S26 DSFL Draftees (and Waivers) Renaming – The Social Media Name Generator Edition
Just a few days ago, I posted the S26 ISFL Draftee Renaming – Social Media Edition. With the DSFL draft now in the books, I am excited to share the companion article the S26 DSFL Draftee Renaming – Social Media Edition. Hopefully it’s a fun way for the new draftees to connect with their new teammates and enjoy themselves as a draft class.
A quick reminder of the process: I started by assigning each DSFL team to one of four cliques: Hobbits, Strippers, Pirates, or Rappers. This assignment is completely subjective and based on my first association of team to clique (although I found this mapping more straightforward for the DSFL teams than the ISFL teams). Next, the first name and last name (or last initial) of each draftee’s were input into their team clique’s online name generator:
Association of Teams to Cliques
Here I assign each of the 8 DFL teams to one of the four chosen cliques: Hobbits, Strippers, Pirates, and Rappers. I give only brief reasons or word associations for each assignment.
Bondi Beach Buccaneers – Pirates – they are literally already pirates; if you wanted a more interesting reason you are out of luck
Dallas Birddogs – Strippers – Texas (and especially Dallas) reminds me of road trips, truck stops, dive bars off the highway, and strip clubs; in these classy joints, you can probably bring your dog in with you
Kansas City Coyotes – Hobbits – for the same reasons as I associated the Baltimore Hawks with hobbits; the many anime watchers on this team probably love high-fantasy worlds so it seems a fitting association for the purple weeb dogs
London Royals – Rappers – we have so many straight legends coming from London, including the rapping duo Big Whiz and Crunk 3000 who have taken over the Arizona Outlaws
Minnesota Grey Ducks – Strippers – this just seems like a young team that likes to party and strippers are party people
Norfolk Seawolves – Pirates – as a vessel below the ocean surface, it only seems fitting that the seawolves would be mapped to the pirates that ride the waves above
Portland Pythons – Hobbits – I just feel like there are some friendly pythons living in the Old Forest adjacent to the Shire
Tijuana Luchadores – Rappers – being a luchador is all about stage presence and owning a unique, spandex-clad persona and rappers also have big personalities
