How to Name your Fantasy Football Squad

Here are some quick guidelines:

1.) Select a moniker that is appropriate for your audience. If there are many folks in your league from your workplace, give a lot of thought about how risqué you want to be with your name selection. When in doubt, like a dress code for an event, elevate your game – err on the side of more formal – and demonstrate good taste.

2.) Ask yourself if the name fits your team’s makeup. Many options are plays on words or puns related to important players, e.g., Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood for Aaron Rodgers. This is obvious, but it really helps to have that player on your team if you’re going in that direction.

3.) Bounce your choice off some other folks and ask them: Is it fun? Is it memorable? To play fantasy football the right way, you need a great name.

4.) Is it too seasonal? Will your selection work as strongly in February as in August?

5.) It helps if the spelling can only be interpreted one way.

6.) Another consideration: Does your choice lend itself well to a logo?

7.) Consider basing your name selection on a star receiver, running back, quarterback, defensive player (must be a superstar), or based on a team.

Putting Your Name To Use

Fantasy leagues for the 2020 NFL season provide ample opportunities for head coaches of teams to use their carefully selected fantasy football team names in various ways. Here are some:

1.) Once you’ve selected your name, sell it to other owners by linking your personal sign-off to it. Add “Team Owner” after your selection in email communications with the team name below it.

2.) Create a logo for your team name.

3.) A great team might even make a t-shirt with a logo and a team name on it.
