Vancouver team name ideas plz.

Scottiedog · 01-08-2013, 08:50 AM

I'm thinking about expanding or just moving an existing team to Vancouver, Canada or Portland, Oregon in my solo league.
I really don't wanna go with the cheesy "Canadians" or similarish monikers for Vancouver.
Does anyone have any solid team name ideas for either team?

Vancouver Mounties or Beavers, Terminals is another good one. All have logos created in one of Knucklers threads.
Portland Moose is one i use

Tourists (2nd largest industry)
Northern Stars (nicknamed Hollywood North)
Railheads (being the railhead of the transcontinental railroad)
Mariners
Mountaineers
Maples
Alders
Red Cedars
Swamp Anything (large areas of swampland)
SkyTrains (Vancouver's SkyTrain system is currently running on three lines)
Trolleys (Vancouver currently has the second-largest trolleybus fleet in North America, after San Francisco)

Out of curiosity why Rioters? Something to do with how they flip out every time the G-8 meets their?

Vancouver Mucks.

I was going to say it because of the riot after the canucks lost.

The Stanley Cup loss made me think of rioters, but the whole G-8 thing doesn't help them either.

Not cheesy or anything, but Lumberjacks or something similar (you know floating down the rivers of British Columbia with me best girl by my side)
Salmon
Kodiaks
Grizzlies (taken I know)
Polar Bears

Polar Bears? Seriously?

And you wonder why Canadians make fun of Americans not knowing anything about us...

gentlemanofleisure · 01-08-2013, 02:18 PM

Lumberjacks or Cougars.

Sorry, of course you know that Tigers and Lions are native to southeast Michigan, right? But seriously, outside of maybe Anchorage Alaska, and possibly Winnipeg, Manitoba, how many sustainable major league markets lie between Vancouver, British Columbia and the good Ole Arctic Circle?

Yes, seriously. Canada has polar bears.

I have personally seen a polar bear while on Canadian soil, near Churchill. Admittedly I saw it with binoculars, but it was a polar bear.

The point being that anyone who lives in Vancouver (a place the barely sees snow, even in the heart of winter) wouldn't be thrilled about having a team called the 'polar bears'.

Now if Yellowknife were to have a team...

For Vancouver ocean and forest names work much better. Mountains work as well.
