What makes a team name work
Almost every team name that lasts does the same three things. It survives being read aloud, because someone will announce it, print it or shout it. It survives repetition, because a name that is funny once becomes tiring by the fourth week of a season. And it fits wherever it has to live, whether that is a scoreboard that truncates at twelve characters or a jersey that has to read from the back row.
The lists on this site are organised around those constraints rather than around themes, which is why each one separates short names from long ones and clean names from the rest. The full guide to picking a team name walks through the whole process, including how to check a name is actually available before you commit to it.
