Most Common Sports Team Names

Directions

Name the team names which are used at least 25 times among all US sports teams (pro/college/amateur/high school) according to MascotDB.com. These are the male/gender-neutral nicknames for schools which also have a female nickname (i.e. no ‘Lady So-and-so’ in this quiz). Some nicknames can be spelled as one or two words – I consolidated these into the most common way. Entries with a ‘*’ are more than one word. # of teams and first letter shown.
