I was never that keen on the Cherry Blossoms for the Japanese national rugby union side.

Well technically it wasn't the AFL back then, it was the original name for the Fitzroy FC.

Some of the ones around Australia are pearlers;

St Michaels FC (now Horsham Saints) in the Wimmera League get called the Fisheaters :lol:

Or in one of the Sydney Leagues, their Uni Team is called the Sydney University "Students"...hello! :roll:

Maitland Pumpkin Pickers play in the Newcastle Rugby League.

Recently shortened their nickname to just "Pickers."

Just doesn't have the same ring to it...

Barmera Soccer Club are the Pelicans

Moorook Kingston FC in the Riverland used to be the Beetles before changing to the Warriors

Then there is the Wunkar Bulldogs from the same league

one of my favourites are the Flinders Uni Crabs

I love the abbreviation of Flinders Uni Cricket Club. In all honesty, they're not a bad bunch of FUCCers...

Willaston donnybrooks would have to be right up there, but at least it means all in brawl so it's still kinda tough sounding

Freeling cricket club are the water hens, at least that's what we think it is, haven't seen any evidence either way!

Moorook-Kingston were apparently named by the Beetles by club great, and former Norwood player, Harley Swanbury at the time when The Beatles were top of the charts, IIRC. It was also Swanbury who made the club song, "a high-flying flag".

US high schools and Universities have some crackers.

Marshall University in West Virginia should have had a name change in 1970 when their entire Thundering Herd Football team went thundering into the ground after a plane crash returning home from their only charter flight trip of the season.

All but 4 junior year players killed. Forced the NCAA to change the rules for them to field a team the next season so they could play freshmen in the Varsity team. Got spanked for the next 10 years.
