I really like the names that actually reflect the town's history. Arsenal is cool. In the US I like the Steelers and the Pistons. [/ QUOTE ] Although normally a really poor name, Coventry(UK)'s hockey team is Coventry Blaze, which considering Coventry got totally battered in WW2 is a reasonable name. Crimson Tide and Thundering Herd as others have mentioned are both great names. Most embarrassing name has to be the Gamecocks because of the 8 bazillion different obvious 'jokes' available. Lori

A little surprised you didn't mention Cpl. Klinger's beloved Toledo Mud Hens. Edit: [censored] the Crimson Tide. Can't use a mascot, so they adopt an elephant. A menstrating female elephant perhaps? [/ QUOTE ] The Elephant is a representation of a secondary nickname that got started for them in the 30s because the players were large.
