As a result of a few hilarious team names coming up in another thread, I thought it would be good for people to share any they know of here. Real names please!
Already had BSC Young Boys, Braintree Town FC, Wanka Deportivo and Dukla Pumphersto (although this is a charity team!).
Let me get in early and mention Melbourne Heart. I hear it and I think Captain Planet.

Real Salt Lake. Does anyone know if Real is pronounced Real or Re-al? Either way it is a bloody stupid name.

Utah doesn't exactly have a massive Spanish ex-pat population, does it? Might just be the stupidest name then.

From Wiki:
Dave Checketts and SCP Worldwide partners Dean Howes, Kenneth Munoz, Michael McCarthy, and Chris Bevilacqua chose Real Salt Lake for the team's name because they desired to associate the team with a successful soccer club, Real Madrid, as well as to develop a brand that was clearly associated with association football.

You guys need to look closer to home.
What about Cru-Bar Maycenvale and Youngheart Manawatu?
Even Stewarts Powerbase Electrical Supplies Red Sox are worth a shout here.
Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

It actually is - 'Young heart, Easy living' is the 'Absolutely Positively Wellington' of Palmerston North.

This team was originally invented for a Scottish comedy series, their glorious name in full was 'Dukla Pumpherston Sawmill and Tannery'. Jag2010-04-23 15:42:09

Eleven Men In Flight (Swaziland) takes some beating. Also, our very own Stop Out must raise a few eyebrows overseas.
And on the subject of sponsor's names, for a while we had Cable Price Toyota Mount Albert Ponsonby and Mount Eden Bookshop Eden.

Yes, that is correct, Stop Out came from a home for errant boys.
I've always thought that Manawatu Younghearts might sounda bit better than what they are currently called.
I also bemoan the overuse of "United" in NZ club names. Get some originality.

Some clubs are actually 'United' though e.g. North Shore United = merger between Devonport and Belmont clubs, Birkenhead United = merger between Birkenhead and Birkdale clubs, Fencibles United = merger between Howick and Pakuranga clubs.
Three for me, and two for them.

Exactly. KCU - merger between Raumati Hearts and P'ram united. I always giggled at P'ram United though, considering they were a splinter club formed in the 1990's (80's?) by disgruntled Raumati Hearts members!

We have a Raumati Hearts pennant hanging up in our clubrooms.
