OK, tell me what you think about this team name.  A group of my gal friends signed up for a local fundrasing run as a team and had to think up a team name to put on our shirts.  Because we are all wives of firefighters we came up with:

Fire Hose

I think it's awesome! But I may be a total dork...it is awesome, right?!

And while we're at it - what are some of your best (or worst) team names?

Fire Hos

I think it's brilliant actually.

 

Best team name I've had was RJFC (Ron Jeremy Football Club) for my old soccer team.  It was even better because of the pic that was on the jersey Oh and our tag line was "sending direct shots since 1998...in your face".

That is brilliant! I've never been on a team...unless you count a dance troupe. I was in a Middle Eastern dance troupe called Raks the Casbah. (Raks Sharki is the type of dance, and our choreographer was a fan of 80s music.)

During my undergrad days I coached a ladies Flagball team that called itself the "Cunning Stunts".  

Yes - beer was involved in the naming process.

In college we had a intramural team of ladies from the speech pathology dept named "The Cunning Linguists".

I think it's great but you will find someone who says it's degrading.

I was once on a team and we named ourselves the Nads.

Everyone would cheer on the sidelines, "Go Nads!"

I love Fire Hose as the name for a team of Firefighter's wives. Brilliant.

I agree with Tony that someone will eventually complain/be upset.

oh my gosh. Nads is such a great idea. I would laugh the entire time.

When I did a trail relay, this one group of geologists had a group What the Schist?  and We are Naughty, not Gneiss.  Being a science nerd, they both entertained me.

Last year my friend and I were team Ironcrotch for TTT.  The race director emailed back that it was the best laugh she had in awhile.

That would be me.  Well not degrading but rather tacky, however, if you all want to refer to yourselves as prostitutes then more power to you.  It does seem to be de rigeur these days.

I suggested that my boyfriend's fantasy football team be "Off Regularly"

Do you have what it takes to beat Off Regularly?

I don't recall saying they were prostitutes only that they referred to themselves as such.

I think its a great team name.  And those who take offense should thank their stars they aren't on that team and keep their opinions to themselves.

Our softball team used to be named Sofa King Good....we were sponsored by a local furniture store.

Played in an indoor league where a team named themselves "bye" - took a couple of weeks before the other teams realized that was the team name and not the schedule for that week!...they were terrible and "won" the first two games on forfeits! Only points they got all season.

I guess some people can only handle hearing from Yes men.  No one has ever accused me of being a Yes man.

Lord have mercy, don't get your shorts in a bunch over it.  All I was saying (poorly apparently since she did indeed solicit opinions) was that she shouldn't worry about what others think or say.  And I would hope nobody would accuse you of being any kind of man (yes, no, best, burning, et. al)....else they might need to go get their eyes checked.

I personally like it...but I also didn't get it until I read the explanation.  So in addition to a few that may be offended, you'll probably have a few that don't realize you are all wives of firefighters - and don't get the name.
