well, now that the mighty has been removed from the ducks...eh, but it's still a reminder of the shitty children's movie, so anaheim ducks

wait, are we including colleges?

Etc.?

Oops. Maybe people will think it's a thread about jazz.

Los Angeles Lakers is almost as bad as the Utah Jazz. Minnesota Lakers, that made sense.

Of course, Washington Redskins is reprehensible.

Minnesota Wild is a terrible name, but damn, their uniforms are nice.

Actually, the worst trend was the whole 90s idea of giving minor league baseball teams goofy Toledo Mudhens-type names. Sort of like those Cincinnati and Houston ballparks...quirky for the sake of being quirky.

i think this was about worst names, not worst teams...

Does Minor League Baseball count? They seem to have run out of ideas, thus the West Tenn. Diamond JAXX, who I've only heard of because they're a Mariners' farm team.



Also, pro-Lacrosse is pretty awful. My town's Lumberjax (what's with the jax thing, anyways?) and the Chicago Shamrox are equally terrible.


In real sports, I give the award to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim for too much information...but only because the Expos are no more.

Tampa Bay is just the Rays now.

If we include colleges, worst name by far is the Presbyterian College Blue Hose.

Is the mascot a blue garden hose? I'm intensely curious.

They ^^ probably are sox.

Redskins by a mile.

Stupid americanisation of Cricket counties to thread.

Also Young boys who play in wankdorf.

Houston Texans

Toronto Raptors

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim

BINGO!!!

also when the Northstars moved to TX that totally sucked

I was there for one year, so I can't recall the connection, but it's a Scottish thing.

Washington Redskins followed closely by the Cleveland Indians & the Minnesota Wild

Yeah.

I was living in Houston when this happened. How retarded is that name.

Chicago Sky
Connecticut Sun
Detroit Shock
Indiana Fever
New York Liberty
Washington Mystics
Houston Comets
Los Angeles Sparks
Minnesota Lynx
Phoenix Mercury
Sacramento Monarchs
San Antonio Silver Stars
Seattle Storm

Denver Nuggets

Well, they moved from New Orleans.

Any NBA or WNBA team would be the correct answer mostly because basketball is the worst sport.

Lady Vols.

"Lady" anythings.

Lady Redskins would be the worst.

But shy of that, Redskins.
