Well a herd of them thundered into the ground. Perhaps in today's world they may consider a change but may not in 1970.

interesting discussion going on at the moment about whether the washington redskins should change their name due to the obvious racial connotations. I think they should to be honest.

Surprised strawb hasn't jumped on this one... Ice hockey, the Columbus Blue Jackets!!!

They moved their franchise to Washington but Montreal expos is pretty odd.

The Frontier League (baseball) throws up some unusual ones, my fave being the Traverse City Beach Bums. The other strange one in the same comp is the Normal CornBelters,

Probably because they were French. :smile:

The Biloxi Shuckers (Milwaukee Brewers AA affiliate)

I know they moved from New Orleans, but the Utah Jazz always seem funny to me. They should have renamed them the Utah Stars
(Old ABA team name) and given Jazz back to New Orleans.

Can't imagine too many jazz musicians coming from Salt Lake City.

Interesting name for New Orleans minor league baseball team

Love it. I might become a Baby Cakes supporter!

Im an Erie Seawolves man for AA.

First off, wolves don't live at sea. Apparently they're pirate wolves.
Secondly, Erie is on the banks of Lake Erie, not the sea.

I like the Erie Otters in Minor League Hockey. Their name makes a bit more sense.

Here is a nice cuddly mascot

No they shouldn't. Should not have to change their name.

We are all to quick to change things to keep the PC Police happy

They are a private enity with over 70 years history so no it should not be changed!!!

As a Redskins fan I would hate it to be changed

I heard this on Melbourne radio. During an interview with Clayton Oliver from Melbourne, he mentioned that he played against the Congupna footy team. Bill Brownless said "the roads?". Yep, they are the roads. Their guernsey is a sash design with a road on it!

I bet they are streets ahead of the opposition

Is the footy club in a dead-end town?

No, but there's only one way to get to it.

Makes it easy for the newspaper headline should they get beaten... "Road Kill"
