radiantfractureI'm not saying I'm ordering more book-themed hockey jerseys, although the manufacturer did send me a 30% off coupon.
But if I were, what are some good goofy literary team names? Any genre, any joke. Maybe leaning towards classics.
Like even just "Readers" or "Poets" or "Critics" is fun (to me) when sportsified into that jersey script. Or "Weirdos".
[ETA: Now that I think of it, political ideas are good, too. "No Kings" instead of Kings, etc.]
(Look, I need something to teach in this summer. Baggy cropped trousers and theme jerseys. That seems like earth people clothing, right?)

I made them up, but it's no weirder than the Santa Cruz Banana Slugs, which really exist.

(I was reminded earlier this afternon that the women's hockey team in Boston is currently the Boston Fleet, but it used to be the Boston Pride.)
