About Red team names

Red is the color of fire engines, stop signs and the top stripe of the rainbow, and a team in red tends to be the one a crowd watches first. Most of this list is for that team: the side handed red shirts at a field day, a color war, a camp, an office contest or a rec league.

The names come in a few styles. Power names put a force after the color: Red Thunder, Red Avalanche, Red Stampede. Shade names swap in a more exact red and lean on alliteration: Crimson Crushers, Scarlet Storm, Ruby Rockets, Maroon Marauders, Vermilion Vipers, Garnet Gladiators. Red animals make ready mascots, from Northern Cardinals and Lucky Ladybugs to Rock Lobsters and Fiddler Crabs. Fire and heat give you Fire Engines, Five Alarm Fire and Heat Wave, the kitchen gives you Ketchup Kings and Chili Peppers, and English is full of red idioms to pun on: Well Red, Red-y or Not, Seeing Red, Paint the Town Red, Roll Out the Red Carpet.

"Red team" has a second meaning. In security, planning and debate practice, the red team is the group asked to play the other side and test a plan. A small share of the list serves that use, with names such as The Devil's Advocates, Friendly Adversaries and Assumption Testers.

How to choose Red team names

  • Try the name as a chant before you commit. Two or three beats work best: Go Go Red, Red Thunder, Crimson Crushers.
  • If several teams wear something close to red, give each a shade. Scarlet Storm, Maroon Marauders, Garnet Gladiators and Cherry Champions are all red, and the scoreboard stays clear.
  • Pick a name with a mascot built in when you need a banner or a shirt design. Lucky Ladybugs, Rock Lobsters, Fire Engines and Mighty Redwoods are easy to draw.
  • Famous clubs already own some red names. For a league, a shirt or anything you will print, choose a name of your own rather than borrowing a professional or college team's.
  • For a workplace red team, pick a name that sounds like a helpful challenger, such as Friendly Adversaries or Second Opinion, so the people whose plan you test still want to hear from you.

Frequently asked questions

What are good names for a red team?

Classic choices are Red Thunder, Red Stampede, Crimson Crushers and Scarlet Storm. For a mascot try Northern Cardinals, Lucky Ladybugs or Rock Lobsters, and for a pun try Well Red, Red-y or Not or Seeing Red.

What are some funny red team names?

The Red-y puns do most of the work: Red-y or Not, Born Red-y, Rough and Red-y and Red-y to Rumble. Food names are a good second choice, such as Ketchup If You Can, Playing Ketchup and You Say Tomato, and Red as a Lobster suits any team that forgot the sunscreen.

What other words can I use for red in a team name?

Crimson, scarlet, ruby, cardinal, cherry, brick, maroon, vermilion, garnet, burgundy, carmine and cranberry all read as red. Pair one with a word that starts with the same letter, as in Ruby Raptors, Burgundy Bandits or Vermilion Vipers, and the name is easy to remember.

Does this list work for a security or debate red team?

A small part of it does. Names such as The Devil's Advocates, The Loyal Opposition, Stress Testers, Assume Nothing and Red Team Review Board are written for a group whose job is to argue the other side or test a plan. The rest of the list is for teams that simply wear red.
