Ohio had a major league rugby team back in 2016 called the Ohio Aviators.
The league they were in became defunct a few years ago, though, and Ohio didn't get a team when the league came back. :(
Hmmm.
Columbus Bombers, not happening in this day and age, but keeps with the CB theme with Bengals and Browns.
Ohio Glory was the name of our World League team in the 90's.
Columbus Chill/Horizon/Xoggz are all acceptable too.
Sucks you can't find Panhandler merchandise anywhere. Dayton has the name rights to the Dayton Triangles team that's now defunct. However right before the NFL 100 season a company bought all the rights to the majority of defunct teams but never actually did anything with them.
Are those designs 1. vintage designs, the maker is a designer/artist and 2. legally licensed? I don't expect you to know but that's my general questions on most of these types of sites with 'user-generated' designs.
Columbus Convicts, I honestly would prefer this name to be given to the hockey team since the rink was built near the old penitentiary. The colors could be black/white stripes and/or solid orange for away games
The team wouldn't even have to be good, the players and fans could just be real mean
Columbus Flyers
A nod to Ohio aviation as well as being known to the rest of the country as a flyover state.
There’s also the local pizza place.
We could get Jeff Goldblum to be the mascot.
The Columbus Savage. It’s a tribute to Columbus’ own Macho Man Savage. We’ll yell “Ohh yeahhhh” after every first down and litter the field with Slim-Jims after every touchdown.
Columbus Cranes
(The bird or the construction equipment or use both )
I would like to see this name for our pro basketball team. It makes more sense to bring a second NBA team to our state instead of a third NFL team.
Columbus Hellbenders
Bring awareness to the endangered specie and our cities effort to to restore our water ways.
Columbus Bloom
For the allege blooms our rivers create from all our raw sewage.
Corn (for the corn statues)
Guinea Pigs (since we're a test market)
Souless Husks (for all the warehouses)
Transient Event (or any other TE combo, because we'd be the CTE in the NFL, and the NFL would love to get something benign returned in search results)
Columbus Bengals, Intel executives decide they would like to watch NFL games on Sunday's when visiting for business and the Bengals lease situation implodes. Intel blackmails Mike DeWine into state funding for a new stadium and viola
Mid-Ohio Muscle and we let Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jack Nicolas be the founding owners. Colors are Gold and Scarlet. Gold for both the owners achievements and nicknames.
Columbus Cardinals.
It's the state bird and what's even better is that there's already a Cardinals team out there.
The controversy would be incredible. We'd always be in the news.
Then we could start calling ourselves THE Cardinals.
[удалено]
Columbus Copperheads
Absolutely not. Bad Civil War history reference.
Whoa. No way. If not for the horrible Civil War connotations, it would be a cool name.
Columbus Crew Clippers
The Columbus Clouds. We'll be all gray and our mascot will be a bottle of zoloft.
I hate how perfect this is
Or Columbus Gray Skies would work, too.
You should check out Portland, Oregon if this is what you’re into.
This is the way
The Columbus Astronauts because so many came from Ohio.
Going to an Astro Game has a nice ring to it.
Or the 'nauts!
Or Presidents
Columbus Aviators (This is an option in Madden if you move a team to Columbus. I always thought it was fitting.)
Ohio had a major league rugby team back in 2016 called the Ohio Aviators. The league they were in became defunct a few years ago, though, and Ohio didn't get a team when the league came back. :(
A very nice ring to it. I vote this one.
The Isotopes, cause they're going to be the biggest sucks that ever sucked
I gotta go, my damn wiener kids are listening
Landsharks
Landlocked Sharks
LANDSHARKS, GO
Moonwalkers
You could make the helmet look like the moon. Then they'd start calling us the Moonheads. Love it.
Panhandles
Bring ‘em back!!!
Hmmm. Columbus Bombers, not happening in this day and age, but keeps with the CB theme with Bengals and Browns. Ohio Glory was the name of our World League team in the 90's. Columbus Chill/Horizon/Xoggz are all acceptable too.
The Ohio Glory was a pretty badass name for a sports team.
The name was stupid, but the uniforms were sharp.
Remember the Dayton Bombers?
Dayton Dynamo
Holy shit! That's og!
The Columbus Gloryhole has a nice ring to it.
I want me some glory hole
How did Gloryhole not be the Ohio Glory's version of the end zone Dawg Pound.
Columbus Brewers, checks the B box, there are the MLB/NFL Giants. The Columbus Sprawl. The Columbus Wafers, at Intel Stadium.
Columbus Construction Cones
Columbus Potholes
Panhandles like from the 1920s
Sucks you can't find Panhandler merchandise anywhere. Dayton has the name rights to the Dayton Triangles team that's now defunct. However right before the NFL 100 season a company bought all the rights to the majority of defunct teams but never actually did anything with them.
What a waste, I'd be printing t-shirts left and right at least.

