Top 10 college team names
The Top 10 campaign here at b5media has been a big success. All of the bloggers have had a lot of fun making up lists of the best and worst in the world of sports.
I had so much fun coming up with my Top 10 college basketball jerseys and Top 10 Ugliest college basketball jerseys, it started me thinking - I’ve barely scratched the surface here.
The first topic that came to mind is team names. There are lots of cool team names, some mediocre team names, and some absolutely awful team names.
I’m NOT talking about mascots here - I’ll save that for another posting.
So, here is my Top 10 list of the coolest college team names:
#1 - Michigan Wolverines - the perfect name for a sports team. Wolverines are ferocious, nasty and intimidating.
#2 - Alabama Crimson Tide - combine a cool color with the visual of a tide sweeping their opponents away.
#3 - Army Black Knights - these aren’t any ordinary Knights, these are the Black Knights. Dark, mysterious, overpowering. Great name.
#4 - Akron Zips - what’s not to love about a team called the Zips?
#5 - Miami Hurricanes - everybody understands the raw power and energy of a hurricane.
#6 - Hawaii Warriors (formerly Rainbow Warriors) - I was sad when Hawaii dropped the Rainbow from their name. And who isn’t afraid of Warriors?
#7 - St. Johns Red Storm - when the Johnnies changed their name from Redmen to Red Storm, I was all for it. A storm is brewing on the horizon…
#8 - DePaul Blue Demons - I think Demons is a great name for a team, and adding Blue in front of the name adds a little something extra to the mix.
#9 - Arkansas Razorbacks - this is one Hog that you definitely don’t want to mess with.
#10- Nevada Wolf Pack - another great visual - a group of silent, fierce predators stalking their prey.
My Top 10 list of the worst college team names will be posted early next week.
