Following the other thread and how I dislike sports where the teams have silly rufty tufty names.
What would yours be called?
Our nearest place anyone has heard of is Epsom. So our team would be either the Epsom Downers or Salters.Both guaranteed to scare the pants off any opposition.
The Papworth Hearts or, if I went further afield, The Cambridge Blues.
That's assuming Cambridge wasn't too snooty for NFL
Kendal Mints or the Kendal Snuffers... guess they'd be minor league.
Nottingham Outlaws.
Edinburgh Wolves apparently. Or on a more local level The Muirhouse Apaches would be a good name.
The port Talbot pigf*****s
The Hove Actuallys
Couple from my area Bathgate Anaesthetists', Livingston Roundabouts or my favourite Linlithgow Black Bitches!
Ours were the Scottish Claymores. Won the world series!
The Cardiff Bitter former Rugby Players and Yank-Loving Yoofs.

Used to play against The LA something or others ... where LA was Luton Area 🙂
My home team ... Brentwood Browns ... after all the fake tan
[i]Although they may struggle to find helmets that fit their unnaturally wide heads. [/i]
But the extra digits make catching the ball easier.

And those girls are harder than any American football team, so they win.
🙂

We were the Bedford Blue Raiders. Now merged with MK and have become the Ouse Valley Eagles.
Back in the day I think we used to be the Bedford Bombardiers (after the beer) and even further back Bedford Yearlings.
Would have to be the Cheadle Dons
I used to play for the Brighton B-52ss, no idea why we were called that.
Team with the best name when I was playing, and probably ever, was the Staines Removers. Genius.
Ely Eels
Peterculter pirates i guess , our ice hockey team would be the aberdeen oilers- after the edmonton oilers.
I used to go and watch the B52's in the late 80's because a guy I worked with was a running back for them, daveosaurus

There actually used to be the Granite City Oilers. Back in the 80's I think.
I believe we now have the roughnecks....
I'd go for the Crathes Cheils myself 
Who was that wwaswas? I only played in the senior team in 1992 or 93 but was in the juniors for 4 or 5 years before that so fair chance I'll remember him
On the flipside looking at MLS teams there's clearly a split for traditional football/soccer and harum scarum names

Could do with an Athletic or a Town in there somewhere.

Chalk Forgers
or Cliffe Quarriers
Daveosaurus - Graham Court, think he ended up stopping due to a knee injury. Moved to Australia, took nationality in the end and represented them as a sprinter at the 'senior Olympics' (quite what senior means, I've no idea!).
Black Country Smog
....there was actually a Black Country Nailers
Wolverhampton Werewolves
....there was actually a wolverhampton outlaws
Stourbridge Lions (Stourbridge Lion, built in Stourbridge, first Locomotive to ever run on tracks in America.

I've seen the Sandwell Steelers play this year and they are a well run outfit.
where are the Ouse Valley lot going to be playing their home games?
Compton Gangstas.
Mine IS called the Alkerton Badgers. In our local ESPN Fantasy American Football league that is
wwaswas- recognise the name but think he'd packed it in before I joined the seniors.
Just looked on YouTube and found a video of the last game I ever played in. Against the Leicester Panthers in the quarter finals and we got whipped bad!
Whathaveisaidnow - Ouse Valley still play their games in Bedford. But they now have come and try sessions in MK, Northampton, St Neots and Luton so are recruiting from a wider area than before. They did pretty well last season. Won their division quite easily and lost their semi final in overtime.
cheers Hammer, where do they play in Bedford? I'm down there occasionally, might try and catch a game next season, but far too old to be running about. Although i was the John Elway of my generation in our touch football team!! 😀
The pitch is behind the athletic stadium. You get to it by going through the athletic stadium car park, on to the field where the rugby pitch is, then alongside the stadium fence, through the gap in the hedge and you will be at the American football pitch.
The Clapton Cockney Rejects
The Shropshire Lads.
Bath Plugs???
Malvern Hillbillys (although that was used by the local BMX track in the 80's)
Dundee Lawbreakers
The Selkirk Bannocks

Our local AM team is called the Worcs black knights & the Uni team are the Worcs Royals
Used to watch the Birmingham Bulls & the now defunct Redditch Arrows
Used to watch the Birmingham Bulls & the now defunct Redditch Arrows
I saw the Bulls play quite a bit in the past - notably in a final down Crystal Palace where Russ Jenson didn't show up to play QB.
I was also at Villa Park for Summerbowl 1 where the Bulls were expected to be in it but lost to Streatham Olympians in the semi's, going on to lose at Villa to London Ravens who were the bee's knees at that time.
Most my time was spent watching Stourbridge Pumas, and playing in thier loosly affiliated touch football youth team the Kingswinford Cobras at QB, great arm!!
I watched the bulls win at palace with a field goal from "spider web" 2 mins from time against the O's Trevor McCarthy was the RB, bad knees and all
the Dunblane Dominators
or Dunblane Dunderheids - if they lost...
I watched the bulls win at palace with a field goal from "spider web" 2 mins from time against the O's Trevor McCarthy was the RB, bad knees and all
actually just discovered the game i saw was actually when they lost to Manchester Spartans in Bud Bowl III with Jensom missing through money dispute.
The Bridgend Bridge Swingers....
or maybe that would be the tug of war team, if they can be trusted not to run off with the rope!!!