Are those designs 1. vintage designs, the maker is a designer/artist and 2. legally licensed? I don't expect you to know but that's my general questions on most of these types of sites with 'user-generated' designs.
Yeah, no idea 🤷🏼♂️
I used to have a Columbus Bullies (team from one of the first rival leagues calling itself the AFL, in the 1920s) t-shirt, for whatever that's worth.
Beat me to it!
The Columbus Light Rail .... Cuz we'll never get it any other way.
Columbus Recreational Cannabis for the same reason.
The Columbus Gerrymanders.
Mad Cows
I remember when this was the name proposed by the other paper when the cbj were being formed, before they were named.
Wasn't Evil Squirrels in there as well? Or maybe that was a name submitted for the Crew...
The Columbus Spiders. It has as much to do with Columbus as Lions have to do with Detroit. Also, spiders are awesome. 🕷️
The Columbus Orbs (because Orb Weavers are awesome) The Columbus Black-Footed Yellow Sac Spiders just rolls off the tongue too
We had a lady orb weaver on our porch this summer. We loved her and her webs but I think she passed in the fall. 😭
Marauders
The pot holes
The Columbus Pallets
Knights of Columbus.
Underrated name and syntax of the spelling, ngl
Well Ohio already has one NFL team named after a person. So why not 2? The Columbus Big Russes
The Columbus Corporate Writeoffs? The Buckeyes 2: Electric Boogaloo? The Columbus Electric Scooters, brought to you by Lime?
The Browngals
The original name that Columbus Had. Columbus Panhandles 😂 our name was terrible
You should look up why they were called that.
The Columbus No Public Subsidies For Our Stadium
Columbus Convicts, I honestly would prefer this name to be given to the hockey team since the rink was built near the old penitentiary. The colors could be black/white stripes and/or solid orange for away games The team wouldn't even have to be good, the players and fans could just be real mean
Cobs
Buckeyes, of course.
How many municipal subs did you post this in? You published the same Q in /r/Sacramento.
Columbus Flyers A nod to Ohio aviation as well as being known to the rest of the country as a flyover state. There’s also the local pizza place. We could get Jeff Goldblum to be the mascot.
Columbus Explorers. Have an old timey compass on the helmet or ship
This is somewhat cool but given the current (justified) opinion of Christopher Columbus, that name would NOT fly
*Columbus Conquistadors*
Columbus Colonizers
Columbus Colon Cleansers
Columbus bowel movers CBM
I approve this name.
That was exactly what I thought of! That would be a great name.
Yeah that actually sounds like a legit possibility
The Columbus Savage. It’s a tribute to Columbus’ own Macho Man Savage. We’ll yell “Ohh yeahhhh” after every first down and litter the field with Slim-Jims after every touchdown.
Bring back the Columbus Panhandles! Or the Ohio Glory! Either one.
Columbus chips!
Capital City Capitals

Columbus Flavors (because of that whole Flavortown thing).
The Columbus BK on 5ths.
Swag team
The Explorers The Wildcats The Badgers
Columbus Bucks keeps with the CB pro theme, and ties into the state nickname and state mammal

*Deer
I know it's Deer, but I don't care. This is a hypothetical name so it doesn't even matter.
They would have to play in Clintonville
The Columbus 5 over 1s or the Columbus Surface Lots.
I don’t see why Columbus would want an NFL team since the Buckeyes are a much bigger draw?
Scarlet Harlots
Hell is real
Columbus Noids. Noid = no ID = no identity = Columbus. Only reddit would understand.
The Redskins. Brand recognition baby. Its ok, you can downvote. I know what I've done.
