Great Team Names

Post by plasmoid »

Hi all,
inspired by the thread about funny names for players, I thought it would be interesting to hear some team names.
I'd like to hear the best names you've ever seen used (or just come up with).

Here's a list from my league. Some were actual teams, while others were just cool names invented by me and my pals:

Human (imperial): -
Human (Kislev): Ztar of the Tzar
Orcs: -
Dwarf: Deathwish (all slayer miniatures).
Skaven: Rattack Kill-Kill, Pox Runners
High Elf: Poetic Justice
Dark Elf: Ex Inferis

Wood Elf: Force of Nature
Chaos (Marauders): MonStars, Twisted Souls
Chaos (Beastmen): -
Chaos Dwarf: N*gger Dwarfs
Goblins: Bigbads Booger Boys
Halflings: Deadly Recipe
Undead: Afterlife Unlimited,

Amazon: (anything that becomes "PMS")
Norse: Frostbite
Lizardmen: Al Saurim
Bretonnian: Force Majeure
Khemri: Immortals
Vampire: Nocturnals

Here are a couple of names I kinda like from an old league I've played in:

Goblin: Fungus Loonies
Skaven: Pitfiends V (That's V for five.. The dude had four previous skaven teams demolished before he joined our league)
Wood Elf: The Men in Tights
Wood Elf: Woodstockers
Norse: Beerdrinkers and Hellraisers

Oh.. And I can't take credit for any of these names.. Just though I'd pass them on.. :)

Pun names are generally best.
My favourite would be my Estalian Undead team...the L.A. Reapers.
There's a high Elf team in my league called "Those Bastards".

The greatest team name ever though was a REAL one used by a now defunct British American Football team from Surrey. The Staines Removers.

Actually, I don't agree that pun names are the best names.
Sure, a good joke can work - but some team names are just too stupid for my liking.

Maybe I take BB too seriously, but such team names annoy me.
I wood elf team in my current league is called "Lardy Dardy Lumberjacks". That just doesn't work for me. :o

Martin :D

You should check out our team names, and our Player's names in the ABBL. Good stuff. Lots of Puns and twisting of words. =) Here is a list of the teams:

Lizards = Lustria Gators (twisted fromFlorida Gators)
Skaven = Skittsburgh Stealers (twisted from Pittsburgh Steelers)
Undead = Washington Deadskins (twisted from Washington Redskins)
Halfling = New Eggland Pastriots (twisted from New Eggland Patriots)

Those are our best team names.
I play the Lizardman team, here are a couple of my names that I am proud of:

Skinks = Wher Digo, Jinkn Jive, Nowusimi Nowudont.
Saurus = Imatellyu Somtin

Then our halfling Coach can't ever field this dude without some kind of laugh:

Halfling = Stiffy McBilbo (just say it outloud and try not to laugh)

how about an Amazon team I have planned called
"The 69ers" - they are currently called "the Brionne Bunnies" as the models are all bunny girls but they will be getting new sponsorship soon which will involve a name change. :)
Other names I have used down the years:
humans: Sherkargo Krushers
orcs: Da Impz (led by star player and coach Da Imp) / Severed Hedz (from 1st ed)
dark elves: Doonesbury Dodgers (no idea why!)
bretonnian: the Loencouer Lancers (duh)
chaos marauders: the Wasted (every player is named after a SA football player)
other names that have been in my league:
undead: Throwing Skulls (talk about cursing your team!)
wood elves: Wandering Leaves
orcs: Bogz Biggaz 'n Bettaz
skaven: Middenheim Warphunters

hey, I never said they were good! :lol:

I like fun names that somehow refer to real names of football teams. One of the best names I've come across was:

The New Ork Manglers

A few from the Snotling Championship's past and present:

Orc: Da Skrowtum Sak Bashaz, Da Kraynium Krushaz, Da Rektal Prowbz, Da Firkin Ankers, Da Tuzkan Raydaz
Amazon: The Porne Stars
Dark Elf: The Havoc Reakers
High Elf: The Ohfully Nice Geezers Club (ThONG)
Human: The Running Seamen

All had some excellent player names aswell. I must say, that the members of my league have a great knack of producing some superb player names. You can check them out from the Season Stats @ http://www.bloodbowl.co.uk

I just remembered...there used to be a Khemri team in our league called Double Skulls. REALLY asking for trouble.

If I remember right the TBBF has the PIttzburgh Squeakers...
my own skaven will be undergoing a name change when I finally get around to repainting them (have to get around to stripping them first for one thing.) I thought the Black Pass Bubonics sounded pretty good.

All my teams' names are just too damn sensible.
