Player and Team Names: Ayatollahs, Amazons.
Posted: Thu Apr 24, 2008 1:15 am
OK, two more teams. One, I've got some of the pieces for already, and the other I'm looking into options on. One team, I've got a bunch of player names for, but no team name. The other one I've got a team name for, but need a kickstart on player name ideas.
1) Amazons: Need team name, must be NFL spoof, no Cleveland, Indy, Washington, Houston Oilers, Pittsburgh or Arizona references. Nothing you didn't invent yourself: old hat is the enemy.
Blitzers: Haidee Allmen, Kendra Gernuccles, Ms. Ann Thropist, Liz Beane, need 1-2 for competition. I'd rather drop Allmen and Beane if I can find something vicious-but-PC (Gernuccles stays, damn it).
Catchers: Grace Flexitt, Leah Pinlizzer.
Throwers: Bonnie Flabundans, Sherri D. Welth.
Linewomen: Betty Botham, Bobbi Oppendowne, Mia Culpa, Mae Cupp, Rhonda House (actually, I knew a Rhonda House once... and funny enough she could really kick), need 4.
2) Persians (Norse): the Iranizona Ayatollahs. Same name issues. They should be Arabic spoofs. They can be cheesy or a bit risque, but shouldn't be inflammatory or obscene. Again, only if you haven't heard it before.
1x Efreet (S-Troll): #99.
2x Djinn (Ulf): #93, 94.
2x Assassin (Runner): #21, 82.
2x Dervish (Blitzer): #35 Al-Obeliq, #47 Al-Asteriq (using the Defender and Dervish models from the Impact Desert Dogs -- will order after payday)
2x Thrower: #6, #18.
9x Linemen: 3 in the 50s, 3 in the 60s, 3 in the 70s, one each numbered 0-8 in the single digits for rosters 10-16, plus 7, 8 if necessary.
Replaced players will get Roman numerals as sort of an automatic tracking mechanism.
Any and all shots on goal appreciated, whether I use them or not.
Thanks,
Matt
