I do not think I am asking too much, but

"Prospects" and "exposure" are nouns, so let's refine your standard to "a location followed a noun amenable to illustration with a caricature or cartoon figure."

 

P.S. Anyone who offers a cartoon illustration of "exposure" will jeopardize his posting privileges!

Can I use more than 1 in a name?

 

"Your State" Premier Elite Prospects - Select.

"Your State" Premier Elite Prospects - Scout.  That's a new one Scout!

"Your State" Premier Elite Prospects - (Red, White, Blue Black, Camo)

"Black."

This is to funny. Quick story, my son's 17u team was called the Tipp City Raptors. Of course, as you all know that is the big recruiting year. Lots of boys on that team ended up playing in college (I think 14 of 16). We were a two age team (17u and 15u that year, connected because of the founders had kids on both teams, no organization. The next year we became the Miami Valley Prospects because they wanted to become an organization. the then 18u team laughed all year being called the Prospects. some moms wanted to change it to the Committed, since they already were

Or maybe because the dads should be.

HRCJR: Add A-Team to your list. (Unless you are Ed Sheeran)

XYZ Prospects "National"

 

Been seeing a lot of team names with the modifier "National" added to the team name, then, oddly, seeing several of their not "National" teams attending the very same events as their "National" team.

HRCJR,

 

Based on your formula of location and noun, I think some of us will run into some trouble with some of these cities and towns (link below).  

 

I'm partial to Bumpass, VA as it is within shouting distance.  I've run a few Bumpass travel baseball team names by my wife, and was quickly shot down.  Bumpass Kickers just isn't getting any justice at the dinner table.

Can I add Prime to the list?

My son played for a team called Marzano Futures. Marzano was the sponsor. Futures is fairly obvious.

My sons team was the  Florida Pokers. Had nothing to do with gambling.

Use your imagination.......

That was the meaning behind the Pokers.

My daughter's volleyball team had "Elite" in its title.  I hated it but loved the organization.  It's especially bad if the team really isnt that good, as we weren't.

 

After getting it handed to them one match, my daughter told me that during the good game hand shake, some girl said "Elite, huh?"

 

We used to play a team called  Future Prospects Elite.  Should have been called None of the Above.

Best name we ever faced?  The Georgia Fighting Squirrels.  Loved that name! 

 

I figure if you gotta something like "Elite" or "Prospect" in your team name...then you're selling something you aren't.

Yep.  As I told my kid, if you have to call yourself "elite" are you? 

Palmetto Sand Gnats - Loved that name. And they were good too. Then there were the "Old Providence Mud Dawgs" They were pretty darn good as well. I always loved the names of teams that identified with a community or area. And you can get away with a kind of funky name if your really good. But it doesn't always go like that.

 

I agree the "Elite" "Future" "Prospects" those names I never could get.

This is my favorite.  "None of the Above".  Crack me up!!!  That name should be used often.

 

We were, in youth ball, the Golden Gophers. Whenever we traveled, people assumed we were from Minnesota. Nope. Golden, Colorado.

 

Coming up through youth ball, there was a very good team in the area known as the Brighton Bulldogs (this was the high school name). This was a USSSA major team. A couple of years later, there was another team formed from the town. This team was not very good and played mostly at the AA level. They took the name Brighton Bulldogs Elite. A little confusing.

I'd add "Team" to the list of banned names.  Team this, Team that.  Geez.  Isn't it self evident that it's a team?

I'm laughing because I see Team Elite Prime just came in second at the Perfect Game BCS 14u tournament. Maybe we should just be quiet now.

but who won?

btw, there's a small town in Washington called Humptulips.  Not sure if they have a team or not.

Great name. Also the name of a minor league team - the Richmond Flying Squirrels. 

We played a team this season called Crossroads Coyotes. Loved it. There should be lots more alliteration in team names.

My buddy coached a 10U team called Ballz Out...

My son played 11U & 12U for a team called the Georgia Fire Ants.

Just saw this on a GA board...."The 7u TnT Hustle are looking for players"...SO CUTE!

Around here we seem to have lots of "Academies," which means the teams all have three-letter acronyms that end in "A." So you'll have BPA playing PBA, and the winner plays CBA . . . it starts to sound like Federal agencies.

i like the bo peeps

Simpson Homers!

My son played for a travel basketball team called the Banana Slugs.

They're short but they can't jump.

I'm gonna add Time. As in Show Time, Mound Time, Prime Time, etc. It's a weird word for a team name.

My son's youth baseball team was the Misfits.

Somebody must have heard of University of California Santa Cruz.
