Okay, sorry to our friends outside the US, but I'm looking for the lamest, dumbest, wussiest team names - can be college or pro.

My first nomination is the Orlando Magic - SO lame.

I agree about the Houston Texans.

The LA Lakers used to be in Minnesota, where there are a lot of lakes, and it was the Minnesota Lakers, which made more sense, but the team moved and kept the name.

Someone who makes their living chartering to tourists that the 10,000 lakes brought to Minnesota I suppose. Don't tell them but Wisconsin has 10,000 lakes too.

Lamest name, offhand the Navy Midshipmen.

The Lakers' franchise was founded in 1946 in Detroit, Michigan before moving to Minneapolis, where the team got its official title from the state's nickname, "Land of 10,000 Lakes."

How is it even remotely possible to be feared and respected when your team is called the Cubs?

the SanFran 49ers have a legit name if you know about history, even if the area they represent is not... but most of the others that have been mentioned in this thread are pretty dumb.

A Canuck is a mythical type of windgod. The god is often depicted on totem poles in the Northwest.

This is about team names, nothing more. As for MLS team names (it's not "the MLS," by the way), they're improving. The older names were awful (Dallas Burn, Columbus Crew) but the newer names are much better (Toronto FC, Philadelphia Union).

They are "my Browns" too ( I live in Cleveland, but I barely ever root for them). I still wish they had a good name though.

I liked that logo actually, with the duck shaped hockey mask, it just made them hard to take seriously that they followed a Disney flick about a ragtag group of misfits taken in by a reluctant mentor, pure Disney feel goog formula.

I cant think of any that havent been mentioned already, but I do know that the Washington Redskins remain to be the only team to have such a politically incorrect name/logo. Seriously though, im surprised its lasted this long...
