Squall Hammer Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Beat me to it. I'm from Albuquerque, and I agree that Isotopes is one of the most unique team names out there. Though of course, it was thought of by The Simpsons, not by anyone with the team. As an eleven-year-old Simpsons fan, I was a huge fan of the name choice. Today it does feel a bit like a joke that's outlived its humor, which may be part of the reason why caps and jerseys of the Albuquerque Dukes (the city's previous AAA team) have gotten so popular in recent years. Though I still like the Isotopes name in and of itself.I'm surprised no one's mentioned the Jazz in this thread. In my opinion, "Jazz" is the most unique and creative name in the Big Four leagues.

Fresno St. Alum Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Nova Southeastern SharksLOL, that's the school I go to. I'm surprised someone's heard of it!I've heard of them and they used to be the Knights until a few years ago. Congrats on adding Palm Beach Atlantic and Embry-Riddle to the SSC. I didn't think Sharks was unique enough San Jose, Jacksonville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soarindude Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Western Florida is also named the Argonauts, so Toronto isn't exactly the only team that uses this nickname. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
