the list, I'd gotten pulled away several times and it had been hours, so I hurried a little. I'm sure there were dozens other gambling/card names I missed. I like Jokers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smzimbabwe Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Because of the Three Rivers, I've named my Pittsburgh teams the Triplets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyEaglesFly76 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Dallas: Outlaws, Gunslingers, Bulls (Bull riding is cool down there right?) Fly Eagles Fly, on the road to victory... Philadelphia Eagles: NFL Champions in 1948, 1949, 1960, Super Bowl Champions in 2017-18. Philadelphia Phillies: World Series Champions in 1980 and 2008.

~Bear Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I like Triplets but if I decide to do Brothers for Philly and I'm going with "Twin Cities." I thought about Toros for Dallas but that's similar to the Texas Longhorns. I also want to stay away from Outlaws or Bandits. I might do Keystones for Pittsburgh and maybe Armadillos for Dallas. Thanks everyone one though for your suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone tries to do the space theme, but the Space Coast is 40+ minutes away. That just leaves you with something to do with Florida's climate...yawn. If you want to be distasteful then the Orlando Bullets could work If an Orlando Franchise were to be started today, I think you could get away with the name "Orlando Pulse" and rather than it coming off as distasteful over what happened in the Pulse Nightclub it could be seen as a way to honor the folks who lost their lives in that tragic event. Especially with the news today (or maybe it was yesterday) that the City of Orlando wants to buy the Nightclub and turn it into a Memorial site.

Seeing this post again a couple days later made me think of something. I've often gone with a sun-based nickname, but there's also the citrus industry, with the Citrus Bowl being right there. The Orlando Squeeze sounds like it could work for basketball or football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be fine with the name, but I feel many (especially the family of the victims) would say that it would be taking advantage of a tragedy for marketing purposes. And also, the City of Orlando has been saying that they will make Pulse a memorial since July, but nothing has really happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo_prankster Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Sorry to dig this back up but... How about: - If someone wanted to do a team in Dusseldorf with a name other than the Rhein Fire?

AgentColon2 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 They could always go the route of Sirius/XM and name them Amp. GET AMP'D UP! Could be a crowd chant or something. I think that's horrible though. Bet to go with just Wheelers. That can play off the image above and the long history of German made automobiles.

texashockeyfan Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Dallas has enough Western themed teams as it is. I lived there in the 90s and to tell the truth, Fort Worth is more western oriented than Big D. San Antonio could be the Brigade or something military themed due to the many military bases there. I agree with you on Boston and Philly and their historical roles. St. Louis could be the Clydesdales, as it is the home of Anheiser-Busch breweries. Orlando could be the Thrill, but I don't know how you could make a logo for that name, which is a nod to its many theme parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac the Knife Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Cincinnati sits on the banks of the Ohio river, yet I'm not familiar with any team that's tried to use that in its branding. "River Kings," or dusting off "Showboats" from the USFL is the best I could ever think up, though. St. Louis? Can't go wrong with Archers, Spirit, or Pioneers. Also another one on which a river theme could be used, though in their case it has been tried ("Steamers," MISL). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Energy" is used by their D-League team, "Hawkeyes" is used by their college (and "Hawks" is used by Atlanta), "Blackhawks" is used by Chicago, and finding a name that relates to the farming industry without sounding silly isn't easy at all. For Salt Lake City I prefer to use "Swarm" (because Utah is known as the "Beehive" state). I love the name "Saints" for SLC, because of Utah's high Mormon population, but in an odd twist of fate, New Orleans uses that name.

BigRed618 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Lions could also make an appropriate, non-cowboy themed name for a Texas team. There are more lions living on Texan nature reserves than in their native habitat in Africa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
