Now soliciting team name ideas for my new fic league...

andjbock · 03-18-2005, 05:24 PM

I just drafted up a new league. Since my original fic league has me being on par with the Yankees (unlimited $) I wanted to draft a team that would suck up front, so its loaded with minor league prospects and crap major leaguers.

I'm waiting for 6.12 to come out, but in the mean time I want to come up with some ideas for teams.

I want the teams to be loosely connected in terms of they are all corporate sponsors or they are all from a specific part of the world that connects them to one another somehow.

Anyone have ideas on what I could do for team names and have them be connected?

If it is a corporate league you want:

Take a corporate name and put a nickname that is related to its products or services.

Exxon Oilers....Chevron Roughnecks...BP Drillers...
Boeing Bombers...US Postal Service Eagles...FedEx Shippers
Wal-Mart Merchants...Barnes and Nobles Bookworms...Ford Mustangs...Chevrolet Impalas...Dodge Rams...Jeep Cherokees...Microsoft Cybercats...McDonald's Golden Arches...RCA Victors...GE Electrons...John Deere Stags...Buick Roadmasters...KFC Colonels...GMC Jimmies...Ford Jaguars...Kubota Clodbusters...Geico Geckos...AFLAC Quackers

If you a league with world regions:

Europe: London Monarchs...Dublin Emeralds...Madrid Matadors...Rome Gladiators...Moscow Mongols...Amsterdam Windmills...Oslo Vikings...Helsinki Icebreakers...Athens Spartans...Lisbon Navigators

Asia: Beiping Imperials...Tokyo Rising Suns...Manila Gorillas...Taipai Typhoons...Jakarta Islanders...Saigon Commandos

South America: Mexico City Aztecs....Buenos Aires Gauchos...Lima Llamas...Havana Cubanos...Rio de Janiero Jaguars

Africa: Johannesburg Diamonds...Nairobi Nomads...Brazzaville Zebras...Kinshasa Spears...Addis Ababa Royals...Khartoum Caliphs...Casablanca Classics...Riyadh Stallions

You are right...I'll go back and edit it...My apologies to all, who might be offended...anything connected to that era should be avoided...it was a terrible time around the world.
