An almost perfect team name

Postby keyzick » Sat May 19, 2012 5:43 am

I usually go with whatever my current situation is - could revolve around the weather, sports, news, etc... That leads to cool names and often boring names...but I've had so many teams I had to go with something!

eg. - Rainy Daze (it was raining out when I filled my draft card, and I changed the spelling of "Days" to make it seem cool)

Hampton Spaniels (we'd just come home with a new Springer Spaniel that weekend).

Well, you get the idea. FWIW, Aerodave's names have very cool themes and outputs...I'm gonna have to up my game now!

Here is one that I am playing right now that was a REAL team name in the Negro Leagues.

Hollywood Beavers

Yep.

I will let you come up with the most effective combination of team name and words like: pounded, trimmed, etc.

I'm getting a kick out of a userscript I'm currently writing. The script does a search for images and allows the user to choose a logo based on the team name.
