What's in a Name?

[the deacon]

After browsing on the Irish forum pages I noticed that most of the teams there have very unorthodox and colourful names for themselves which I thought was only limited to the Australian, Belgians or the Brits. Or were made up just for a mixed team at an International !
What a big difference these names make compared with staid club team names from Italy, France and Germany and such .:)
So I thought, which team has the wackiest name in World Canoe Polo circuits?
Any offers to better the best and name names? ;)

Luton Sex Chickens

they even had bibs made up with two chickens f***ing

in the end the BCU made them change it and the team played for a long time as Luton SC

[I spit da truth]

V-UNIT!!!!!

[Dave Morgan]

my first polo teams name was garbage

we didn't believe in telling lies

now changed name to BOMBADASS don't know why cause we are still rubbish

thury harcot is quite good. I think that translates to 'Very Hardcore' :bang:

[Henrik Holst]

The name of my club in Norwegian is "Strand Kajakklubb". A direct translation of this would be: "Beach Cayak club". Therefore the name of our best mens team is: "Beach Boys", with our own proffessionally made team logo with the name "Beach Boys", with a big shark biting over a few of the letters in the name. cool!!

It very nice actually.

I always thought Thury Harcot translated to 'fairly hardcore'?! Suppose that's still fairly good but it's not in the same ballpark as V-unit which is extremely hardcore by implication.

I'd rather be extremely hardcore than fairly hardcore any day. Who wouldn't?

I hate to prove anybody wrong, but Thury-Harcourt is just the name of the French city this team comes from.;)

[Rolf [GKV]]

We just have GKV A GKV B GKV C etc

Only our 11 year old youth made a name for them self, 'The Piranyas' and our team of recreative players are calling themself 'the hoornse tijgers', hoornse from the lake next to our club and well yea....tigers:bunny:

Ooops, well it will always be very hardcore to me anyway :thumbup:

[Rap's MVP]

just incase anyone doesn't know V-Unit is viking c.c.

[Peedy Cubs]

Are'nt Viking a group of boy scouts? Not exactly likely to strike fear into the hearts of the masses are they?

[Rolf [GKV]]

We also have a club called Viking in NL.

[steffers]

some of the names were never really official because they were just thrown out there for various competitions, but here are just a few ive heard round these parts of the world: Squirrel Bashers, Team Fun, Freshwater Otters, Silence of the Lambs, Austin Powers, LA-TEX (laytex), Grandpas, Pathetic Attempt at Glory, Cracked Lobsters, Rob's gals.

ok that's all i remember. folks that know me and or know the teams im talking about......any more im forgetting?
