thepjguy Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I've been working on a fictional baseball league for a while and naming teams has been quite a problem. I want names that go with the history and culture of the area but without being to bland.The already named teams:Buffalo Bison - Okay, okay, it's totally unoriginal but, people call bison buffalo because of the city. I'd totally be up to changing the name if someone posts something better.Rhode Island Reds - The state animal and state tree both have Red in them, so I decided Reds was a clever and fun name that suited the state.San Juan Saints - San means Saint. That is my best explanation for the name.Louisville Sluggers - In the fictional world, the Louisville is sponsored by the company. Also its just too perfect to say no to.Unnamed teams -Connecticut Boston New YorkNew Jersey PhiladelphiaPittsburghIndianapolis ClevelandCincinnatiDetroitChicagoWashingtonNashvilleMemphis Oklahoma City Louisiana St. Louis Milwaukee Kansas CityMinnesota Arizona HoustonDallas Las VegasSan AntonioSeattlePortland San DiegoSan FranciscoLos AngelesSan Jose Salt Lake City Denver Hawaii Tampa Bay MiamiMontreal TorontoOttawaVancouverBrooklynRhode Island RedsCarolinaAtlantaLas AngelesOrlando Virginia BeachSo I know it's a lot but any name helps! Also if you'd like to suggest a place I put a team I'm up for it! Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepjguy Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 If you want to change a name (i.e. New Jersey to Trenton, Rhode Island to Providence, etc.) go for it, and I'll probably change it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
