Need Nickname Ideas For Cincinnati

The Game · 05-12-2016, 07:28 PM

In my ABF league I currently have the Cincinnati Reds, once the Redlegs. Trying to get away from many MLB names.
Also need an idea for Atlanta. They have been the Peaches in the past and will be the Coca Colas for a brief time in the future.

And while this is not the Mods forum, if you have logos or jerseys could you post them.

Cincinnati is known for Skyline Chili, is on the Ohio River and is known as the Queen City. You could call them:

Chili Peppers
Red Chilis
Green Chilis
Chilis
Riverboats
Steamboats
Royals (like the defunct NBA team)
Kings
River Rats
River Dogs

Wish I had a better list for you.

I've always liked the Cincinnati Royals, I think it slides off the tongue well.

If you want alliteration, you could call them the Cincinnati Coneys, which is what we call a chili dog in the Queen City.

Traditionally, Cincinnati was known for its slaughterhouses, and an early nickname for the town was "Porkopolis". There are many pig-themed institutions in the city, so if you're looking for local flavor, I would suggest going down the pig route. It will also give you a cute-and-cuddly mascot.

I'll post more ideas as I think of them.

Royals would work the best. i have tons of Royals uniforms and Royal blue is not often used in my league although Kansas City Huskers use it. And i could easily do some Red royals jerseys.

What about Atlanta? Would like to stay away from Flames. i plan on using some Flames jerseys for future Chicago Fire jerseys.

Atlanta....

Peaches?
Crackers?

The original name of Atlanta was Terminus, so something with a train theme?

As a native Cincinnatian whose favorite animal is the otter, I heartily endorse this!

River Otters is too MiLB for me. I already have the Chicago Fire.

They were already the Peaches, although i could go back to it but i hate all the Peaches logos out there.
They are called the rebels now sporting a Confederate battle flag on their logo, Crackers (I know about the real name a bit) is too controversial moving into the 90's.
Anyone have any good bootleggers, moonshiners or NASCAR nicknames?

Yes, but they'd be better for a Charlotte team...

I called my Cincy team the Hogs. Pork industry ties and all.

What about Atlanta Capitals since it is the capital of Georgia.

Atlanta was named after that one 5th Doctor-era Doctor Who storyline where Nyssa leaves and is inexplicably fan-servicey?

Sorry, nerd cred showing.

Any set of options requires a few mediocre ones to compare against - here's one of those

And (tic) for Atlanta there's always the Shermans

You could borrow from Cincinnati minor league hockey past and present:

Swords
Stingers
Cyclones
