Best fictitious team names/themes

[Kodos]

What are the coolest fake team names that you've seen in your multiplayer leagues (or elsewhere)? (Images welcome!)

[Passacaglia]

I think the best fictitious team names are the ones that are completely made up -- that have no basis in reality.

[MikeVic]

Springfield Isotopes.

[Cringer]

I always like the slightly goofy names/logos. So I go with the Murfreesboro Mules of the Imperial League. The original owner of the team just left after several real life years in the league...

You'd probably like the Chesapeake Chitterlings in IHOF:

Or my own Rochester Lake Monsters (alternate helmet):

Yes indeed, those are good ones to me. The logos help make the name in some cases like the Monsters, and there is nothing wrong with that at all. I have had two different logos over the years for my Little Rock Toads, and like those a lot as well. I think my first Toads logo was a little better, but I am not sure I have it around anymore.

[headtrauma]

West Texas Widowermakers

[Cringer]

Oh, another one I like from the Imperial League WAS the Tulsa Cows. I loved the logo, and the name just seem to fit with Tulsa. Much to my unhappiness the name and logo have since been changed. :(

[Coffee Warlord]

Portland Sea Biscuits.

[Raiders Army]

My fantasy team is (now) always the Weedeaters. My alias is Richard Weed.

[JeeberD]

Honolulu Bloodthirsty Beagles

So your make up a team of large men to eat you? :eek:

I've been a big fan of the North Plainfield Plague over in IHOF. To toot my own horn, the San Luis Obispo Burn was pretty good too, I thought :) Kudos to Cuervo for the graphics:

The Plague is one I always thought was cool as well.

Fritz's French Ticklers (http://www.thefofl.com/teampages/french.php).

[Cringer]

That one is great cuervo, or Fritz I should say.

I clearly haven't checked out the FOFL in a long time I guess, because looking over the other teams I would also say I am a big fan of the New Jersey People, Alabama Pink Elephants, Charleston Chew (which I remember from looking at them before), and Mackinac Fudge (logo totally makes that one happen for me). There are others I like there too. Good, original names in that league. Although I like my Toads more then the Davis Toads. :)

Thanks to cuervo for the logo on my Mackinac Fudge.

I like New Jersey People.

cuervo did a kickass job a couple of times for me. The first time was for my team in HA's ill-fated LEF (League of Extraordinary Football). We were the Dallas Dolaposters, and our logo was a D with a bar over it, representing an infinite repeat...

http://www.fof-ihof.com/upload/JeeberD/dallasdolaposters.jpg

The second time he made me a helmet, it was for my Muscatine Mosquitoes in IHOF.

Cuervo Design Studios is da bomb.

I think the Plague and the Northstars have the best helmets in IHOF.

Not a fan of that nickname or logo. I like the new one way better. ;)

[Brownkeg8]

In a real life Fantasy football league we had an owner go with the Bloody Beavers.

[Blade6119]

Buenos Aires Faeries

[Izulde]

I'd like to make a fictional solo FOF dynasty, but I suck at making helmet logos. :/

Big surprise there. :eek:

As long as the W-L record remains the same keep whatever name you want. :p

[Karlifornia]

Well, it's a team from the beautiful state of Maine...called the

"Bangor Gently"

[RedKingGold]

I agree that Cuervo is the freaking bomb.

My favorite team/nickname is my Lackawanna Coal Crackers from the FOFL:

http://www.thefofl.com/teampages/images/helmets/LCK-400x.jpg

This is another Cuervo concoction.

[tarcone]

Like the nickname and logo, that is changing soon also. :cool:

[TRO]

Northstars is one of my faves as well.

[cthomer5000]

Cuervo is the man. We went through a ton of designs before settling on the Plague one years ago.

The basis is from a CD single put out by the band Ash quite a while ago. I love the neon green and black color scheme as well. Distinct.

Fairbanks is probably my favorite in the league that isn't mine.

Cuervo really hooked the league up, we have a bunch of teams/logos i like quite a bit.

[Scarecrow]

I always like the slightly goofy names/logos.

Astoria Heroes is classic.

and regal.

http://www.imperialfl.us/forums/image.php?u=126&dateline=1185049307


we've since had to change to the California Heroes, as IFL doesn't allow out-of-game city moves (your team has to physically move in the game for you to be allowed to change your team's location).

[Kodos]

I always thought that was one of the dumber team ideas that I've run across.

oh yeah, because a cartoon monster is sooo ingenious. i marvel at your creativity.:rolleyes:

[Kodos]

Thank you!

[Subby]

Imagine how good cuervo would be at this stuff if he wasn't so busy trolling Gindin...

[Anthony]

Thank you!

a guy whose online gimmick is he's an alien thinks an idea of mine is "dumb". truly it's an opinion i hold in high regard.

and anyone who thinks a team that has red, white and blue as its colors is dumb is a fucking communist. like blue and green go together. i don't like them on the Seahawks and i don't like them on kodos' team.

You telling the big man he screwed up on that one?

[Kodos]

The colors are fine. It's the idea of having Superman as your logo that is dumb. In my humble alien opinion.

[Bobble]

Minsk Meat
Moscow Bells
Prague Rams

and my personal favorite....

Actually, from the posts I've seen, YOU'RE a communist.

[Silver Owl]

Someone in my fantasy league was "Big Test Icicles"

I actually can't knock him on that one, given my FOBL minor league teams are named after Green Lantern (Coast City Lanterns), Blue Beetle (El Paso Beetles), and Dr. Fate (Las Vegas Fates).

Yeah, I like the name, but you would have to explain what the logo has to do with it. I simply don't get it.

[cuervo72]

Think cheap bait.

[Cringer]

ahhh, ok.

[dawgfan]

I got a laugh in Simulated Sports Basketball by a team called the "HoosierDaddies".

[Axxon]

I once played as the Aspen Questions.

[Vince]

A recurring fantasy baseball team name of mine is the Dangling Participles. Not really applicable for a fake professional team, but I liked it.

[Fritz]

A few that I liked..

I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for the Myrtle Beach Magicians logo Fritz. :)
