I think the whole IDEA of Kansaska is stupid. I’d like to take a crap on your book.

I think that the towns you have picked are too small to have a team. some of them are less than 2000 people. Most semipro teams I know play in about a town of about 12–16000 people. But since you have named the towns I’ll give you names for them. Beaver City “Beavers”; Minden “Bisons”; Fairbury–”Ak-sar-Bens”(Nebraska spelled backwards) Geneva- “Sodbusters”; Red Cloud–”Sunsetters” or the “Reds”; McPherson-”Pioneers”; Moonlight–”Stars”; Parallel–”Prairie Dogs”(Dem Dawgs).

sorry my web site cut me off I think that you should change the names of the towns they are too small.

I picked other towns than mentioned and came up with these names.
Omaha–Sliders or Beefeaters
North Platte- Platters
Scottsbluff-Sandlotters or Sandhillers
Lincoln–Pioneers
Kearney- Ogallalas aka Ogies by fans and LaLas by foes(Kearney is pronounced Carney fyi)
Grand Island–Sodbusters

Dodge City–Marshalls
Salina–Prairie Dogs aka Dem Dawgs
Topeka-Tops Logo is a spinning top or bat(vertical bat of course)
Witchita Wizards

Red Cloud is the home of Willa Cather but somehow I don’t think you want to call the team the catheters

Beaver City Flying Doctors (check out the city history); the mascot could be someone in a doctor’s white coat & stethoscope wearing an old leather flying helmet. Or, the logo could be an old biplane with a red cross on it.

Minden Platters where the team logo could be a dinner plate with a glove on it.

Fairbury Trailers (the town sits on the old Oregon Trail); uniform logo might feature an old conestoga wagon

Red Cloud O Pioneers!, or just Pioneers! (with the exclamation point, of course); what better than Willa Cather as the mascot.

McPherson Birdseyes (town was named after General James “Birdseye” McPherson); mascot might be a bird with big googly eyes, or an Indian scout.

I’d agree: Parallel Lions is perfect!

[...] Seeking inspiration for my submittals to the “Name the K.R.A.P. Teams” competition going on over at Trolley Dodgers I started looking for unusual team names and mascots on the web. [...]

Vesper Sparrows
Mascot – Bow & “Sparrow” that shoots souvenir sparrows into crowd

…a google search for ‘Vesper’ gave me sparrows, so maybe google should get credit if this wins, but these birds are found in Kansas.

Vesper Vortex
Moonlight Sonatas (why not just go for it? Logo could be all orchestral stuff)
Parallel Bars
Beaver City Citizens
Minden Nedmins (a palindrome w/an s)
Geneva Conventioniers
Red Cloud Warriors
Fairbury Falcons

Be brave – be strong!

Here are my suggs:

McPherson “Struts”
Vesper “Pray-ers”
Moonlight “Glows”
Parallell “Angles”
Beaver City “Chewers”
Minden “Haulers”
Geneva “Lakers”
Red Cloud “Chiefs”
Firbury “Hatchets”

All have either a gramatic, historic or goeographical relation. If its fictional, why not some comic gramatic licence as well!

Regards!

C’mon, this is obvious: Beaver City Bangers. Mascot: a Pam Anderson look-alike.

Only other suggestions: Minden Minnonites (great logo potential, but not as good as a deviate mind, a frosted mug and a Mac could create for that first one);

Geneva Conventions;

the McPherson Elles.

I expect a T-shirt.

Jeff, Since I grew up in Portis, Kansas, I would have submitted the two team names used back in the ’40s, but will try something else.

Red Cloud – Arrowheads
Beaver City – Dynamos
Moonlight – Shadows
Geneva – Generals
Parellel – Panthers
Vesper- Vipers

And still considering

OK, so here’s what I’ve come up with so far:

Moonlight Sun Otters (musical reference – say it fast)
McPherson Struts
Red Cloud Reactors (University of Nebraska-Lincoln Agricultural Client Services include Batch Reactors + the Red Cloud makes it funny)

That’s it for now.

I’m so dissappointed that Portis already has a team name. I was going to suggest the Portis Potties. I must say I am very proud of my daughter’s contribution for the Parallel Lions! The nut doesn’t fall far from the tree! I’ll continue to think on the other cities and get back. I want to win something!
