I am not saying every team must meet that formula but I see more plain one name teams or horse racing team names than we ever should.TheDoc wrote:Just heard the rant about Fluff and teams. You mentioned football teams (proper football - soccer) and their names.... you'd hate my teams name: Arsenal yeah that is it Arsenal![]()
We have a team in our League called the Dol-Guldor Doombringers (Undead). After many seasons these guys in my mind are like a plague of locust coming to town, you want to run and hide your kids hoping the storm will pass. These guys could easily drop the Dol-Guldor part of there name and reek havoc all over the Old World simply as the Doombringers, and it would fit. I have told the coach he should drop the town and have these guys be a traveling force.
I want people to have fun and they can do whatever. But if your in my sandbox of Blood Bowl, I don't want to see My Fair Ladies (Amazons) vs. Green with Envy (Orc Bankers). In real life I am sure most people would buy a ticket to watch a team called that either. Going to see a game between the New Quetza Saints (Lizard) vs. Hellpit Skorpionz (Underworld) feels so much like a real life fantasy sport to me. Save the funny pun names for Horse Racing. Single mascot names have a place but should be rare and earned as they become Legendary. Sorry folks thats just how I feel.
