The Top 25 Team Nicknames


Yesterday the Silver Anniversary Committee released their "Top 25 Team Names" list and your Philadelphia Soul made it at #18, no other Eastern Division team made the list. What disturbs me most though is that the "Miami Hooters" made it all the way up to #7 after being named after the famous womanizing restaurant. I feel that the "Hooters" franchise should just be forgotten altogether, but that's the beauty of lists like these I suppose.

Here's the list along with the years that they were active in the league. Enjoy, there's some doozies!

1.    New Orleans VooDoo - 2004-05, 2007-08, 2011-Current
