They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

Gothamite Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Don't think it does, as that's not a nickname. But in other soccer news, the NASL's Atlanta Silverbacks are poised to adopt their predecessor's name "Chiefs". The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Malpass Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 When the United Soccer Association transplanted clubs from other countries into the American leagues, two of them retained their nicknames. These were the Los Angeles Wolves and the Boston Rovers, aka Wolverhampton Wanderers (the Wolves) and Shamrock Rovers respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 As did the Redskins and Braves when they were both in Boston. The Pittsburgh Steelers were for a time known as the Pirates after the baseball club. Those, along with the Giants, were deliberate. The two St. Louis Cardinals was a coincidence. Then there were the two Browns, a football version in Cleveland and a baseball version in St. Louis, from 1946 through 53. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
