I can't wait to see what some of these uniforms/logos are going to look like!!! Great team names guys!

For some reason I see Freddie Mercury being an excellent slap hitter...

I don't have a nickname for them, but Queen has to be in this.

I salute you sir for putting in the Dead!

What?! No Van Halen?!

Considering the history of VH's use of Eddie's famous stripes, think about THOSE uniforms!!

Dukie98 · 07-02-2016, 12:33 AM

Iron Maiden could be the Ancient Mariners. And the uniforms already exist...

Dr.K · 07-03-2016, 06:47 PM

C'mon, ZZ Top should be from La Grange (or, at very least, have a minor league affiliate there). Like, maybe, the La Grange Sharp Dressed Men.

Jacksonville Brothers (for the Allman Brothers)
Atlanta Outkasts
Portland (Oregon) Kingsmen
Seattle Experience (for Jimi Hendrix, who still trumps Nirvana, IMHO)
Queens (New York) Ramones (or Dee Dees, or Joeys)
Within Queens, you could have the Hollis Kings of Rock (for Run-DMC)
Champaign Speedwagons (probably a minor league outfit)
Athens (Georgia) B-52s (much better nickname than the REMs)

In honor of the OOTP's German game creators, how about:
Hanover Scorpions
Dusseldorf Kraftwerk (or Kraftwerkers) or the Dusseldorf Neu!
Soligen Accept
and, of course, the
Hagen Luftballoons (for Nena)

In Scotland, the Auchtermuchty Proclaimers has a nice ring to it.

In England, you could have the Manchester Smiths (or Manchester New Order, or Manchester Stone Roses, that's a tough city to choose from). Whatever the team there is called, they must play in the Joy Division, that much is clear.

I'm sure I'll think of more while walking the dog. It's a great idea for a league. Cheers.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

From the desk of the General Manager, Asbury Park Tramps

"With the first pick in the inaugural draft, the Asbury Park Tramps select Ricky Henderson, because Tramps like us, baby, we were born to run."

risp2out · 07-04-2016, 08:24 AM

Minneapolis Purple Reign (or just Purple Rain, if you like) or the Paisley Park Purple Reign for added alliteration.

And, then, during the strike year, you could field the Minneapolis Replacements.

risp2out · 07-04-2016, 08:25 AM

Long Beach Low Riders (for the band War)

risp2out · 07-04-2016, 08:25 AM

I'm torn between the Detroit Stooges and the Detroit Wonder (for Stevie). Both are deserving.

risp2out · 07-04-2016, 08:28 AM

New Orleans Meters

risp2out · 07-04-2016, 08:29 AM

Kingsland (Arkansas) Johnnies (for the inimitable Mr Cash)

risp2out · 07-04-2016, 08:30 AM

and don't forget the Abbott (Texas) Red Headed Strangers (for good ol' Willie)

risp2out · 07-04-2016, 08:34 AM

Belfast Vans
Belfast Moondancers
or
Belfast Brown Eyed Girls (if you just want to get weird)
