Help with a team name
 

Hey all. After repeatedly hitting my head against the wall and getting nowhere, I'm coming here for help in coming up with a name for our slopitch team for this year.

The only real restriction is that I'd like a name without referencing beer or any of the lame sexual references that every second team has at every tournament.

Preferably something that would work with a red/black color scheme (or doesn't impact colors at all) and is short enough to fit as wording on a jersey.

Operation Shutdown has sadly already been voted down.

For any that might base it on playing style, we're usually a very sound defensive team with lots of singles/doubles hitters with one or two true power guys on the team.

Any and all suggestions greatly appreciated.

So the Sloppy Beerjobs are out then?

How about Bunch of Lamers Who Wouldn't Know a Good Name if it Bit Them on the Ass?

we're going with "boom goes the dynamite" in our league.

We used to go by "The Wiley Veterans"

I wouldnt be in a league or share a team with anyone who voted that name down.

Any context? Is there a common bond between the team members/teams in the tournament/etc?

Sober and Selebate

Worst team name I was ever saddled with: The Nuclear Bats.

I'll be leaving now.

About 1/2 the team will play both house league and in tournaments. Pretty much a group of 25-31 year olds, though both groups are a lot of fun with and without alcohol involved. Common bond on the team oddly enough would be me as I know some from previous leagues/jobs/school/etc, but everybody gets along.

Men That Get Along

Ah, just to note, this is coed, both league and tourneys.

People Helping People


On the back of the shirt would be the emblem of your sponsor - The Human Fund.

"Travis. Not the Band."

I assume this pronounced slow-pitch as in softball and not slop-itch as I read it about 15 times. I was about to ask what the hell slop-itch was.

anyway I got no help for a name

How 'bout "The Billy Beaners" or "The Moneyballers"?

Sorry, when you took the lame sexual reference part out it really killed my creative juices. I thought "The Mounties" would work great with red and black but too cheaply sexual.

"No Name Bastards"

After the vote, you should have asked if they preferred Operation Shutup instead.

Men With Hats

Red and black, huh?

Slo' Ballin'

Men Without Cups

Men Without Balls

Devo

How about "Slap Happy"

The Don Imus All Stars.

Shakespeare in Love

The Shockers

Slop Itch

"Coed Sucks"

The Great Summer Army

Cocky And Funny

Shock and Awwwww

Buffalo Hunters

"Nappy haired Ho's"

That's sounds like the name of an Emo band.

The Shelbyville Shelbyvillians

You're in Canada, so how about this:

The Toronto Maple Leaves.

With Leaves spelled correctly for effect.

If I remember correctly, Travis is in Edmonton...if so, they would be promptly kicked out of the league with a name like that!!!

Travis, if you are in Edmonton, what league are you guys in?

My suggestion for a name:

STYX

The Edmonton Toilers

Slo and Lo Tempo

The Sloths

The Ham-and-eggers

:D

DOLA -
The Slop Itch All-Stars

with the red and black theme could go with the (cityname) Devils

Thank you all for your suggestions, and even better, I've made some headway getting Operation Shutdown accepted as the official name after sharing some of the ridicule posted earlier, they just really don't appreciate the true brilliance of the name ;)


We're either going to be playing in SEEMSL (Millwoods area league) or the ESSC (if the former is full) for at least their spring league, not sure about the summer league as I might be able to play in enough tournaments not to have to go through the headache of two seasons with ESSC.

You play?

And I don't even want to imagine the punishment I would go through if I suggested the Maple Leaves name. Wouldn't be as bad as suggesting anything relating to the Flames, but close, so very close, heh.

I always liked incredibly stupid names for teams...like,say..the Belgian Wiffles

Purple Headed Warriors.

The Ladies' Men

Anal, Gee Sick

Pumpy's Frumpity Mambo Band
