Team Nicknames

[personal]

Leakygas.
Carrot army.

 

[miguelvazpinto]

We have a golden opportunity to rename Geox. Any suggestions?

Hugo Chavez Viva la Revolucion Cycling Team

 

[Hugo Koblet]

My personal favorite is definitely Leotard.

 

[will10]

The upcoming RadioSchleck is a favourite already. Back in the days of Kohl and Schumacher a friend of mine referred to them as Gerolstinker which I liked.

 

[RedheadDane]

Only current teams or past teams as well?

I remember when Cipollini used to ride for Saeco around 1999-2000, they used to be called the red train. Not very creative though.

Well... the rider nickname threads also frequently mentions old riders.
And, no! You're right! It's not!

Buy More Cyclists
Bunch of Mediocre Cyclists
Bland Mob and Cadel

Those are nice!

I always liked LEAKY GAS

LoL!

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Radioshack = Omertà Inc.
Saxo Bank = Sexy Bank
Caisse d'Epargne = Squirrels
Miche = Ersatz Rock Racing
Bouygues = Boogie Telecom

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Some of the BMC fans call BMC the 'Red Devils' or sometimes call the fans and the team members 'BMC teamies'. I personally like the Red Devils.

When you give yourself a nickname, and you're the only one that knows about it, that isn't a nickname.

 

[auscyclefan94]

lol at ACF trying to get a cool nickname for bmc and the answers that followed.lol

poor guy...

Err, I wasn't trying to get a cool name and I have no problem with the names I or other came up with. Stop taking nasty cheap shots.

Waterloo Sunrise, where did I say that I gave BMC that nickname and where did I say that I was the only one who used it? Learn to read.

Yes! And instead of a shoe breathing in the center of the jersey, they can have his face instead.

If one Googles "BMC Red Devils" the first hit I get is your post...

Doesn't mean you're making it up, or that the 7 people who populate the BMC Fan Club don't regularly use it, but still. I smiled.

 

[Woody22]

Manchester United will always be the Red Devils. How about we call BMC the Red Cadevils, after the great one himself.

 

[Eric8-A]

I'd call BMC the Lego squad. Something about their kit reminds me of Legos.

I don't really like the nickname "Red Devils". It's not original nor creative. And it's a bit stupid and redundant. Devils are supposed to be red anyway.
And there is nothing devilish in Chad Beyer, Chris Barton, Chris Butler or Simon Zahner...

I think it's a fitting nickname. Same as the Belgian national soccer team, who also have one or two good players amidst a throng of mediocrity. And who rarely win.

Don't worry, they all got the boot.

Yeah but they "deserved" that nickname back in 2010.

like Man U.

RadioShleck, Rabobus and LeakyGas are the funniest have meaning or will be used a lot next year.

 

[sublimit]

Somebody came out with "Omerta Pharma Lotto" earlier this year, I think it might of been Cobblestoned.

Enjoyed that one.

It's not the players that suck, Belgium has a good amount of really decent players playing in big teams and doing a good job there... But our national team for some reason lacks something resulting in a lot of draws and sometimes a win/loss.

And trust me BMC will completely destroy Rabobus next year

Name the decisive players in big teams?

I have no doubt about that. Rabobank gets progressively worse every year (and just sacked their last star, Freire), BMC the other way around.

I think Eden Hazard is good, playing well in the Ligue 1 but not that well in the National Team though.

What do you think of "The little red caps"

 

[sublimit]

M Fellaini is effective playing for Everton and one of the better players over here in England. Hazard as mentioned and thats it.
