re: What is the best team name in professional sports?

I like names that are unusual and represent something about the city. A lot of the best examples have already been named:
NFL:
New Orleans Saints
Baltimore Ravens
Pittsburgh Steelers
SF 49ers
Houston Oilers
NBA
Detroit Pistons
Boston Celtics
Philly 76ers
Charlotte Hornets
MLB
Milwaukee Brewers
Minnesota Twins
Teams should stop using bulldogs, eagles, tigers, etc. unless there is some really good reason.
And I also really dislike geographically inappropriate nicknames like the Utah Jazz, LA Lakers, Memphis Grizzlies, etc.

Pels done fricked up passing up on the "Rougarou." They would have been the best.

great posts.
half are facetious regarding names that were stolen when the team was moved.
L.A. Lakers
It was the Minnesota Lakers, in the land of 10,000 lakes.

I like how the Pats use "New England" instead of Boston.
"Rebels" would be neat & unique for a pro team. I can't think of anyone else besides Ole Miss with Rebels.

I really like the Houston Astros and Rockets with the ties to space and NASA. I just wish the Texans were something spacey instead of Texans. Maybe Apollos or something.
