I have plenty of others too, but, for the sake of the thread to hopefully create a li'l more off-season chatter in this forum, I won't list.....
So, what do think are some of the best & worst team nicknames? <figured I'd throw in 'worst' too, 'cause there's some pretty stinkin' ones, as well, out there!

Teutopolis (Ill.) Wooden Shoes (and their girls teams, the Lady Shoes)
Hickman (Mo.) Kewpies
Pekin, Ill., used to be the Chinks (think about it a minute, you'll get it) but changed to Dragons
Around NW Ohio, I like Locomotives (Montpelier). At least it's not yet another boring Wildcats or Tigers or Bulldogs.

Lima Bath "Wildkittens" for the girls' teams is also clever.
Any gender specific nickname where they tack "Lady" on the front for the girls team is problematic (e.g., "Lady Rams").

That's cool, reminds me of how they got the name "Tinora." Took the first letters from the 4 townships that make up the district(TI- Tiffin, NO- Noble, R- Richland, A- Adams) and combined them into the name of the new high school.

Central Missouri State Univerisity's men's teams are the Mules. Since there's no such thing as a female mule, their women's teams are the Jennies.
Here's another good one: The University of California-Santa Cruz are the Banana Slugs. That is awesome.

Centenary College are the Gents. So they call their women's teams the Ladies.

And their women's teams? Pretty sure they are the "Lady Student Princes" (even though I think most people, even the people on campus, refer to the female teams as the "Student Princesses" anyway).
Perhaps the worse nickname ever...
