Greatest team nickname ever

Yuma High Criminals - Arizona

 

The Jamestown College Jimmies.

 

That was going to be my pick. I got one of those t-shirts a few years ago.

 

LOL, Cougarguy recently got me a Banana Slugs shirt on his recent jaunt to California.

One good nickname:
Alamosa (Colo.) Mean Moose

 

Macon Whoopee.

 

I'm holding out hope South Carolina changes its nickname.

Don't know about you, but I'd gladly purchase some Gamecockdians gear.

 

Oglethorpe University Stormy Petrels.

 

Cairo (Ga., pronounced Kay-ro) Syrupmakers

Johnson of Savannah, located near the Savannah River nuclear bomb plant, is the Atom Smashers

 

Poca High School in West Virginia ... nickname is Dots. The Poca Dots. No, I'm not kidding.

Another one I thought of isn't actually a real team, but I always thought it was hilarious. In the back of USA Today Sports Weekly, years ago, there used to be these ads for fictional minor league baseball caps. I guess the deal was the company that made these picked towns with unique sounding names and made up a nickname that went with it. And the one that sticks in my mind is the Shamokin Dopes of Shamokin, Pa. The cap had a picture of a guy all goggley-eyed from -- wait for it -- smokin dope. Low humor, obviously, but I still laughed out loud every time I saw that ad.

 

I'll bet their cheerleaders have interesting dance routines.

 

Frankfort(Indiana) Hot Dogs.

 

Freeport (Ill.) Pretzels.
