Do we need a name?

[samwize77]

For our Dline? We have the "Boom" for the secondary...but what about the front line?
Not unprecedented.
The Fearsome Foursome
The Purple People Eaters
The Steel Curtain
Our Dline is badass and needs something also......

The Sea Wall...comes to mind...but it doesn't have that "nastiness" to it...any suggestions?

 

[Seatown001]

Am I the only one who cringes at these nicknames? Don't get me wrong I love our D but I feel kind of silly every time I hear the legion of boom used. Maybe it's cause I'm old but I don't think a nickname is deserved until the team has actually achieved something and while I have high hopes for the hawks they haven't achieved a thing yet, so please no more bad nicknames.

 

[samwize77]

Duly noted!
But, its still fun...for me and others I'm sure. So in that spirit....I'm gonna continue, soooo....
For the whole defense...Doom and Boom....lol...sorry, I had to....lol

 

[Seeker]

yeah legion of boom is too wordy and was kind of a forced bob and groz contest call in thing.

Real nick names are just organic. people just ran with 12th man,
This entire D needs a name, just one name and something that is real.

 

[Seatown001]

Lol, legion of boom is just silly sounding and a terrible nickname IMO haha

 

[samwize77]

The Big Red Wall (or Big Reds Wall)
After all, big Red is the defacto leader......okay...I'm reaching .....lol

the sea bass (spelt like the fish but pronounced like the sound)
then we have the bass and the boom

and the treble of linebackers

our defense is the symphony of destruction




I'm aware of exactly how ridiculous it sounds, because nicknames for teams suck.
Does the 85 Bears defense have a nickname?
Yes
The 85 Bears
We'll never have a better opportunity to take advantage of the 12th man and refer to this defense as "the 12 hawks"

 

[Shaz]

This defense was named Legion of Boom, it's been pinned several times during the MNF game and it's here to stay

 

[Tech Worlds]

We could just call them "good".

 

[Kamcussion]

We could just call them "good".

That works for me.

 

[grizbob]

Guess the short answer would be no. :mrgreen:

 

[Basis4day]

Not a huge fan of nicknames... unless you're talking a dynasty of some sort.

If i had to make one, i like:

The Flood

 

[NJSeahawk]

how about "still underrated" ?

 

[12thMan1]

At least we didn't have to hear Gruden on MNF use the term "Boom Boom Squad".

 

[Blitzhawk]

How about Hawk's D.

 

[Kamcussion]

Ill be fine with the nickname.. That defense that won a super bowl for the Hawks.

 

[SirTed]

No more nicknames, please. Just stop it.

 

[TJH]

Cringe.

 

[SonicHawk]

I think nicknames only worked when reporters had pieces of paper sticking out of their fedoras that said "PRESS"

 

[largenutz]

mass attack
