Chinese bandits.

Many otherwise fine nominees fail to meet op thread specification "unit".

Going back many years:

Gashouse Gang--Nickname for the 1934 St. Louis Cardinals

Triplets--The late Al McGuire's nickname for the Great Arkansas roundball trio of Ron Brewer, Sidney Moncrief and Marvin Delph.

Someone on page 2 asked about the Skins WR group's nickname. They were called the Fun Bunch

The Fun Bunch was not just the Skins WR it was the WR TE and RB and group that did the group high 5. Off of that the Smurfs were formed when Monk got hurt that year.

The question was about the group with Clark, Sanders, and Monk in the late 80's. I do not recall them ever having a name.

The Dolphins also had the Marks Brothers. That was a pretty good name.
