New Team Names

[Diesel]

I hate how they have to copy American themes that have nothing to do with Australia.

The one that annoys me the most is the Titans, I have NFI what it has to do with the CG or Australia when they could've gone with a beach/marine theme. As for the Cowboys, Bushrangers or Marlins would've been so much better and as for the Broncos, surely there are more QLD styled mascots then a horse with an Americanise name.

Hatter you're right mate, from memory (was 22 years ago) a pic of Martin Bella in a NQ Crocs shirt in the paper was swiftly met with a potential lawsuit from the Sarina Crocodiles and the name got dropped. I think Boustead was behind the cowboys name, not many people up there at the time were too thrilled about the name.

Can't say I'm all too thrilled about their onfield efforts of late either.........

Having met and corresponded with a guy from the Southhampton Spitfires (playing in Southern England) during the RLWC , I think a team named after Australia's fighting jet - The Wirraway - would be a nice moniker for some team.

"jet"????

 

[Timbo]

The Spitfire was a bit more common, and successful, than the Wirraway.

I think the Wirraway only had one confirmed kill for the entire Second World War.

What exactly was a Gold Coast CHARGER?

 

[beave]

Wirraways were a bucket of shit, and yes only one confirmed kill and it was by pure ass that it happened.

NFL San Diego chargers , LA , USA

Chargers must be the dumbest name ever, it makes no sense. The NFL chargers were called so on the whim of their first owner

"I liked it because they were yelling ‘charge’ and sounding the bugle at Dodgers Stadium and at USC games.”

Ok first of all f**k you ;-)
Secondly every heard of the nets, magic, thunder, texans, browns, storm and glory, bills, dockers, power
Redskins is the worst team name though.

There's worse then there's just dumb. Chargers is just dumb. Yes redskins is so anti PC it is actually very funny IMO. Some gf those have a link at least like dockers, bills

 

[Lambretta]

it has local historical relevance (Parramatta means "where the eel lies", I believe)

Parramatta translates as "the home of the Eels"
So that sign that says "Parramatta the home of the Eels" actually says the home of the Eels the home of the Eels

Redskins isn't just ”anti pc” (wtf) it's a terribly offensive racial slur which the owner and the league continue to defend.
And just because a nickname has link to the area that a team represents it doesn't make them any less stupid, dockers, oilers

I don't really care where the names are from, it's just that they're so derivative
At least try to come up with something original.
