10 NFL Team Names That HORRIBLY Represent Their CITY

NFL team names that make no sense.

Team names have been a fixture in American professional sports for over a century now, dating all the way back to the turn of the 20th century, when MLB teams first started to cling onto the concept.

And over the years, we have seen plenty of franchise nicknames come and go…

But what is really interesting—is some of the names that have stuck even though they really make no sense when you consider the city that they are supposed to be representing.

So, let’s take a look at 10 NFL teams whose name horribly represents the city they play in.

Which team name do you think is the worst???

[STEEZY_TREV]

Jacksonville got their name because the oldest living Jaguar at the time was in a Jacksonville zoo

The ravens definitely make the most sense because of edger Allen Poe

Criticizing animal mascots on the fault of geographical location is beyond stupid. Animal mascots are chosen for symbolic traits and characteristics.

I have never seen a lion in Detroit… I’ve also have never seen a Lion in the Super Bowl.

Nashville IS known as the Athens of the South. They also have the Parthenon, a replica of the Parthenon in Athens, which was built in 1897 and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The name Titans isn’t that big of a reach.

This is probably the worst "grasping at straws" video yet for this channel. You might as well use this as a basis to make about a million similar videos for other teams in other sports, both pro and amateur.

[MerkFreeks]

Honestly, this list is terrible. All of these team names don't have to make sense to the city they represent, the names are good as they are.

Next TPS video “Which NFL team colors don’t go with their city”

[daxxonah]

TPS running out of ideas and just going for banter lmao.

10 badass team names that we’re gonna completely overlook and criticize to have fresh content

[artfire]

The LA Chargers should be renamed the No City Nomads.

[shanepleasants]

You don’t change the Raiders name it is iconic

[gobills]

Nashville actually has a full size replica of the parthenon that was made in 1897, so Titans from Athens Greece actually make sense for the city. Love the video tho:)

[josh]

As a Nashville native, I disagree strongly that the titans doesn’t work. I mean our city has a freakin Parthenon. C’mon TPS

[Krakenjackz]

Sometimes I question why I still follow this channel

[kcthesledgestoryteller]

Any cool, predatory animal I call justifiable just because you're embracing the animals attributes. As for my team the Raiders, it doesn't have to be about pirates, since you’re talking about anyone who storms a place to wreak havoc. That's broad enough to implement in any city.

[prodSpazeY]

Every see a lion in Detroit?








Zoos : am I joke to you

[joesolis]

FYI: the mountains in the L.A. area are home to herds of Big-Horn Sheep, so “The Rams” works for L.A.

[dangeiger]

How about team names that perfectly represent their cities like Steelers, Packers or Cowboys
