I don’t know that they’d get away with Brooklyn Netters. Brooklyn Knots would be better

Brooklyn Naughts. For the people that moved there 10 years ago but complain about how much better it was “back then”.

Only one letter off the real name. They probably wouldn’t risk it.

Although Baseball Mogul ‘99 just changed one vowel of each team and player name.

I like how towards the end you just kinda gave up on replacing the location names. Memphis and New Orleans having two of the more iconic city nicknames and not being replaced is pretty funny.

Maybe “Bluff City” isn’t as popular as I thought. It’s just one of those city nicknames that always stuck with me.

Exactly. Only people who like to mumble and hold their feces in their hands can use that team name.

Super Dunk Shot, the Japanese version of NCAA Basketball for Super Nintendo, did it way back in 1992. The US and Canada got a college game, PAL regions got a game with a fictional basketball league, and Japan got a knockoff NBA title.

Who could ever forget the NBA’s most iconic rivalry, Lasers vs. Celeries? To say nothing of the gravity-defying highlights of the Bills’ Jordun. And of course, hopefully one day we’ll see the return of the Seattle Superjets.

Oh that Superjets screenshot gave me Rogers Clemens Baseball vibes. The Detroit Wheels were my team in that one, led by C. Fieldman, A. Melltram, Mickleton, and Bambi (aka Rob Deere).

New Orleans Seagulls. Pelicans fly through the air majestically, then dive into the water and grab fish with pinpoint accuracy using their highly developed sense of sight.

Seagulls try to steal your food at the beach, then shit on you

It’s hilarious how people who aren’t from NY think that Knicks means “pants”

If every team was named like they were in a non-licensed video game.
