The Ravens are named after the literary works of Baltimore icon Edger Allan Poe. The mascots are even named after him. So they should be top tier Edit: in historical tier
There are no bears in Illinois
The Browns are named after Paul Brown, the founder of the Bengals.
Bears? BEARS?
There are no Bears in Chicago, trust me
Need a new section for Historically Geographically Accurate for the Panthers and Jaguars
The residents of Minnesota come from the place that Vikings came from.
New Orleans Saints coming from a French city doesn’t seem like it’s “not even close”.
Minnesota was originally almost all Scandinavian immigrants. Vikings is a very fitting name for Minnesota.
Buffalo: too widespread
Chiefs, representing native Americans, which historically were more widespread and covered the same area as Buffalo: historically accurate
Well there’s a lot of Scandinavian immigrants who moved to Minnesota and the general area. Also long ago in the before times, Titans did indeed roam the lands we now call Tennessee.
Jaguars did live in florida in prehistoric times so they should be moved to historically accurate. Same is also true for panthers in Carolina.
The titans get their name from Nashville which was once deemed “Athens of the south.”
The term comes from Nashville having classical architecture and a high number of higher learning institutions. Nashville also has the Parthenon and the titans stadium was once called Aldelphia Coliseum.
Confusing yes, but since the name draws from the town the team resides in it’s better than others.
Who said zoos don’t count lol
Jets in NY made sense in the 60s
Eric the Red has entered chat.
The giants are named after the tall buildings in new york.
So like relatively close at least its like a 25 minute ride from new jersey there to the city
Minnesota has a lot of Scandanavian immigrants.
Jaguars are native to Florida and should be higher.
And Cleveland is perfect. Nobody cares if a team is named after an owner. The Dallas Jerries? The Vegas Davises? See. No one cares. When you ask people what their least favorite colors are they answer orange and brown the most. Cleveland is just there taking up space. They took it to the next level with Watson.
This got several good nose breaths outta me, thanks
Giants and Titans for sure walked the earth at some point. but im sure they wouldnt have wanted to be in New Jersey
Seems a lot of this chart should be in the “not interested in learning about it” category
The bighorn sheep is located in California (at least a subspecies) but I do like this tier list
The name ‘Saints” came from the fact that it was formed on All Saints Day and New Orleans is a predominantly Catholic city
Minnesota has a historically large Scandanavian population, I think Vikings is fairly accurate.
Seahawks I think is a regional name but the actual bird (Osprey / *Pandion haliaetus*) apparently has a pretty global range, hitting six of seven continents.
I’m just saying dolphins cannot live on land, and therefore they are not geographically accurate.
“not even close”? Minnesota has the largest population of Nordic people in the United States.
Titans mascot is a raccoon I’m pretty sure they have those in Tennessee
