Final Team Names Prediction List

[Dynamofan1]

New York Americans
St.Louis Explores
Tampa Bay Sharks
Washington War Hawks
Dallas Stampede
Houston Twisters
Los Angeles Stars
Seattle Lumberjacks

I am certain you will not see names from natural disasters in Houston ever again. Not Twisters or Hurricanes or anything like that. If they did it would be the dumbest PR move of all time.

[Dynamofan1]

I do like the following names from other posters.
Americans (Birmingham WFL)
Commandos is very interesting.
Barracudas. Is nice!!!

[Sounder]

Seattle Stealth
Dallas Posse
New York Nightflyers
St. Louis Pioneers
Houston Drovers

[Shooter McGav1n]

New York Paladins

Tampa Sea Dogs
St Louis Archers

Dallas Ramblers
Houston Livewires / Hotshots

OK, I’m from St Louis (Let’s Go Blues!!!) so I’ve obviously thought the most about the St Louis team’s name. Although I like Crusaders, that’ll probably never go over. I also like Ironclads a lot (river gunboats produced during the Civil War in St Louis) ‘cause it’s not only the boat, but also sounds tough. I REALLY dislike Stallions. It’s been used WAAAY too many times, really has nothing to do with St Louis other than it starts with an S, and it’s tied to that whole failed relocation and expansion business. Many of us here in StL are fed up with the NFL and don’t need any reminders of how we’ve been screwed by them and the team that shall remain nameless. Although I think Clydesdales are cool horses, the word itself sounds kinda clunky (doesn’t roll off the tongue) and I’m not sure I’d want my team to be named after a corporation’s mascot. I will admit that many St Louisans have an over the top reverence for the animals to the point of worship. I’ve always found it kind of disturbing how rabid they get at the sight of them pulling a beer wagon. Maybe it’s the beer…. who knows?
So anyway, for what it’s worth…here’s my list:

St Louis Pilots
(references both riverboat Pilots and Charles Lindbergh and the Spirit of St Louis, not to mention the former McDonald Douglas (now Boeing) manufacturer of fighter jets based in StL
New York Emperors
New York is the Empire State
Tampa Bay Barracudas
In my mind a criminally underused mascot….and it sounds good with Tampa Bay
D.C. Power
The town where most of the power in the country resides, plus Direct Current, I like the double meaning/ play on words
Houston Roughnecks
An oil field worker. References Oilers without using the same term. And it sounds tough
Seattle Emeralds
Seattle is the Emerald City. Gotta go with that
Dallas Comanches
I know this one might not fly either, but I like it because the Comanches are local, fierce and feared. Plus, it’s the opposite of Cowboys. But, I know it may be considered insensitive….I don’t mean it to be that way at all
Los Angeles Mammoths
La Brea Tar pits in LA contain Mammoth remains, Plus, football players are Huge (mammoth) and LA is Huge (mammoth). I really think this one would work
Anyway….my 2 cents

People would just call the Clydesdales the "Clydes".

I'd still rather not be tied to a Corporation's mascot.

[MikeMitchell]

Clydes or Dales as a shortened nickname. I am neutral on the name. If it means that Budweiser is going to be a corporate sponsor. Then for the sake of the league’s survival. I am down with it.

[johnnyangryfuzzball]

Complete guess, with the knowledge that I'm probably going to be wrong:

New Jersey Tornadoes (early 20th century team that was briefly in the NFL)
Washington Warships (recalling the old Civil War boats the Monitor and the Merrimack)
Tampa Bay Sun (Florida's the Sunshine State)
St. Louis Speed (Saint and Speed both start with S. OK? What more do you want)

Los Angeles Condors (after the endangered species)
Seattle Thunder (rain, obviously)
Dallas Steers (Bulls just seemed a little pedestrian)
Houston Drillers (like Oilers, but with a little more action)
