    GOOD kilted/Scottish team nicknames?

    In a rather ODD project, I am trying to think of a series of Scottish themed sports team names:

    Scots (Baseball)

    Dirks

    Highlanders (was an actual New York baseball team)

    Kilted Rabble (Rugby or Arena Football)

    Mainly, I need:

    Baseball
    American Football
    Hockey
    Basketball
    Euro-Football/Soccer
    Rugby
    Arena Football

    Plus any other odd sports that may be found in a large city.

    Some Arena/Stadium/Park names:

    CaledonGlen (Baseball)
    Highland Coloseum (Basketball/Hockey/Arena football)
    Celt Stadium (Football/Soccer)

    Any other Ideas?


    I'm curious to hear some really good ideas!!!!

    Jonesing,

    The "Fighting Scots", for American football. "Fighting Irish" seems to have worked pretty well for a small American Universirt called Notre Dame.

    The Fighting Scots are the men's sports teams at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. The women's teams are the Lady Scots.

    I've got two T-shirts devoted to the Belfast Brawlers (Rugby) and the Dublin Hooligans (soccer).

    We use to have a soccer team called the "Tampa Bay Rowdies"

    Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tampa_Bay_Rowdies


    I loved the team slogan:

    "The Rowdies are......a kick in the grass"

    Ironcally/Interestingly, my father (a graphic designer) designed THAT VERY team's logo many, many moons ago!!!!

    (He also designed the circle Atanta Hawks logo and the Atlanta Flames hockey logos-> which were BOTH owned by the same man when they began playing in the city)

    Strange that you'd mention them SPECIFICALLY!!!
