“Ducks” has to be the worst team name in sports

Post by Galatians221jb1 »

I wonder if instead of “Let’s Go Blues” the crowd just quacks. They could start a league with the Squirrels, Chipmunks, Geese and Albatrosses. Nobody even remembers that stupid Disney movie.

Blue Jackets
Predators
Twins
Rays

Especially the Preds. SNL slaughtered them.

The team actually said they wouldn't change the name because of it.

Holy [shirt], it was based on a real thing.

Have you guys ever seen a flock of ducks flying in perfect formation? It's beautiful. Pretty awesome the way they all stick together. Ducks never say die. Ever seen a duck fight? No way. Why? Because the other animals are afraid. They know that if they mess with one duck, they gotta deal with the whole flock.

Show some respect, you anti-duckite!

Nobody can surpass the Baltimore Bullets (later became the Washington Bullets). Who in their right mind would name a team in the murder capital of the US, the “bullets”.

Twins is a great name. Predators is absolutely terrible, far and away the worst name in the NHL

I love the Ducks. I was also a little kid when the movie came out so that helps. That classic logo looks great though I prefer the eggplant/jade to the orange and black. Not too many names in sports bug me really. Not a huge fan of the Clippers.

Clippers - formerly of San Diego from boating.
Lakers (not your post) - formerly of Minnesota

Both moved.

Ducks - hate 'em. As a former SoCal-er - those first few years were so boring of a crowd straight from Disneyland. Then they get Prongs and win a cup. Bandwagoners. Fanbase has become "normalized" since then, but such a putrid beginning and a wimpy "fans" for those first 10 years - puke levels. Fake b00bs, collagen lips, botox foreheads, and don't let me get started on the dates they brought.

I'm a "Plural names are fine, Concept names are terrible" guy

"Mammoth" is easily the most embarrassing. "Wild" is stupid. "Avalanche" "Lightning" almost the entire WNBA, etc. it's all embarrassing.
