Name this team...

toxicavenger74 · 07-06-2009, 11:18 PM

I am starting a new league with a team in Winnipeg. Typically names just jump out at me but I am stuck on this one. I like for the names to be traditional yet reflect the city/state/province if possible. I like the Red River Rebels but its not traditional enough.

So, what are your suggestions.

Manitoba Moose
Winnpeg Forks

Athough I like your name better.

Well, here's some Winnipeg teams from real life history:
Winnipeg Gold Eyes from the northern League (1954-1962)
Winnipeg Maroons (also known as Winnipeg Peggers) from various leagues in the early 1900's
Winnipeg Whips from the International League (1970-1971)

From not so real life:
The OOTP CBL has a team called the Winnipeg Warriors.

I enjoyed reading about Winnipeg's traditions with streetcars, an ambiance of community with village, townfolk, atmosphere; the 'recreation' of particpating in all of the regional festivities. Brought to mind a carnival or midway, like the one below. As a result, I suggest the River Park Revelry. Good luck!

Winnipeg Warriors

In honor of the native inhabitants that played an important part in the city's history.

River-related names would be good, too.

There are four rivers in the city. City is called "The Forks".

Winnipeg River Rascals

Winnipeg River Cats

I like this, I also like the Maroons. Maybe a combination of three suggestions: Red River Maroons or Red River Revelry or Winnipeg Red River Jets. or the Red River Bombers. Not classic but then again their football team is named the Blue Bombers and they have been around forever.

I originally named the team the Winnipeg Traders but I will change it at seasons end....or maybe the team has financial troubles and is sold mid season and the new owner changes its name....it is an upstart league in its first season afterall.

How about the voyageurs coming from the old fur trading routes in Winnipeg.

I guess any Canadian team could potentially be called Mounties.
