Gothamite Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I'd love to see the New York Empires, that's sort of the go-to name for a fictional NYC team: The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enio125 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I can't believe a Pro team from Pennsylvania hasn't called itself the Keystones (after The Keystone State). Great name which could lead to a simple, iconic logo.The American Soccer League's Pennsylvania Stoners came pretty darn close.Currently, an amateur side in the National Premier Soccer League continues the tradition.Hahahaha... Stoners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illwauk Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 -Cal Golden Bears and UCLA Bruins are both named after the bear on the California state flag.-Milwaukee is known as Brew City and is in a state whose official wildlife animal is the white-tailed deer (Bucks).-The Rochester Royals played in the Empire State, then moved to Cincinnati, which is known as the Queen City.

winghaz Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 North Dakota is, at times, called the Sioux State. No, not the Fighting Sioux State, except maybe in Grand Forks.This state was also called the Flickertail State a long time ago, and the UND teams in the old days were referred to as the Flickertails.

Mr. Aware Eagle Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 -Pittsburgh sports teams wear black and gold, which are the colors of the city flag.-Philadelphia Union jersey resembles the city's flag, only with a darker blue.-Birmingham Vulcans of the WFL (as well as the Alabama Vulcans of the AFA) were named for Birmingham's statue of Vulcan, the Roman god of fire. Yes, I root for teams all over the place. And I apparently favor birds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DookieMercury Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Illinois-The Prairie StateThe closest any team gets to using the name is the Illinois-Springfield Prairie Stars, probably the second closest is the old Bloomington Prairie Thunder. Of course there's always usage of the cardinal, the state bird used for Illinois State's Redbird (named as such because they didn't want to be confused to the team from St. Louis... just go with it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
