Help me name my Chicago team

jpeters1734 · 12-08-2014, 03:58 PM

I am not happy with my fictional Chicago team's name. Chicago Fire seems overused and I don't want them named after a real team.

Since I'm taking suggestions, I'm also looking to move New Jersey and rename them since they are perennial losers and make no money. Same for Hanover but they will be staying the Titans.

My league started as a Pennsylvania league and slowly branched out to some surrounding states. Thanks for the help

I like these two myself, courtesy of knuckler.

jpeters1734 · 12-08-2014, 04:07 PM

they are great logos however, I don't dig the elephant and I already have a Bulldogs in the league.

dishnet34 · 12-08-2014, 04:10 PM

How about the Skyliners? There's not a knuckler logo for them, but there is a cap/logo/jersey combo in the All-in-one Mod.

The Chicago Most Awesomely Awesome and Best City of All Time Baseball Ultra-Hyper-Stars.

Of course, I might be a bit biased.

Well, OK, I can see how that might not fit into a box-score.

How about Chicago Hitmen? The newspapers called the 1977 White Sox the "South Side Hitmen," which had sort of a gritty, gangster-style flavor with a baseball connotation.

Are you kidding? Chicago Hit Men! It references Chicago's mob past and baseball. Plus there are only a dosen different logos and uniform sets for it (it's not really original)

Maybe knuckler can modify this logo to say Chicago.

Chicago T-Rex (has the most complete T-Rex skeleton)

Chicago Chinooks (wind)

Why don't you like the Fire? Is MLS even a pro sport?

I have tons of logos and jerseys for the Fire and one I am working on which is using the Calgary Flames logos C on the cap and jersey.
Hitmen is my 2nd choice since they are also part of both my ABF & IBL leagues.
other choices
Rush AFL team
Wind some indy team
Lakers Lake Michigan
Cheetahs some indy team
Black Sox
Stampede
Skunks or Onions which the Native American word shikaakwa for Chicago means.
Honest Abe's
Phoenix Chicago rose from the ashes of the Great Fire.
#2's 2nd City
66ers Route 66

I always like the name zephyrs as well, both for the wind and the train connotation. I also like the name Untouchables for a Chicago team.

I recently named a team the Chicago Rogues, which has been nice.
