Re: Team Names/Themes List

That earlier post was about robot names... and I do not know if it would go over quite as well with some of the more unique team names.

Just a personal preference.... (and a lesson learned from many summers of having to come up with neighborhood swim team names in my childhood)... the more unique the name/theme... the better and easier to remember.

A childhood favorite... The (Eveningwood Pool) Silver Pickles! We even made a giant paper-mache silver pickle complete with goggles and a cape that traveled to meets with us.

For example in FIRST... Teams like Exploding Bacon, The Holy Cows, Space Cookies, SPAM, or The Cheesy-Poofs are rarely confused for other teams due to the catchiness of their names. Other teams have strong themes... like Miss Daisy's flowers, Raider Robotics' Hawaiian shirts, The Devil Ducks, & Space Coast's pink.


Some random mascot/theme suggestions follow...

-Silver Pickles (and if you use this one... I'd love a team shirt!)
-Aardvarks or Platipi
-Something related to Perforated Toilet Paper Rolls (Invented and Patented in Albany!)
-"The Dukes of Albany" -Could be morphed into a Knight or Dukes of Hazard theme.
-"The Outstanding Ocelots"
-Pirate theme
-Survivor/Castaway theme
-Hospital/ER theme
-Rusty Bolts
-The Short Circuits (Johnny 5 is Alive!)
-A pop-culture reference like the Edsel

I don't know if any of that helps... but there it is.
