Why aren't their any NFL teams that are insects. They have factory worker teams, so many various animals, mythic creatures, cowboys and Indians, pirates, elements etc. But no BUGS. Also why doesnt Nebraska or the Dakotas or montana/Wyoming have nfl teams? It'd be great for their economies.

The Omaha Earwigs would be a sweet as fuck team. Or the New Mexico Scorpions, they would rule. The Boise Ticks would easily be a 8/9 win a year team for sure.

Bro there isnt even a reptile team in the nfl. Just a bunch of birds and some literal fucking prey animals

>>152511741
That's true. The south Dakota galapogos sea turtles or Georgia salamanders or something. Gotta make it happen. Anyone know a billionair?

because there are like five people living there.

Beetles could be a fun team name. Make it one of these chompy ones and it looks menacing. If they're shit you can call them the >Dung Beetles

>>152511891
Maane you k ow what I mean, BUGS. Arachnids and even arthropods and creepy crawlies. Some people dont even think turts are reptiles, they think they are just rough and hard aquatic mamilians or fish. Some consider squids and whales fish cuz they breath liquefied oxygens. Oaxotyls are pokemon.

What I want to know is what was a Washington redskin?

Sorry Austriabro but Ill side with
>>152512079 and >>152512119 on this one. It was clear he meant "crawly thing" and him wrongly using the term insect to refer to arachnids or whatever theyre called is a completely understandable and irrelevant mistake. My boy just wants a team with more that four legs bro
>>
>>152511734
Why the fuck would anyone name their team the X-City Insects? You want your team to be commanding with their presence. Insects get squashed like the bugs they are all the time, often without a second thought. But do you want to fuck with an eagle, or a patriot, or a brown? Hell no.

I miss buzz, GT is still one of the most sovlfvl teams but the erasure of buzz, bright yellow, and navy uniforms has set them back

We have noble and dignified team names. Imagine naming your sports team after vermin.
>Nebraska or the Dakotas or montana/Wyoming have nfl teams
Because they're poor and relatively few people live there. I think all of those states combined have the same population as Los Angeles. Pro-sports is a business not an economic stimulus program.
>>152512079
Redskin is a slang term for injuns. Before they moved to DC, they were the Boston Braves.

Maybe nerbraska, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and the Dakotas can pull a new England patriots type of deal, idk what that "area" of the u.s could be called, like "new/old heartland" or west or something. Surely by their powers combined they could come together with something to call their own. Pretty sure Nebraska and Wyoming both have hate boners for denver (because of the weed back in the day, the highway police always looked for Colorado plates looking for a bust)

Just rubs me the wrong such a large swath of land only has the cornhuskers to get football happy about. Hell even Iowa doesnt have an NFL team. Neb and Wyoming are known for cattle and homesteaders.
"The New Heartland Cattlemen" or some shit. Cowboys and broncos could have a new rival. Im really drunk and hate Nebraska so much I apologize

because aside from scorpions insects are lame as hell
you'd basically be setting yourself up for endless "squashed like a bug" jokes every time you lose a game or have a subpar season
>>
>>152512225
The Charlotte Hornets are a good identity and they've been shit for most of their existence, had one of the shortest players of all time as one of their early great players and never get "squashed" references because frankly they're too trite and cliche for a professional journalist and too corny for an influencer.
>>
Salt Lake City loves their Bee references.
Generally cities don't like being associated with bugs. They want to be associated with their workers or mightiness or animals of prey that don't require an explanation of "well, did you know this species of beetle is predatory and mostly feeds on smaller bugs"
They just want "Panthers, Jaguars, Lions" you know they're gonna pull you apart with little empathy.
>>
>>152518540
The Hornets aren't even named for the insect but after the Revolutionary War troops who fought off the British. General Cornwallis described the fighters of the Carolinas as " a hornet's nest of rebellion"
>>
>>152516436
Hell yeah. As an Albuquerquian id instantly be a die hard. Make it happen Roger Goodell. The Utah Canyons and Anchorage Beavers for the hell of it too. Or bring the Oilers back and build Alaska a massive super dome for em

Fuck the nfl, who's your WNBA team?

Loggerheads was always a name i had in mind.
Loggerhead is local southern slang for alligator snapping turtles. Or it could be used for referencing loggerhead sea turtles.
But i think it just sounds cool on its own for a team name.
Loggerheads.

Ill take it. Can call em the logs or loggies for shorthand nicknames and stuff. Ill take anything really. As an Iowafag, there is no rhyme or reason to what teams people out here seem to love. I know dudes who grew up loving the broncos and dudes who love patriots/vikings etc. People from no teams states just grow up liking whoever they think have a cool jersey and that's that, no true local pride to ride high on

The Fireflies would make for a gorgeous women's team name (basketball, maybe)
"Monarchs" oftern gets used in relation to royalty, but if you went with the butterfly angle, it'd make for a great women's team again (plus, "queens" as a nickname)
