Best fictitious team names/themes

Kodos · 04-21-2008, 01:46 PM

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

Passacaglia · 04-21-2008, 01:59 PM

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

MikeVic · 04-21-2008, 02:02 PM

Springfield Isotopes.

Cringer · 04-21-2008, 02:08 PM

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...

Kodos · 04-21-2008, 02:55 PM

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.

West Texas Widowermakers

Cringer · 04-21-2008, 04:28 PM

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 · 04-21-2008, 04:42 PM

Portland Sea Biscuits.

Raiders Army · 04-21-2008, 06:04 PM

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

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

Vince · 04-21-2008, 06:58 PM

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:

Cringer · 04-21-2008, 06:59 PM

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

Fritz's French Ticklers.

Cringer · 04-21-2008, 07:50 PM

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...

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

Cuervo Design Studios is da bomb.

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

Brownkeg8 · 04-21-2008, 10:58 PM

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

Big surprise there.

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

Karlifornia · 04-22-2008, 04:51 AM

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

"Bangor Gently"

RedKingGold · 04-22-2008, 08:24 AM

I agree that Cuervo is the freaking bomb.

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

This is another Cuervo concoction.

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

TRO · 04-22-2008, 08:34 AM

Northstars is one of my faves as well.

cthomer5000 · 04-22-2008, 09:13 AM

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.

Astoria Heroes is classic.

and regal.

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 · 04-22-2008, 11:16 AM

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

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).
