FAQs
How long should a team name be?
Two to three words is the sweet spot. It’s memorable and prints cleanly on jerseys and banners.
Are puns overused?
Puns work when they’re quick to understand and match your sport or theme. If you need to explain it, tighten it up.
How do we avoid offensive names?
Steer clear of stereotypes and real organizations. Test with diverse teammates before locking in.
Can a team rename mid-season?
Yes. Announce it, reintroduce your identity, and roll out a unified visual update so the transition feels intentional.
