Stingers, Cyclones, Blackhawks, Wildcats, Lions, Lobos, and a few more that I don't remember. A lot of those teams lasted multiple years. I still have my jerseys from most of them

My soccer team was sponsored by a local electrical supply company. We were called the Shockers.

Our team stuck together from U6 to U18ish.

I remember being in middle school and finding out that the shocker is two in the pink and one in the stink. Pretty enlightening

Back On topic.

I love the DETROIT TIGERS back in the day. 1968!!!

And so on.
FOOTBALL was the BROWNS [pros] and the MEEEEEECHIGAN Wolverines[College]. Though I did find an affliction for LSU at 11 Years old while living in Mich. I guess I knew MY calling evem back then!!!
