OT: Worst team names in sports?

[MHSL82]

Everyone adds the word Fighting to whatever they choose when they know the name wouldn't work alone. Notre Dame Irish? Nah, Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Fighting Pickles. Fighting Camels. Not that all these names "work."

And the fighting pickles is an art school must not be very good based on their creativity or they may have been mocking notre dame

[Edisto_Tiger]

I always chuckle when South Carolina is in town for a ball game. Especially when I see their cheerleaders holding up a "GOOO COCKS" sign

wish we still had rep.

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

Converse Valkyries
Erskine Flying Fleet
North Greenville Crusaders
Columbia Fighting Koalas
USC Beaufort Sand Sharks - really? the sand sharks? Why not tiger shark or bull shark?
USC-Sumter Fire Ants

I don't know about the others, but I think Fighting Pickles is totally redundant. Ever met a pickle that WASN'T starting shit?

My elementary school was Cotton Boll and our name was the rebels.

It was a cotton boll with a face and confederate hat on its head. Racist much? There was a lot of cotton fields around there, but still racist.

It ended up changing to Bulldogs when i was like in 4th grade though.

My high school was the Lee-Davis Confederates. (Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis) and the middle school was the Stonewall Jackson Rebels. The black principal tried to change the name to Bulldogs and that shit didn't fly with the town. They are still the Confederates.

I'm sure the Hitler Middle School Gassers would be fine if it opened up in Palm Beach.

Ah, Mechanicsville, Va huh? Good, they shouldnt change it. There is nothing wrong with that name.

Virginia has some pretty cool high school nicknames..Annandale Atoms, Fluvanna Flying Flucos, Parry McCluer Fighting Blues, Hampton Crabbers..Richmond Spiders is cool too.

Yessir. You familiar with the area?

Ive lived in different parts of the state. Northern Va now. More than anything Im just a huge fan of the high school football here in Virginia. I think Battlefield Park high and Washington & Henry high consolidated to make Lee-Davis way way back in the day. There was also Crewe high school down in Nottoway County nicknamed the Railroaders.

For some reason I thought they had gone coed, but I was wrong. It's still all girls. So yea, scratch that one.

Both Battlefield and Washington and Henry are open as elementary schools now. I know Battlefield is in the same building. I didn't know they consolidated to make Lee-Davis though. I just know it opened back in '59.
