San Jose Seals: After all the seals you see near the coast in the Bay Area
Baltimore Crabs: Baltimore and crabs are as inseperable as Pittsburgh and its ironworks
Kansas City Bulls: Kansas City has a massive cattle industry, and the American Royal is one of the largest cattle shows in America
Philadelphia Colonials: Yet another typical American patriotism name, but since both Philly AltTeams have patriotism connections I think it may fit
Dallas Wildcats: Wildcatters worked in the oil industry, and you know Texans and Americans love their oil
Pittsburgh Blazers: Pittsburgh and its iron industry are nearly inseperable, and so they are named after the blazing hot forges of the ironworks

Don't forget about the Chicago Bulls btw.

​San Jose Electrics - Silicone Valley inspiration
Kansas City Railers - The midwest is built by railroads.
​Dallas Flames - The flame that erupts from an oil rig is a pretty iconic symbol of the oil industry.
​Baltimore Americans - The national anthem was created in the Charm City. It also has an old-timey feel.
Philadelphia Lions - Another old-timey name.
​Pittsburgh Anvils - Direct ties to the Steel City nickname.

Baltimore Spanglers - Star Spangled Banner
Dallas-Fort Worth Panthers - Fort Worth is nicknamed Panther City
Kansas City Ponies - The Pony Express started in St Joseph MO
Philadelphia Mummers - After Mummers Parade on New Year's Day
Pittsburgh Commoners - The city was named after PM William Pitt (The Great Commoner)
San Jose Nightsnakes - Native to the area

I'll be posting the Group B Final Four in a couple of hours. But I wanted to get my names in before I create the polls for tomorrow. 

Philadelphia Gladiators - I wanted to take Philly in a new direction. It is a tough nickname which the fans will appreciate. It deviates from the Boxing / Patriotic theme. It honors the big Italian influence of the city. 

Pittsburgh Prowlers - going to alliteration. The logo could be of a panther or some other jungle cat. 

Baltimore Marauders - I used to work in Baltimore. There is a big nautical presence in Baltimore. The British Military described Baltimore as a 'den of pirates' as many of the most fearsome American privateer ships called Baltimore harbor home. I believe Marauders was one of the finalists that lost out to the Ravens. Plus pirate themed teams are just cool.  

Dallas Stetsons - what is more Texas than cowboy hats? Plus I like that it sounds old school. 

Kansas City Crows - I like the alteration. Plus the Crow is one of the smartest birds on earth. I always thought that the Crows would be a great name for a team. 

San Jose Redwoods - the Giant Redwood forest is just a short drive from San Jose. What is more fitting than the world's tallest trees for a basketball team?

What about them? They're in. They won.

The Redwoods need to be changed because we have a tall-like name in the AltBA already.
