100 funny team names / group names for your team

In this article, we would like to give you some help on how to find the perfect team name for your hobby team. We also show you 100 original and fun team names for all kinds of sports.
Whether at the next company run, the university league or other fun tournaments - as the name suggests, the main thing is to have fun. In order to stand out as a team apart from the sporting performance and to provide a laugh or two, a funny team name is crucial. In addition, an original group name on the jersey ensures more cohesion within the team and will be remembered for a long time.

Think up creative team names yourself - 7 tips

Anyone can copy it! But maybe you have the incentive to come up with your very own funny team name. Then we would like to give you 7 tips that can support your creative brainstorming process:

1. Proceed in a structured way


In order to find a team name as a complete team that feels coherent to everyone, it is useful to structure yourself well in advance. It is best to appoint a secretary to receive and sort all the suggestions, or you can create a clear spreadsheet that you can all access and vote on at the end. 

Then the brainstorming process begins: In order to find a truly original name, you should start by adding any suggestion, no matter how crazy, to the list - who knows what might come out of it. You should also take your time. A creative idea sometimes takes a long time to come up with.

2. Create recognition value


  • What makes your team stand out? 
  • What do you all have in common in the team? 
  • How do you act like a group?
  • What special features or characteristics does your team have? 

These are all questions you can ask yourself in order to create a recognition value with your team name. You can also work with positive associations: Which terms evoke positive feelings in you? Perhaps you feel a strong connection to your homeland, have a common favourite pub or have a special taste in music.

3. Include sport in the name


Original and funny team names can also be specifically adapted to the respective sport. Word games with the sport itself or the specific jargon are very popular. For example, a volleyball team could be called "Blocked Party" or "New kids on the Block". There is no limit to creativity here.

4. Be oriented towards large clubs


A classic for funny team names is the parody of big sports clubs or sporting idols. A player like Virgil Van Dijk, for example, is known to pretty much EVERYONE. With a team name like "Rhythm of Van Dijk", for example, you can ensure a particularly high recognition value. 


Nevertheless, you should make sure that your parody is clearly different from the original name and that you do not deface it. This may annoy the rights holder and lead to legal action.

5. Be inspired by the sponsor


Maybe you as a team are planning to get a sponsor on board or have already been able to win one. This is also a great starting point for creating original and fun team names. Not only the sponsor name, but also the logo can be included in the creative process and, depending on the agreement, suitable elements can be adopted.

6. Include alliteration, rhymes or puns


We have already mentioned the puns above. You can never go wrong with them. But literary tricks such as alliteration (the same initial letter in consecutive words) and rhymes also look particularly good in team names and are better remembered.

7. Interview outsiders


Who hasn't experienced this: sometimes you are so stuck with a few ideas that you become blind to new ones. In this case, it can help to ask outsiders who are not involved in the sport. It is sometimes astonishing what appropriate associations can be found in this way.
With a funny team name, you'll always get a laugh in the dressing room.

Print matching jersey to team name

If you're going to the trouble of finding a really original team name, you should also consider designing a matching logo and immortalising the whole thing on your jersey. This not only strengthens team spirit and recognition at events and competitions, but also gives you a unique memento. 

Amateur teams in particular want to really let off steam and give free rein to their creativity when designing their jerseys. With conventional printing methods, however, the price increases with each logo and sometimes with each additional colour. In order not to drive the costs of your hobby team to infinity, we recommend the innovative and at the same time cost-effective sublimation printing for the design of your jerseys. 

While all other printing techniques involve printing or flocking on a blank jersey afterwards, with sublimation printing everything happens in just one production step. This results in the following advantages, among others

  • Free choice of colour and pattern for the jersey itself 
  • Use of all colours without surcharge 
  • No extra costs for logos and lettering 
  • Even small runs can be produced cost-effectively 

The following video shows you how the whole thing works with the 3D configurator from spized.


Our tip: spized offers a practical voting function for teams. As soon as the design of your hobby team's jersey is complete, you can release it for voting in your customer account. In this way, you are already acting as a team before the competition has even started.
