So you’ve decided to join the office’s softball squad or found yourself on a 3-on-3 basketball team at the local gym. Maybe you’re even diving into fantasy football for the very first time. No matter the scenario, you’ll likely have to brainstorm a witty team name. Simply using initials or naming yourselves after a local sports franchise? Boring! You want something entertaining and a bit unique, right?
The list below features some of the funniest team names out there, with many drawing inspiration from pop culture. But did you know some bizarre and oddball team names already exist? One particularly immature example is Idaho’s Butte Pirates. And in Michigan, there’s a team called the Watersmeet Nimrods. While “nimrod” was once a term for a hunter, we’re living in the modern age now. It’s almost as peculiar as the Flint Tropics. (“Everybody love everybody!”) Our favorite quirky name, though, is the Dunbar Poets. Will they win? Probably not. Will they lose gloriously? Also likely. But will they create epic tales of their athletic adventures? Absolutely. There’s a vast universe of comically strange and slightly inappropriate names out there. From the “Purple Pounders” (what?!) to the “Beaver Dusters.” While we don’t suggest you adopt those names, we’ve compiled a collection of equally amusing alternatives.
Here are some of the funniest team names for your consideration, though do note: many are not suitable for the little ones or may just fly over their heads.
