Wait!...There's no team called the '99ers. ling ling is making fun of tinman. speaking of racist names ... but
More specifically, they were the fastest of the fast in the age of sailing ships, made by the British to get tea from India and China to England ASAP. The ship that is the most famous clipper is the Cutty Sark, famous as a whiskey brand, it was also one of the last clippers. In the age of rail, some express trains also took up the clipper name, to indicate they were fast. The names that bother me are the ones where the team name is a singular noun - specifically the Heat and Magic. If a single player on the Rockets is aa Rocket, what is a single player,on the Heat or Magic?
Most professional teams' names are trash. I only like the Ravens, Rockets, Astros, Orioles, and Penguins.
Flyers Phillies Sounders Texans Browns Cardinals (esp. football) Red/White Sox knicks Longhorns clippers celtics Mavericks Gamec0cks Minutemen Aggies Jazz All of these responses are wrong.
Interesting... I wonder why they dont put like a sail boat in their logo or something, I can't be the only one who had know idea what it was and didn't care enough about them to look it up haha Im of the opinion that teams shouldnt have nicknames, well at least some like the Nets for example... what a crap name, they would be so much cooler if they were just called Brooklyn, "We are playing Brooklyn tonight." "How do you think Brooklyn is going to do this year?" than the fans could give them their own nicknames, like the Brooklyn Ballers or something... Just an idea
Still no one saying Spurs. It's a friggin boot accessory. Maybe when they finally land an NFL team, they'll be the San Antonio Belt Buckles. Or San Antonio Bolos
I think it's better than the Kansas City wiz or Kansas City wizards. I think the worst is Real Salt Lake.
stupid especially considering it's not a sports club. most euro teams that use that naming convention are full blown sports clubs with multiple sports and membership options.
