Some pro and college team's names make no damn sense. I wanted to understand where they came from. Add to the list and maybe Allbuffs can publish this, or not.
Minnesota Twins - Minneapolis and St Paul are the TWIN cities.
Los Angeles Lakers - A move by the Minnnesota Lakers (the land of lakes) to LA
Green Bay Packers - Meat packing plants in Wisconsin.
New York Mets - I thing that is short for Metropolitans
Akron Zips - No clue
Virginia Tech Hokies - No Clue
Georgetown Hoyas - No Clue
Alabama - Crimson Tide and why do they have an elephant as a mascot?
I'm really curious about the Brooklyn/LA Dodgers. The rumor I heard was that it related to traffic.
Many many others. This is just for fun.
