Someone got visited by the good idea fairy and now I have a hilarious opportunity here. Its a mixed gender, 3-6 year old team, I get two words, 3 colors, and a logo. What's the funniest thing I could do for my kiddo? We vote on the name in a couple days but I want to come loaded with 3 or 4 options.

Edit: sad news y'all, the name was picked without consulting the other coaches. We're gonna be Sea Serpents this year. Thanks to everyone for replying, it was a fun exercise nonetheless.

Anything notable about your area? Nearest MLB team? What letter does your town name start with? Alliteration always helps. You don't have to dox yourself, but they might give you ideas.

Sandlot Sluggers

Base-Stealing Bandits (I cheated, Base Bandits might still get the point across)

Knuckle Balls

Baby Ruths

Fruit Bats

Vampire Bats

Banana Slugs

Golden Slugs (Golden Gloves)

Chili dogs

Crackerjacks

Home team

Good guys

The Batmans

Dandelion Pickers

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Baby Ruths is seriously underrated. Chili dogs is good too.

[–] Protoknuckles@lemmy.world 29 points 4 days ago

The home team.

Logo is a house with a bat

[–] Know_not_Scotty_does@lemmy.world 23 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I was thinking about being The Peanuts so we could chant GO NUTS!

Some sort or snoopy branding or something?

[–] nomecks@lemmy.wtf 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The obvious answer was hiding here all along! Excellent option!

Every time a team name is put up for discussion around me I suggest the fighting mongoose's. Not once has anyone understood that reference.

[–] Hegar@fedia.io 5 points 4 days ago

That's a good team name.

[–] David_Eight@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Is it not mongeese lol?

The Heelers, use an outline of Bluey's head for the logo.
The next Gen, with a trek logo?
On that note, the commanders, with red shirts and a trek logo?
I'm a fan of Book wyrms, dragon Logo, but that's not so kid friendly. Maybe some other dragon related joke?

The hot wheels? With a fire truck logo?

That's all I got, good luck, and I hope you share the end choice later.

You could play it straight and do something kids love, like "Dinosaurs".

My other suggestions are "Robots" or "Draculas".

The Neato Burritos

[–] Hegar@fedia.io 4 points 4 days ago

The Princess Pirates - logo includes eyepatch, fake looking stubble, tiahra over a pirate hat over perm curls.

The Home Runs - logo is a house with a face and limbs holding its butt like it's running to the bathroom.

The Swing Batter-Batters - logo is a swing in motion ridden by a bat (mammal or baseball).

Mmmm Cake - logo is cake. Kids love cake.

The Stinky Parents - logo is parents, characteur common outfits/styles for your area. Maybe clown makeup. Definitely stink lines.

[–] Tot@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

My kids would think Butt Butt is hilarious. Colors would be blue and orange (Bluey and Bingo). Logo could be the Heeler house.

  • The Footballs
  • The Hockey Pucks
  • The Soccer Balls
  • The French Fries
  • The Weiner Dogs
  • The Air Guitars
  • The Beached Whales

These are all stupid but I think they’d be funny little league teams

[–] Hegar@fedia.io 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The Beached Whales

I would hope the logo is a whale relaxing on a towel under an umbrella.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

And a popsicle

You know, I'm something of a poop smith myself

There are a whole bunch of minor league team names that are fun. There are teams called the Jumbo Shrimp, the Iron Pigs, the Flying Squirrels, the River Bandits, and all of them have fun logos already available on baseball hats.

There is of course the question of copyrights, but there are three good reasons why you probably don't need to worry about getting sued. First, it would be unbelievably bad press for any major or minor league or team to sue a bunch of tiny fans. Second, you'll probably be buying a bunch of merchandise like hats and banners with their logos on it (assuming you aren't printing your own using their logos). Third, they would probably get laughed out of court at the notion that a multi-million dollar franchise needs to differentiate itself from the sandlot kids in diapers. You're not profiting from the name or logo (right?), and they have better things to do with their time than volunteer to be the villain in the court of public opinion.

Edit to add some more: Trash Pandas, Rumble Ponies, Sod Poodles, Yard Goats, Blue Wahoos, AquaSox, RubberDucks, PaddleHeads, Hot Rods, Cannon Ballers, and the Baby Cakes.

[–] happysplinter@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

My favorite minor league team name is the Lansing Lug nuts. My friend's dad's is the new Orleans Buzz.

[–] Know_not_Scotty_does@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah we were the River Dogs last season, sadly missed being the Trash Pandas. I think minor league is off limits for copyright reasons.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

That's a bummer. How about the Fightin' Gaelea Baens? It's a beetle, and it's pronounced "Jelly Bean."

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 4 days ago

The Bunt Cakes The Best Team in Town The Littlest Legends The Dragons (dragons are cool) The See Ya Later Alligators (aka The Gators) Born Batty

[–] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Cheap ass ideas, not as good as your the peanuts

The ballers

Stealers (thinking of stealing bases)

Swingers that miss (not supportive but funny)

Snoopies bandits

[–] morphballganon@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 3 days ago

Two words, they said

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 0 points 4 days ago

I have plenty of ideas, but none of them would be appropriate for a team of 5 year olds... 👀

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 0 points 4 days ago

Crotch Fruit.
