Regardless of location, what NFL team names can you come up with that fit a city?

Fits the city. It’s intimidating along the lines of Raiders, Vikings, and Buccaneers

I like the food names.  Never been to New Orleans but I heard they make a mean gumbo.

 

New Orleans Gumbo

I think most of the names fit, or are at least good strong names that might fit almost anywhere. A handful are holdovers from prior cities such as; the Boston Redskins, Baltimore Colts, _______ Raiders. 

Honestly, I can’t think of any that are just completely absurd.

Minnesota Mammoths.

New Orleans Shamans? Maybe not.

I can't think of one for Green Bay. Seems impossible. 

 

What about the Green Bay Yeti's?

Green Bay Yeti isn't bad. Would Yeti instead of Yetis work as a plural? Like Ninja over ninjas? In any case, it's the best alternative I've heard thus far.

I think it would work that way. Yeah I was trying to think of like wintry almost suggested like the Greenbay Icemen or something like that but now that's kind of getting into the Sci-Fi world LOL

Dallas Headshots

Detroit Foreclosures

Cleveland Firewaters

Cincinnati Zzzzzzzzzz

Let's goooooooooo

A headshot is a photograph that actors submit with their resume when they go in for an audition.

I believe mugshot is the term you are searching for with your funny.

The headshots would make sense for a team in NYC, LA, Chicago, or even here In Austin. Not so much Dallas.

Toronto Gun Violence. If we ever get a team.

Gun violence is definitely on the rise, but where we are #1 in North America is:

Toronto Commute Time

 

But if we go by how our NBA team was named:

Toronto Black Panthers

ACME were the corporate sponsors who put up the cash to start the team and later keep the team afloat. There were slaughterhouses and processing plants all along the shore of Lake Michigan from Chicago to Green Bay. The guys at ACME were meat canners and packers and Curly Lambeau worked at the plant in Green Bay. There was another football team at the time called The Bonecrushers, based out of Milwaukee, another nod to the local industry. These guys had a real fascination with blood & guts -  choosing it both for their profession and their recreation.

Tell em. Even as a cowboys fan I always knew it was important to know the history behind every team.

In Rugby we are the Canterbury Crusaders, because we are white anglos.

Then there is the Otago Highlanders, cos they white Scots. 

The Auckalnd Blues, cos.... I guess they get down with Smurfs?

That was back when the tournament had pride / meaning. And, teams had actual association with the provinces they were based in. Not this multi-provincial, catchment area, soulless BS - we see today. 

PS - "Auckland Han" would be a good fit, if they were still named after the regions. (Continuing on from your theme ) 

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dolphins fits, but the Miami Hurricanes is just perfect (Dolphins BTFO by a college team)

Miami & Las Vegas could both be called the "Dealers" but for different reasons.

It's a disgrace that no southern team is called the "Gators" (College team BTFO the NFL again) ... The animal is a southern icon after all. And, a badass to boot.

"Southerners" would also be a good moniker for a team down south. 

Portland - S.J. Warriors / Communism 

SF - Brown Street / Streets 

LA - Firestorm / Quake

Oakland  / San Diego - Vacancy 

Tuscaloosa - Gabbaboosa

Minnesota - Scandy / Nordy / Nords

Wisconsin - Small Town Values 

Colorado - Landlockers 

Washington - Deep State

Boston / Oklahoma - Bom... (Alright, I'll stop there)
