I can't believe the NBA actually has a staff to develop team names and logos. Blind monkeys banging on typewriters could have done better. Granted Greenville NC is a groovy town. But what the hell is a Lowgator? Is 'Altitude' even a noun? And Riverdragon can only be exceeded in stupidity in the history of sports bu 'Thunderbears' www.nba.com/news/nbdl_teamsannounced_010717.html?nav=SiteFragment It would be pointless and fruitless for us to suggest better names, the NBA probably has already spent millions on development ant promotion. But......what the hell, it's summer , the market is dead and I don't really have anything better to do. Ashville Highlanders or The Ashville Ridge (Blue Ridge Parkway) The Columbus Nukes (I believe that is where the Savannah River Nucler Plant is) The Fayettteville Fightin Tobacco Farmers The Greenville Grenediers The Huntsville Rocket Scientist ( Ok that's not very good) The Mobile Bays The North Charleston Slavemasters (the all white team) The Roanoke Riders Well that killed 2 minutes, have fun with it.
How about these: Asheville Homeys (tribute to Thomas Wolfe) Columbus Vespuccis (living in the U.S.V.?) Fayetteville BallHogs (get to the Show/tribute to Joe Johnson) Greenville Villains (Nasty Boys of the NBDL) Huntsville Headbands (the worst NBA fashion trend ever) Mobile Shrimps (a seafood irony-- like the small lineup) Charleston Chucks (tribute to the old All-Stars) Roanoke Cornrows (a lame almost-rhyme)
