Arizona Cacti:
This is a pretty cool name. We should replace the pylons at the stadium with cacti. Watch out!
Atlanta Peaches:
Georgia. The state of peaches. Put the two together and you get this name.
Baltimore Blue Crabs
This name I think sound pretty cool. The last two didn't have much alliteration but this one does. The point of this one is first that the Blue Crab is Maryland's state crustacean but also Baltimore has the best crab cakes. Yum!

Detroit Invincible
This must be a hard team to beat. The reason for this is from the creation of the bulletproof vest. It was created by Richard Davis, a pizza delivery man in Detroit, was delivering pizzas and three armed robbers attacked him . He luckily was okay and the idea of "invincibility" was created.
Green Bay Cheese-heads
If you have every been to or have seen a Packers game, almost all of the fans wear cheese-heads. Also, the nickname of the Packers are the Cheese-heads. Sometimes nicknames are supposed to be real names in the first place.
Houston Meteors
If you haven't noticed before, every sports team in Houston, except for the Texans, are named after something to with space or NASA. The reason is because the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center is located in Houston. For example, the Rockets, Astros, and the now nonexistent WNBA team the Comets. It's time to change that.
Indianapolis Clowns
You are probably confused over this team name. If you known baseball history, you may understand it. The Indianapolis Clowns, a Negro League baseball team, were in existence from 1935 to 1989. One interesting fact is that Satchel Paige was once on them. He could have been the best pitcher all time if there was no segregation. Personally, I don't think the Colts team name needs to be changed, but this will do.
Jacksonville Filmers
Personally, I like the Jaguars current name but that is not the point of this article. They are now the Filmers because from the 1910's to the 1930's Jacksonville was the Hollywood before Hollywood. Who knew!?

St. Louis Caves

Some very interesting names!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It took us a long time to come up with them but we enjoyed the process.
ReplyDeleteHi! I love your article but I one slight problem/concern regarding the new name you gave to the New Orleans Saints. You see, I am from New Orleans and I was present during the devastation. People here still have horrible remembrance of the hurricane and the effects on people's lives it brought. You mention flooding in the paragraph Which you make to seem as a joke but in reality, flooding destroyed many families and it is not something to laugh at. I would greatly appreciate it if you would rethink your idea for the new name for the Saints and choose something that represents happy moments from our past not devastating memories. Thanks anyways! ---Cindy
ReplyDeleteNone of this was intended as a joke it was just a way of finding interesting facts about the cities and hypothesizing a good name relative to the interesting fact. We were just merely stating that New Orleans was susceptible to flooding because it was 2 feet below sea level, and the Superdome can create condensation in the dome. I can have the 1st sentence removed, if it reminds you so much of the terrible tragedy that was Hurricane Katrina, but the author of this article which was not me did not mean to offend anyone in any way
