Once again it’s time for another Top 20 contest. This time we’ll be looking at the coolest-named sports teams in the United States Collegiate Athletic Association and the National Christian College Athletic Association.

20. OHIO STATE-MARION SCARLET WAVE
Location: Marion, OH
Comment: The Scarlet Wave is a nickname every bit as cool as The Crimson Tide and The Green Wave. You can’t go wrong with names like this for sports teams as far as I’m concerned and I’ve been saying for years that when Syracuse changed their team’s names from The Orangemen to The Orange that they’d have been better off going with Continue reading

The voters have spoken and the ASA Avengers are the winners of The 20 Coolest-Named JUCO/COCO Sports Teams contest! It’s hard to tell which thing people found cooler: the name Avengers or that incredibly cool logo up there. My e-mailers wanted that look on anything from T-shirts to jackets to tattoos, so I have a feeling ASA could subsidize their institution just off of merchandising. I call dibs on their fight song for my ring-tone! To follow their teams and inquire about buying something with that logo on it click here: http://www.asa.edu/default-athletics.asp
In second place were the Hutchinson Blue Dragons, and just like with the Avengers voters were torn about which was more appealing: the name Blue Dragons or the logo. To follow their teams click here: http://cms.hutchcc.edu/hcc/Dragonshome.aspx?menu_id=156&head_id=8554&id=172
In third place were the Iowa Western Reivers, proving the perennial popularity of swashbuckling imagery for sports teams! To follow their teams click here: http://athletics.iwcc.edu/
