How to Create Your Own Baseball Team Name

A great baseball team name might include a punny reference to the game, an animal mascot, or an intimidating and powerful mantra.

It’s all about finding the perfect fit for your particular team — which may require you to create your own baseball team name.

Keep the following tips in mind while brainstorming:

  • Take input from your teammates. The decision of the perfect baseball team name shouldn’t be left to one person. After all, as the saying goes, “teamwork makes the dream work!” Take name ideas from your teammates and ask them what type of name they’d like. Do they want a traditional, mascot-based name like “Supernovas” or something totally unique?
  • Get inspiration from the sport. What do you love most about baseball? Make a shortlist to get inspiration for your team name. For example, if your favorite thing about it is the fond memories you have of watching games at the ballpark, you might go for a fun option like “The Pretzel Peddlers” (referencing the popular ballpark snack).
  • Brand your team. Your name is your team’s identity, so you should consider the brand you want to build for your team. Do you want to be seen as a fun and energetic team, one that takes the game very seriously, or one that could bat with the best of ’em? Choosing the right tone for your name will help you promote your team to potential fans and supporters.
