About Chicago team names

Chicago hands a team plenty of material: strict rules about hot dogs, a lake that sets the weather, a flag people actually wear and an elevated train everyone calls the L. This list is for rec leagues, trivia nights, office teams, 16-inch softball and fantasy leagues, with names such as Dibs Defenders, No Ketchup Club, Brown Line Express and Two-Flat Titans.

The 1,000 names fall into sixteen groups: hot dogs, Italian beef and giardiniera; deep dish, tavern-style pizza and other local dishes; the lake, the weather and dibs; the L; expressways, bridges and parking; North Side neighborhoods; South and West Side neighborhoods; streets and the grid; architecture and landmarks; city nicknames and puns; the flag and city history, including the 1893 World's Fair; blues, house music and improv; local slang and housing words; invented franchise-style names; softball, bags, office and trivia names; and wildlife, the river and the prairie.

A few terms for visitors. Dibs is the winter custom of saving a shoveled parking spot with old chairs. A two-flat is a two-story building with one apartment per floor, a gangway is the narrow passage between buildings and a frunchroom is the front room. Try a neighborhood joke on someone who lives there first.

How to choose Chicago team names

  • Claim your own corner of the city. Ravenswood Manor Mallards, Hyde Park Parakeets and Canaryville Canaries land best when the team really plays or meets there.
  • Match the name to the event. No Gloves Needed suits 16-inch softball, Bags, Not Cornhole a bags league, Trivia Under the L a quiz night and Pedway Pathfinders an office challenge.
  • Pick a joke the whole league gets. Hold the Ketchup, Cooler by the Lake and We Called Dibs need no explaining, while Hubbard's Cave Dwellers is for people who drive the Kennedy every day.
  • For an imaginary pro side, keep to one noun the city can own. Chicago Bascules, Chicago Plovers and Chicago Wild Onions read like expansion teams.
  • Leave the names and logos of the city's real pro and college teams alone, and search a name before you print jerseys to see who else already uses it.

Frequently asked questions

What are some good Chicago team names?

Second City Sluggers, Lake Shore Drivers, Two-Flat Titans and Bascule Bridge Lifters sound like teams and still say Chicago. For a joke name, try No Ketchup Club, Dibs Defenders or Casserole Deniers.

What is a funny Chicago name for a trivia team?

Trivia nights like a pun or a local complaint: L of a Team, Chi Squared, Waiting for Signals Ahead, Third Winter in April and Gone With the Windy City. Food rules work too, such as Ketchup Is for Fries and It Is Still Pizza.

Are these real Chicago sports teams?

No. These are names for your own team, and the list was drafted to leave out the city's professional and college teams. It was not compared with any list of teams, so a name here can still match a rec team, a school team or a local club. Search before you sign up for a league or order shirts.

What do dibs, the L and a two-flat mean?

Dibs is the custom of holding a parking spot you shoveled out with chairs or other household objects. The L is the city's elevated train system, with lines named by color, such as the Brown Line and the Red Line. A two-flat is a two-story apartment building with one unit on each floor, and a gangway is the narrow walkway between two buildings.
