Help Name My EuroMLB Teams

sean-patin · 06-05-2006, 01:55 PM

I am planning on creating a real-life universe with a few fictional leagues/teams. I have decided on 10 European Major League teams at this point. Anyone who has team nicknames for the cities that I have selected or ideas for up to 6 more cities/nicknames, feel free to offer suggestions....

Current EuroMLB:

1. Amsterdam Nightwalkers
2. Athens Olympians
3. Berlin Blitz
4. Brussels Thunder
5. London Werewolves
6. Madrid Conquistadors
7. Moscow Express
8. Paris Towers
9. Warsaw Warriors
10. Vienna Vigilantes
11. Rotterdam Neptunes
12. Antwerp Diamonds
13. Lisbon Navigators
14. Cardiff Castles
15. Geneva Neutrals
16. Dublin Fighting Irish
17. Prague Liberators
18. Rome Gladiators
19. Helsinki Heroes
20. Glasgow Assault

I will be separating these into 4 divisons of 5 teams (North/South, East/West) after I finalize the team locations/names.

What, no team in Italy?

As for the existing teams, I'd name the London squad after the former minor-league team in London, Ontario: the Werewolves of London. Awooooooo! And Russian athletic team names tend to have industrial motifs because of the Soviet emphasis on industry. Their soccer teams have names like Dynamo, Locomotive, etc.

sean-patin · 06-05-2006, 02:01 PM

There are none in Italy because I am going to create the Serie A1...

Berlin Blitz
London Knights, Templars
Moscow Cossacks, Dynamo
Warsaw Pacts??,
Madrid Conquistadors

Vienna Saus... ok no

shefffred · 06-05-2006, 02:14 PM

Antwerp Diamonds (Good on 2 levels!!!)

SDtwin · 06-05-2006, 02:14 PM

Vienna Stallions or White Stallions

I think they have famous white horses or something like that so I thought this would be fittiing but it looks likes you picked your names. Have fun

Khan · 06-05-2006, 02:21 PM

Brussels Bishops, Kings
Paris Riflemen, Archs, Hunchbacks, Towers..... ugh

Gelete · 06-05-2006, 02:21 PM

Some ideas....

1... Praha Golems
2... Lisbon Navigators
3... Bucarest Nosferatus (or Bucarest Vampires)
4... Copenhaggen Sirens
5... Stokohlm Vikings
6... Ankara Halfmoons
7... Viena Waltzers
8... Geneve Neutrals

and so on....

and for Madrid yo can also use Madrid Osos (oso=bear, the symbol of the city); or Madrid Gatos (Gato=cat, nick name for the people that has at last two generations that were born in Madrid, parents and greatparentes,and that comes from the Middle Age, when the soldiers from Madrid were used to climb up the battelments of the muslim castles in attacks and sieges because they were the best ones in these tasks in the Spanish Cristian Army).
