ThePreacher Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Someone said they haven't seen "Goats"... Chivas means "Goats" in Spanish... FC Chivas USA play in Los Angeles.. http://www.sportslogos.net/logo.php?id=eg4hl8flu0sx3flhk7yun65o6I liked the earlier suggestion for a Walrus as a hockey logo though. That would rule!! Are there currently any hockey clubs that use a Walrus?? San Francisco Walruses or "Walrus" (think: Manitoba Moose) would have made sense had the Sharks not been phoenetically relevant (and had the arena been in SF, not San Jose - not that it matters.) As there are tons of huge sea lions, walrus and seals in the bay (especially Fisherman's Wharf) This was about as close as I came to finding a cool Walrus logo... http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1Uiz2z1rmLs/SehaWYcF5MI/AAAAAAAAACo/8oQb69kmhiM/s320/Walrus%2BLogo%2Bfinal.jpg&imgrefurl=http://40footwalruses.blogspot.com/&usg=__sv3kyml83P0CKr1m0p8cpTXH5qA=&h=320&w=264&sz=24&hl=en&start=0&sig2=C6vXUKjogIIMnPnBOFOd5w&tbnid=N_Qo4_eyMd3YeM:&tbnh=156&tbnw=130&ei=HjRSTMf-BNiAnAf-6JCGAw&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dwalrus%2Blogo%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DN%26biw%3D1920%26bih%3D833%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=276&vpy=503&dur=357&hovh=179&hovw=147&tx=120&ty=209&page=1&ndsp=35&ved=1t:429,r:27,s:0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePreacher Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Someone already brought up Zebras.. they're quite possibly the worst "team" in all of sports... You know, the ones that are always blowing games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batfan1400 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 For the poster who brought up bats:Old Tampa Bay Mutiny logo.Thank you so much.I have forgot about MLS(considered the 5th sport besides the big 4).That's a good color scheme so similar to a DC hero whose my SN is based on.

Legend Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Chimps, monkeys, or other apes.Since I was a kid I've always loved the monkey/ape animal families. I guess it doesn't scream intimidation, but that is no longer a prereq for a teams name. Names often reflect the area/region when selected, thus the excuse for the necessity of a name that isn't menacing.With monkeys/apes, guess there can't be a argument for that since they are not indeginous to the US or Canada. I don't think a team HAS to pick a name that reflects the area, and it doesn't always, but I'm awaiting the Gorillas or Monkeys as a team name.I won't hold my breath.Edit: just went back and saw some Gorilla/Silverback team namese. Pretty cool, but I was referring to the likelihood of it happening in the 4 major sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanPhoenix Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 The Blue-Footed Boobies would be good, but how about the Titmice? It would kinda look like the Orioles' logoLately I've been liking the idea of using cryptids (legendary/mythical) creatures for team names: Yeti, sasquatches, phoenixes, chupacabras, etc. A few teams have been named after them. The New Jersey Devils were named after the Jersey Devil, and the Lowell Lock Monsters and Lake Erie Monsters after the Loch Ness Monster. The Kootenay Ice (WHL) have a yeti in their logo.

Corvus Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I think some school has Camels as their nickname, but outside of that, I've never seen any other school or team use Camels.Connecticut College and Campbell UniversityDon't know of many teams named the Roosters. The only team that comes to mind is The North Adelaide Football Club, a state league Australian football team in South Australia.Game Cocks are roostersThe French national soccer team logo is a rooster. Though after this world cup, perhaps it should be a plate of chicken wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As there are tons of huge sea lions, walrus and seals in the bay (especially Fisherman's Wharf)Walruses are sentient blobs of fat, so I can't see teams lining up to be them.Even if the Sharks had stayed downtown, they still shouldn't be called walruses. A return to "San Francisco Seals" would've been kind of cool, but hey, it was the '90s. I always felt the mongoose was a tenacious little creature. I wouldn't want to be up against a mongoose. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
