Following the other thread and how I dislike sports where the teams have silly rufty tufty names.
What would yours be called?
Our nearest place anyone has heard of is Epsom. So our team would be either the Epsom Downers or Salters.Both guaranteed to scare the pants off any opposition.

The Papworth Hearts or, if I went further afield, The Cambridge Blues.

That's assuming Cambridge wasn't too snooty for NFL

Edinburgh Wolves apparently. Or on a more local level The Muirhouse Apaches would be a good name.

They existed already and were the Heathrow jets. Although I used to go and watch the London Ravens play occasionally.

But the extra digits make catching the ball easier.

Swings and roundabouts.

Our local roller derby team is called The Hereford Horror Bulls.

And those girls are harder than any American football team, so they win.

We were the Bedford Blue Raiders. Now merged with MK and have become the Ouse Valley Eagles.

Back in the day I think we used to be the Bedford Bombardiers (after the beer) and even further back Bedford Yearlings.
