sports team names LOCKED
by Locked Thread
This thread is locked. New replies are not allowed.
so alex and i were spending our field ministry time yesterday talking about the best and worst sports team names and uniforms rather than building each other up spiritually.
what are my conclusions?
i hate sports team names that are not plural; you then have to change the tense of the entire sentence. like the utah jazz, orlando magic, miami heat, minnesota wild.
overall, the stupidest sports team name of the four major sports is the utah jazz. seriously. i dont think there is a single jazz club in all of utah. also, buffalo teams are silly because their logos have buffalos on them, instead of whatever their team name is. buffalo is the name of the city, and there arent even buffaloes there.
what are your takes?

You're dumb!
ur face is dumb
o snap
you forgot "los angeles angels of anaheim" SO LAME
oh yeah cant believe i forgot that one when we were talking about it the other day. yeah thats the worst! pick a city!
we ALL hate it. its insane. we're no where near LA...we're 20 minutes...a whole county away. we all hate it when peeps refer to everything as LA
haha... yeah that's pretty bad. and mighty ducks... ehhhh i dunno
new york knickerbockers.... i know it's named after beer, but that is a dumb name too
well the "mighty" was dropped so they're just anaheim ducks now. at least THEY kept the "anaheim" before the team name.
yeah didn't they used to be the "mighty ducks of anaheim"?
what's with that city and wanting it's name to be after the team's?
and tampa bay buccaneers is dumb because they play in TAMPA, not in the actual BAY
they were anaheim mighty ducks. then the samuelli's bought the team and they dropped the "mighty" and left it "anaheim ducks"
adn you should be named w/the citys name by it. its territorial....CA is HUGE so they cant just be called "california sharks" "california kings" "california raiders" ya know what i mean? and you're not going to call an anaheim team name "LA ANGELS" ya know?
The Giants and Jets play in NJ, not NY. Same thing with them.
The Jets are horrible
alex said the same thing...its not named after beer, silly! knickerbockers are the shorts that people wore to play bball back in the 1940s and such. ive never even heard of knickerbocker beer.
hmm... i'd always heard they were named after knickerbocker beer. This is what wikipedia says"
The Knicks, the shortened form of Knickerbockers, named for Father Knickerbocker, a popular symbol of New York, are one of only two teams of the original National Basketball Association still located in its original city (the other being the Boston Celtics). The Basketball Association of America and the National Basketball League merged in 1949 to form the NBA.
Lay off the crack pipe Matt. haha...
lol.... beer?
this makes me think of the anal car game... http://www.collegehumor.com/article:1734705
you could do it with sports teams too...
anal eagles
anal heat
anal jazz
anal cowboys
etc.
this was my idea!! i was the one who started talking about this to alex the other day! i can't believe he recycles my ideas to other people and tries to pass them off as his own.
and the whole "buffalo bills" one too... that was what i was talking about!
haaha really? actually i thought of the bills one. and it was because i saw a bills fan parking only sign at a door. i think thats how the conversation started actually. so really im the one recycling ideas
no way dude, i thought of the buffalo bills thing totally independently.
Haha...
With the city name Buffalo, it is theorized that Buffalo roamed that area until the mid 1700's. And a creek there was named Buffalo Creek. So that is probably where it got its name.
Personally I think a team name needs to denote a body of some sort. Jazz is a type of music. How can a player be a Jazz? How do you picture what a Jazz would look like? A giant saxophone? A Yankee you'd picture a guy in an Uncle Sam outfit, a Giant is a giant, and so forth. Naming something after an element or a vague embodiment of nature is silly. I'll even rip on the Mets. Whats a Metropolitan? A guy in a business suit? That's dumb too.
