Has there ever been a worse team name than Tampa Bay Rays?

We have a local minor league team affiliated with the Houston Astros are called Corpus Christi Hooks and the fans are called "Hookers."

And we have a hockey team called the Corpus Christi Rayz :|

They should have dropped Bay instead, Tampa Devil Rays sounds better.

They probably had to drop the word "Devil" because of those religous whackos.jasonw131

Actually, it's even lamer than that. In the former name, "ray" refered to the marine animal. The new "ray" now represents sunbeams in accordance with Florida's nickname: The Sunshine State.

I think if they shortened it to Tampa Rays, it would sound good.wallymartin

Always thoughtAnaheim's Mighty Ducks was a lame name for any professional team, Disney owned or not. The NBA's Toronto Raptors is another. Why have a mascot that is extinct?wornstar

no.just no.

Not sure what you're saying "no" to?Are you saying you like the idea of extinct or imaginary mascots or teamnames? Or why am I going there?

For me, being an american football fan, NFL eurpope was too hard to get into not only because of the poor play and horrible looking uniforms,but the team names were too out there. The Galaxy, Sea Devils, the Fire. well Fire's not too bad actually. I don't know, call it male bravado or whatever, Ijust don'tfind much interest inteam namesthat aren't imposing, menacingor thatexudepower, or at least are some kind of symbol of the host city's history or culture.

Indianapolis Colts. 'Nuff said.

Does sound like a spiritual name - Ray. Unless the mascot is changed to Ray Charles, Ray Ramono...mrgab

i would say my vote is pretty close, but the South Carolina Gamecocks just have a small edge over the Oregon Ducks

Ragin' Cajuns is an awesome team name! How could you possibly nominate them?

Gereen Bay packers. Never understood the name.GalaxyMan93

they are called the packers because when the team was first formed they were given the gear/uniforms by a packing company in Green Bay...one of the conditions was they had to name the team after the company

Hense we have "Green Bay Packers"
