Dang you beat me to it ??

I’ve got a few tshirts, a license plate frame, and some various game day handouts I’m holding on to in hopes I can sell them on eBay for a nice payout in a few years

St. John's Redmen. Refuse to call them Red Storm. Still have a shirt with this on it.

Syracuse Orangemen. Y They'd long abandoned this logo when they changed to just Orange which I think is stupid.

Miami of Ohio Redskins

Arkansas state Indians

The Brass and Voodoo sound really stupid, especially because it doesnt have that plural ring.


Those were good minor league names but they’d be a joke in the NBA

Back in the day, when the idiots decided to change Washington Bullets….they had a contest and such.


“Washington Blanks” won.


Then we end up with the Wizards. fricking stupid, just like Commanders.

Landry-Walker Chargin' Bucs

Funny as hell logo for a merged team:

L.B. Landry Buccaneers (blue and athletic gold/yellow)
+
O. Perry Walker Chargers (blue and orange)
=
Landry-Walker Charging Buccaneers (blue, orange and atheltic gold/yellow) with a Buccaneer riding a charger.

Except in 2020, after only 7 years under a merged name, the late O. Perry Walker name got canceled because he was a segregationist, along with the merged team name and mascot. They are back to being the Buccaneers under the old Landry colors.

And that's not the West Bank's only merged team name. When girls Catholic schools Immaculata (the Pandas) merged with Archbishop Blenk (the Doves) the new merged school (Academy of Our Lady) decided to pick a new mascot. Adapting the black and white coloring of the Panda with the avian nature of the Dove, the new team name is the Penguins (which is ironically a somewhat derogatory nickname for nuns, and the school is run by the Salesian sisters):
