Potential names for an NFL franchise in London
(all of which are better and less offensive than the R*******)
London Beefeaters — will keep the Ravens’ defense grounded, or a tower collapses or something.
London Top Hats — because snooty offense wins championships.
London Spivs — sounds like ‘shivs’, a promise of sneaky violence.
London AFC Utd Town — will appeal to the local hardcore inattentive soccer crowd.
London Fish & Chips — guarantees a different spin on the tailgate; perhaps opportunities for a sea-based experience?
London Redcoats — they’re coming! And they’re losing!
London Pigeons — have you seen a London pigeon? IT’S A GIANT RAT WITH WINGS.
London Superb Owls — In Britain, game recognizes puns.
London Crown Jewels — expensive, shiny and stolen from elsewhere — sounds like free agency, doesn’t it?
London Bridges — we’ve got the original, so why not enjoy this facsimile instead?
London Wahn-Kers — this mortal and grave insult will act as motivation for the players.
London Corgis — the Monarchs were popular in NFL Europe, so the Queen’s small, spoilt yet aggressive canines will definitely catch on.
London Umbrellas — the way they’re wielded you certainly would class them as offensive weapons.
London Crickets — by jiminy, let’s piggyback on another quaint English sport!
London Fatbergs — once other teams discover what a fatberg is, they won’t want to tackle them; an easy way to get above .500 seasons.
London Marxists — if this doesn’t scare opponents, nothing will.
London Bad Teeth — actually, this is scarier than the Marxism.
London Brexits — seeing as nothing else has got the country as fired up recently.
London Unicorns — as that’s how likely any UK franchise will be.
