Team Names

azkyote84 · 08-21-2003, 03:30 PM

I figured I would post this here since this is where most of the creative minds hang out.

Pioneer is expanding this coming season and we are looking for some team name suggestions.

We are looking for suggestions outside of the 48 states yet still in North America. Also would like to shy away from big cities.

Thanks everyone!

Canadian cities?

azkyote84 · 08-21-2003, 05:53 PM

definitely Canadian cities, especially if they aren't well known!

How about the Regina Pride, this is my team in a fictional league I run.. Here is their logo..

I had Inuvik Storm for my own solo league. Thought it was a real original name.

These names are great, I've added them to our message board for the owners to see. Please keep them coming!

I came up with a good fictional team, especially if you are looking for small towns. The town is Machias, Maine....way on the eastern part of the state. This is the first place in the continental US where the sun rises. Their name....Machias Daybreaks. No logo though, sorry.
