4) Oklahoma City Slickers (outdoor soccer, early ‘80s)
5) Albuquerque Isotopes (minor league baseball)Absolutely brilliant idea—if you can't beat 'em, nuke 'em!
6) New Orleans Voodoo (Arena Football League)
7) San Antonio Gunslingers (United States Football League)
8) Pittsburgh Condors (American Basketball Association)
9) San Diego Conquistadors (American Basketball Association) This one was a mouthful, but very cool. All the sportswriters of that day shortened it to "Q’s".
10) South Carolina Gamecocks (NCAA) It sure takes some balls to have a nickname like that!

AND THE BOTTOM 10 SPORTS TEAM NAMES OF ALL-TIME:
1) Houston Texans (NFL)/Dallas Texans (AFL) Real clever. Zzzzz!
2) Utah Jazz (NBA) Yes, they have such a great Jazz heritage in Osmond-Land!
3) The Floridians (American Basketball Association)/The Hawaiians (World Football League) Not unlike Texans, naming a team after natives of a state is pretty darned uninspired.
4) FC Dallas/D.C. United/Real Salt Lake/Toronto FC (Major League Soccer) Pretty hokey how these American soccer teams try to sound all European just to impress the World Cup crowd.
5) Philadelphia Bell (World Football League) Sounded pretty dingy to me…
6) Los Angeles Lakers (NBA) Minneapolis Lakers was fitting—L.A. Lakers ain’t.
7) Kansas City Wiz (Major League Soccer) You gotta go!!! They wisely changed it to Wizards after one season.
8) Florida Marlins (MLB) Should’ve been the Miami Marlins—sounds cooler that way. Florida Marlins sounds too much like Florida Evans from "Good Times".
9) Dallas Burn (Major League Soccer) A game between the Wiz and Burn was a real pisser!
10) Memphis Tams (American Basketball Association) T-A-M-s was meant to honor the region of Tennessee-Arkansas-Mississippi, but their logo was that sissy-looking hat—weak!
