I’ve been participating in Fantasy Football Leagues for nearly 20 years. I am currently in five (six if you count the guillotine league I just joined for a change of pace). I’ve dabbled in big trades, made some big time value picks in drafts, put up 200 bombs in a 1QB league, and won a Brady amount of championships.
However, there are very few things more fun for me than coming up with the perfect pun for a team name and making a bad Photoshop design for the logo.
Every year, my algorithm spits out TikToks boasting the best team names for this upcoming fantasy season. They’re usually filled with team names that your uncle, who still pays 10 bucks for a fantasy football magazine, would love. It’s totally cool if you are going to use “Show Me Your TDs” or “Hock Tua” for the third year in a row, but they shouldn’t be on these lists in 2026. I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite emo/pop punk/alt/etc team names I came up with/encountered this season. Are these the best team names? I don’t know, but they’re mostly goofy as hell. Since AI has become prevalent in these logos, I also thought it would be fun to include a handful of the bad Photoshop logos I made. I’ve spent as much time working on these logos as I did on mock drafts this year (very little), so if you feel inclined, they’re free for the taking.
