Team Names That Are Hard To Sell

The Mangled Baby Ducks...the logo is quite disgusting.

That reminds me of a sad but true story. Driving through rural Georgia, stop to let a mother and about nine baby ducks, all fluffy and yellow, cross the road to a small pond. Felt really good about myself for making sure drivers behind me and coming the other way stopped to let the ducks cross.

On returning along the same route a couple of hours later, I arrive at the same spot only to find about seven fluffy yellow pancakes on the road. Bummed. That was 22 years ago and it still haunts me.

krak, a few yrs back I was feeling innovative, suggesting our kids pick a team name/logo from the old Negro Leagues - - my thoughts were them learning some history & being unique

there are some pretty cool names/logos as well as some that wouldn't fly today

must have been bad timing or my presentation, but either Brraves or Indians won out

.

QUACK!!!!!

KRAK-KRAK!!!!

Nice irrelevant topic Krak. Getting back to team names, and expanding on the Oscar theme. How about...
The Shutouts (in honor of Spielberg and Munich)
The TransAmericans (a step beyond your normal co-ed team).
The Ringers (these guys would travel in a short team bus)
The Cinderella Men (underdogs in glass cleats)
Cold Blood ( Is America ready for Capote style baseball?)
Team Syriana (Nobody would know what the h*** was going on)
Crash (racial tension? The Dodgers could just change their name)
King Kong (big ape, gets too big for own good, falls for a white chick who ultimately does him in.... Bonds could play for this team)
We Suck ( managed of course by Jon Stewart)

Coached against a team called the
Mama's Boyz a few years ago. They were from Cali.
Had pretty sweet unis though.
