And as for worst name in the Big 5 leagues, it's a no contest since Club de Foot Montréal was announced as the new name for Montréal Impact. Inter Miami C.F.'s logo is in spanish. Montreal essentially translated "Montreal FC" in french. Teams have the option to translate their logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine in no specific order Red Bull, they may call themselves Red Bulls but no where on their logo or kits does it have the added S. Canucks - is a what? Commanders - Football Team was a thousand times more awesome. Phillies - Cheese Steak? Texans - only in Houston apparently Utah Jazz - Noooooooo more Lost Angels of somewhere.

You are right. But it's to avoid confusion with the other Canadian Football Club, the Montreal Alouettes. It's not a good idea, if both local sports are called the same thing.

The closest are teams from France that use Foot + Department name, such as Clermont Foot 63 and Grenoble Foot 38 and a few that use foot on its own, but it's FC. That, and given just how unpopular the name change was, Club de Foot Montreal belongs on the list of bad names. 4 hours ago, tigers said: Canucks - is a what?

Translate Foot from English to French and see what you get, hint is i wrote it before. Also Football in French is Football. Logano wins BOWL before Chargers.

Let's just say that Washington Football Team and Cleveland Guardians previous names are similar. Logano wins BOWL before Chargers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely have a bias being a Wild fan, but that’s the best I can come up with as to why it sounds good. 21 minutes ago, Ark said: I like that they don't match home and road uniforms. They’re much similar now though, then they were with the red sweaters. "And those who know Your Name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You."

The name got mixed reviews, the "snowflake" logo didn't go over well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The North Stars had a history of slightly different h & r jerseys. The Wild franchise are continuing that tradition. The jerseys don't completely mismatch. It's only a few small changes, so each jersey is set apart in a way to look nicer. This particular set needs those slight changes. 3 hours ago, DTConcepts said: "Wild" is a good name, and no one can change my mind on that.

WestCoastBias Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Wild isn't a good name but it's tolerable. It's better than Magic, Thunder, Ducks, Sharks, Avalanche, Predators, Lightning, or Blue Jackets. Hockey has a lot of bad team names. The Wild's Winter Classic uniforms are incredible though, that should be their full time brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopewellJones Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 There is one North Star. Naming a team after a singular item just seems dumb. It’s as dumb as the Arizona Grand Canyons would be. okay maybe not THAT dumb but, hopefully my point is made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 The Wild look nice when they pair the Scenery-Bear with restrained, traditional striping. When they try and look like a team from the 1920's? Not so much. That Winter Classic jersey was atrocious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
