Tigers. Jaguars. Pirates. Lions. Rebels. Falcons. Panthers. Raptors. Hawks. Kings.

Snooze.

The modern practised sports franchise has two necessities when picking a luminary. The from the start is that a name shouldn't be so specified so that a body cannot be moved. Paradoxically, the help is to median the entirety to everyone, therefore interpretation nothing to anyone, and making it more likely the team will eventually poverty to move, thus necessitating the first point. This is lousy.

Amongst today's adept sports franchises there breathe a number of teams with names that bring into the world some concentrate territorial connection. These file the Dolphins, Sharks and Marlins of Florida, the Minnesota Twins (due to the fact that the identical Cities), and Portland's Trailblazers. Other geo-taxonomied teams include the 76ers and the 49ers, the Patriots and the Saints.

Texas teams are uniquely good at this, including the Mavericks, Rangers, Spurs, Astros, Rockets, Cowboys and the (duh!) Texans.

But then there are teams that are connected to the truthful special to past of the people, not fair-minded perceived tradition or locale (e.g. Cowboys, Dolphins). This one-time is economic and loyal and wholly meaningful because it has been lost. These are teams that carry names that tell us something almost the days of their fans.

Blue collar teams with blue collar names from places with a failing filthy collar tradition. In the 1940s, when Pittsburgh's Steelers took their name, the borough was producing around tens of millions of tons. The same decade saw the creation of the NBA's Pistons, named as a remedy for the Zollner Corporation's auto parts specialty. Many other so named teams have, like their again prosperous industries, faded into forgotten history like the Pittsburgh Ironmen.

This is uncommonly meaningful to us as our house teams comprise two such teams. The Green Bay Packers, named after the Indian Packing band. And the Milwaukee Brewers, named after the now gone many beer manufacturers of the city's finished.

Look forward to our full Worst body Logos Hall of glory soon to come.
