Worst Sports Team Nickname

[smoovethug]

A friend and I were having this discussion a while back about what team in sports has the worst nickname. It could be because it's not threatening, dumb, or just weird. For example, the New Jersey Nets? A piece of equipment? It's not even equipment really! That would be like a baseball team named the Arkansas Warning Tracks. Your thoughts...

the ones i always think about are the new jersey nets, hawaii rainbows, and new york knickerbockers.

The Montgomery Biscuits, DRays AA team, current home of Reid Brignac and Evan Longoria.

I get that teams are searching for "unique" names these days as opposed to the standards, but.....Biscuits? Ugh.

I'd rather be a biscuit than an artichoke...



I kid you not: the Scottsdale Community College Fighting Artichokes: http://www.scottsdalecc.edu/athletics/index.html

Seriously, someone try and top that one.

we should probably stick to professional teams since my intramural basketball team name will take the cake otherwise.

New York Knickerbockers is very bad, Expos, Red Sox, White Sox, Cleveland Naps, come to mind

[BritSox]

What the hell's wrong with Sox? And Knicks is a characterful name that identifies the team strongly with the place they play, so I quite like it- it's no worse than 'Hoosiers' or 'Dodgers.'

Are you British?

[Pacman]

Utah Jazz is a pet peeve of mine. That nickname was fine when the franchise was in New Orleans, but having been to Salt Lake City a couple of times... I'm pretty sure it's the city you would LEAST associate with jazz in the entire US.

Someone 'splain to me why they didn't just start fresh with a new name when they moved out there...

also, I think Panthers is one of the coolest team nicknames... partially because panthers are cool animals, and it was also my high school's nickname.

I like NY Yankees, Chicago Cubs, Miami Heat, Pittsburgh Steelers, Chicago Fire, and New York Mets ifwe are going on to nicknames we like....
