Name for the team now we know roster
- Thread starter OldRob
- Start date
We could call them the 2026-27 UK mens basketball team
Team names originate from a nuance or characteristic of its players. It is not just given before we know anything about this squad.
I could keep going
This might be controversial but I'm going with "the Kentucky Wildcats".

I’ll never understand the obsession of giving Kentucky teams names. For one, not every team has a nickname and it has to just come about naturally, it can’t be forced.
The Athletic Department should sell the naming rights. Here's the pitch:
"Join the legendary legacy of Kentucky Basketball: The Untouchables. The Fiddling Five. Rupp's Runts. The Unforgettables. The Comeback Cats...And now The (YOUR SLOGAN HERE) Cats." Get your bids in no later than October 3, and see your slogan on the backs of warm-ups at Big Blue Madness.
That's a much bigger draw than some insignificant uniform patch they are now trying to peddle right now. Actually give this year's team a nickname TV and radio announcers would be required to mention a certain number of times.

Most of the time, team names are stupid.
Well stated! I made my post similarly, as an instant knee jerk response, before seeing your’s
The Rafters.
The Wildcats
Or they need to EARN a nickname as the season progresses if appropriate.

Grown adults starting threads like this is a little, well...non grown adult like.
Just to play around and have some fun with it, I'll give this a try :
(I hope this is fun and I don't butcher it! haha!)
"Posse of the 3 Amigo's"
- alternatively :
"Circus de Tri Amigo's"
The Bluegrass Posse
Stone Cold Killers
The Musketeers was a good one. I'd add :
Head Hunting Musketeers
(mainly because I want to see our length and defense be so unreal and freakishly, surprisingly, even shockingly GREAT.... Here's hoping Big Franck and UZI & McBride of Frankenstein will come in and hunt some heads and block everything when these little teams get into the paint.)
