Blue Marlin Hats
blue marlin hats
When I bought the computer, I did not care to name correctly (a list of the worst names of all sports)
After several years of moving a flip through the channels and see bad teams play a bad game it is, has come to my attention that some franchises are actually misnamed PROFESSIONAL there. Do not get me wrong, for the fanbases of the teams are certainly not bad for fans to support your local hometown team, but one would think that any fan would at least be proud of what they are wearing on his hat, shirt, pants, or anything else you can buy with your team logo on it.
There is where we got to my list today, compiled from stupid team names of all sports, covering all sports, except for the NFL, because honestly, except sometimes of the Texans, who sometimes sounds like a drunken bum team name, and sometimes sounds like an ingenious idea for a name was left off the list. So now I present, with an investigation of Lil, and a lot of time, from the list.
MLB team
- Florida Marlins and the Panthers (NHL)
Florida obviously has some kind of insecurity among citizens, taking into account half of the professional teams at the beginning of the state with the state (which would suggest that maybe do it for a tax break ... but the state tax are not even in Florida!) All Cities and people who are in Florida, Tampa Bay, Jacksonville, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, you should at least give them a reason to come to games, and do not give a reason statewide to ignore. Do not get me wrong, Carolina has been known to do the same, but do not have the list of Florida does. Illinois Believe me if we had anything, I would not go to any of their games either.
NHL Teams
- Columbus Blue Jackets
Here is the explanation official of an unnamed official of the team:
Yellow jackets are hardworking and team oriented, which should strike fear into the hearts of our opponents, but wanted wear blue jackets because Michigan had more soldiers in the Civil War than any other state, and that some soldiers call "blue jackets" (though not many), and after all, two of the NHL teams are new to the south, and we want to stress that have not name it after the India blue jacket because that is not politically correct, although as India decided to write from blue jacket should be a word like yellow jackets.
Hmm ....
- Nashville Predators
Formed in 1998, the team came into existence almost by accident after the New Jersey Devils initially tried to move Nashville in 1995, talks became a reality, and the city began to build a space for his new team hope. However, those plans fell through, leaving Nashville and annoying people have built a new arena and not have a team to play in it. Then in 1997, enlargement negotiations began with the NHL and soon the proposals are on the table names. Among those proposed were "Ice Tigers," "Fury" and "attack" were selected among the 75 names proposed. Craig Leipold, a businessman from Wisconsin, the foundation of the new team, suggested the name of "predators" to be introduced in a vote among the four. His name won ... but why would you get that name do you want? Well, apparently, are "party" or a saber-toothed tiger during an excavation at the site of a local bank in Nashville in the 70's. I guess it's a good thing that he uses his imagination to escape the dirt ... although it would be in line with the music industry its best I guess.
- Dallas Stars
It is always a shame when a team moves from one city to another, but here with the Dallas Stars. Originally the Minnesota North Stars moved to Dallas in 1993. One of the things I've never understood why it is quiet is maintained the name of your computer, and just change the city ... but that's not what happened here yet! The North Stars dropped the "North" was the best part of that name and became the 'Stars'. WTF? Why do that? Why not "Dallas Wranglers" or something that is a little more texasy? Why try to carry on the tradition with you to a state that does not even deserve a hockey team (but again, I do not "think any team in Southern Tennessee deserves a hockey club, but that's me. Quiet possibly one of the greatest tragedies to ever hit the state of Minnesota.
NBA teams
- Toronto Raptors
Part of the big push in Canada NBA 1995 (along with the Vancouver Grizzlies, who in only 6 years realized Canada aims and moved to Memphis) were the first NBA teams based in Toronto since 1947, when the Huskies played in Toronto before leaving the league the following year. So why the Raptors? Honestly, it was because of Jurassic Park. The dinosaur was popular in the movie and on the basis of one vote, that's what happened with the computer. In recent years, Canadians have become angry with the name due to the expanding list of fashion and sites have emerged as calling torontohuskies.org for a name change. Let this be a lesson to us all not to let the fans vote for a team name, otherwise might have had more names stupid teams like New York Tomogotchis or vampires in New Jersey. A chilling thought.
- Los Angeles Lakers
Another team lost to Minnesota, he went to Los Angeles in 1960 after being the Minneapolis Lakers for 23 years prior (which makes since, land 1,000 lakes, etc.) This was a new name brought to the club after the original franchise, the gems of Detroit, moved from Detroit to Minneapolis in 1947, and not call themselves themselves the "Minneapolis Gems" were called "The Minneapolis Lakers" IE land of 1,000 lakes, etc. It was an original idea and held the test of time. Who would have thought however that he would move to the land of 1,000,000 pounds of pollution? I guess that makes you think twice before jumping into any lakes, eh? O good.
Honorable mentions:
-
Charlotte Bobcats
Apparently, the owner name the team after himself (his name is bob) Bad karma everywhere.
