What Makes a Good Team Name?
Here are five considerations:
- Is it easy to say? Usually, shorter is better, but keep an open mind.
- Is it memorable? Is it catchy? Will folks remember it?
- Does it describe your team? Is it relevant?
- Is it not overused? Names that are too common, despite being strong, lose their appeal. Be distinctive.
- Does it lend itself to a fun logo? The best combination is a great name and a great logo. Some team names lend themselves better to logos than others. Consider that when deciding on a name.
Where Your Name Might Show Up
Your team name might appear on the league schedule, tournament schedules, t-shirts, warm-ups, sweatshirts, and other garbs. It will also be associated with your group in conversations within and outside the team. Choose a distinctive name that folks can rally behind.
