This. The "Big Red Machine" or "Bronx Bombers" are only known as that colloquially. Nowhere in the NFL or NHL records do the Steelers appear as "The Steel Curtain" or the Flyers as the "Broad Street Bullies".

I currently have four of the best power hitters in the league in my lineup, and I do colloquially refer to them as the "Four Horsemen" (the rest of my lineup's crap, but meh). However, I don't want the game calling them that, because as Questdog points out, I highly doubt it would do it properly. Just look at nicknames.
