Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted May 17, 2010 I just remember my friend telling me about it, so I have no idea where it was, but there was a team called the Nads. Supporters would yell "Go Nads!" No joke that's actually the name of my beer league, but I don't know how we got the name. I joined halfway through the season. I do hear "Go Nads" all the time though. Back when I was in bantam hockey, our team was deciding on a name that would fit well with the ol' powder blue jerseys and some kid suggested that it would be hilarious to be something that has absolutely nothing to do with blue. The first thing that came up was "Camels" and it was instantly a unanimous vote in support of. Now, apparently this is a derogatory term for Middle-Eastern folk and this was right after 9-11. Despite our Coach's best efforts to try to convince us to change it without corrupting our minds with more derogatory terms in a sensitive time period, he was eventually left with the responsibility of explaining to all the parents why we were the Camels.

Seraph 240 Report post Posted May 17, 2010 No one will say it because they're an original six team, but the "Canadiens" is a really dumb name. Whenever I talk about playing or watching the "Montreal Canadiens" to my non-hockey fan friends, they are sure to emphasize how terrible of a name it is. From tradition it's grown on people I guess.

I like Canadiens. It is very classy, in my opinion. It is far better than Ducks, Avalanche, Penguins, or Wild. Those have to be some of the worst names in all of North American pro sports.

NC WINGS FAN 5 Report post Posted May 17, 2010 detroit red wings is a pretty bad name As a kid, I used to think the same and wonder why they ever changed their name from the Detroit Cougars. Now, I love it as it sounds classy, yet not wimpy, or like it is trying to be "tough", like XFL team. What a Redwing is is anyone's guess, so fans can use their imaginations and develop their own image of the name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those have to be some of the worst names in all of North American pro sports. Yeah, it's better than the ones you mentioned, but I agree with The Nephilim that the Canadiens, as well as the Canucks, aren't the most creative names ever. I can't imagine naming a team the Americans...it'd be like, well yeah, we kind of got that already from the fact that they play in an American city... I'm used to both now, though, and they don't bother me like the friggin' Wild or Avalanche or any of the non-count noun teams do (although none of them are quite as lame as the Miami Heat or the Utah Jazz, in my opinion). We used to have a minor league (can't remember what league) hockey team called the San Diego Gulls...add that one to the list of "lame bird names" along with the Ducks and Penguins. That's not quite as lame as the Long Beach Ice Dogs, though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
