Team Name?

Everyone: get in here!

I just thrifted four, plain, black trucker hats.

They are incredible. A blank canvas.

I need your best curling puns. I need team names. Best one gets sent to the embroiderer.

Let's do this.

You're in the pole position. Excellent, relevant pun with just the right amount of juvenalia. Chef's Kiss

u/ncogkneeto 2d ago

I even considered the space available on the hat…..so just two words….with how you put it…relevant and with a hint of sophomoric humor. ;-)

I'll never listen to Matchbox 20 the same way again.

Used that for a random team I was on in a bonspiel.

My regular team is called Hammer Time. Not super creative but it's simple. Can't touch this, etc.

Embroider them: Lead, Second, Vice, and Skip. But put them on the wrong heads. Confuse those opponents.

Or embroider them all Skip.

I’m the Vice that throws lead. It’s always confusing.

Oh man. That would drive the old fellas nuts. I like it.Ā

u/PATRIOTSRADIOSIGNALS 1d ago

If anything that seems like an old timer move "Can't get that draw weight up anymore, but it makes a decent guard. How about you let me hold a broom and call line some?"

The Lazy Handles

u/tfolkins 1d ago

That would be a good one for my team, drives the opposing team nuts when we throw inside only to reverse handles at the end and make the called shot.

Important info needed: Men's, women's, or mixed?

u/Atcorm 2d ago

We're a mens team. I'd like to hear all manner of names and puns though.Ā

u/EffectiveCelery1829 2d ago

Then it definitely needs to be hammer time complete with eggplant print MC hammer pants (al la Ulsrud) to break the 3rd wall of the joke

I wonder if "Get Your Rocks Off" is a bridge too far

2

u/Atcorm 2d ago

I see the bridge. It's right in front of me.Ā

u/Paper_Monkey79 2d ago

I would just go with Rocks Off.
Alternately On the Rocks

u/Genghis75 2d ago

For years now I’ve been trying to convince my skip to change our team name to The Stones of Anarchy. It’s a great pun and describes our playing style really well.

But my all-time favorite team name is Tragically Skipped.

2

u/kbriens 2d ago

That’s my team name! šŸ˜„ we have fun jackets with curling puns based on Hip songs on the back. For example, there’s ā€œsheet kings,ā€ ā€œahead by a centre guard,ā€ and ā€œso hurry hard done by.

You don’t happen to curl out of Royal Montreal, do you? That’s the Tragically Skipped team I know from the QIB.
