Starting 60-team league. Help name my teams - Page 2

Any league without the Hoboken Zephyrs should not count.

Alaska Gold Rush? Imagine the uniforms.

My two cents.

I have these two teams in my fictional league. Good logo, Uniform and caps in the forums for both

Cleveland Rockers (Rock and Roll - Hall of Fame in Cleveland).
Phoenix Road Runners (defunct WHA team from the 70's).

I originally had a team in Buffalo but swapped them out for Syracuse and then Toronto. Great suggestion for a name though. I’d likely use it if relocation or expansion come up.

I like these. It would solve my dilemma of having 2 teams with fire in the name being in the same division

I’m not against using it for a minor league team. Good suggestion.

As such, I have Rookie, A, AA, and AAA. So there’s plenty of space for some good names to go

All yellow head to toe. That would be a sight.

Thanks!

Need a different name for the Wisconsin team (can't go with Gophers when that's UM's nickname, and they are Wisconsin's rivals).

Suggestions: Cheesemakers, Milkmen, Hops, Shockers, Keggers, Barrels, Robins, Muskies, Whitetails

Also, you don't have a Nashville team; but, I always suggest Nashville Warblers since birds are common nicknames

Lucas718 · 05-20-2021, 10:48 AM

Wisconsin was tough because I didn’t want to use Badgers and I’m not crazy about a lot of the cheese-related names. Muskies, though, is a good one.

Lucas718 · 05-20-2021, 10:52 AM

Probably an impossible request but I’m trying to find a good logo to use for the Ice Fishers and I’m coming up with nothing. It’s the last one I still need a logo for.

I’d prefer something with no text since these are doubling as the cap logos as well. If you know of anything that might work, please let me know, otherwise I might have to look into changing the name.

Found this online for Utah Ice Fishing. Includes fish frozen in ice cube that could be edited for a logo without text

That’s not bad. I think I can work with that and pull out the logo. Thanks!

I'm late to this party, but here are a few names I'm using in my fictional universe that you might like. My universe is planned starting in 1890 and running through 1956 so far, so some of these names have a more historic feel to them. All names are west coast.

Hawaii Islanders
Los Angeles Mustangs
Los Angeles Whitecaps
Oakland Oaks
Oakland Pioneers
Portland Blues
Portland Columbias
Portland Stars
Sacramento Gold Rushers
Sacramento Senators
San Diego Missionaries
San Diego Kings
San Francisco Franciscans
San Francisco Pacifics
San Jose Saiints
Seattle Lumberman
Seattle Pugets
Seattle Rainiers
Seattle River Pilots
Spokane Hawks
Spokane Spokes
Tacoma Grays
Vancouver Canadians
Vancouver Maple Leafs
Yakima Bears

How's this?

I couldn't figure out how to attach the picture to this thread.

That’s not bad. The front of the cap would probably have to be white to avoid losing any parts of the logo. Thanks

My league is a fictional league with about 146 teams, and playoffs is literally is NCAA March madness format. I used the names in which I could find jerseys, logos and hats here within the forums. It took a lot of work, but once I was set, the league is pretty awesome and hard!!

It has taken me 5 days just to get all 60 of my teams named and supplied with a logo. I can't even imagine trying to do that for 146 teams. I salute you!

What did you do for ballparks? I'm now trying to assign parks to each team. Was going to try messing with the Ballpark Creator but found it to be too tedious to work with, so I guess I'll be combing through all the custom ballparks the talented folks in the Mods section have created and going on a downloading spree.
