My team's name is GANG GREEN.  Used to be CRTS (boring!) with ugly
green shirts whence cometh the current name.  BTW, I've heard that
there was/is a Boston-area band called Gang Green.  No relation.

I used to be on a couple of math department intramural teams at the
local humongous university.  The men's team was the ADJOINTS which
evolved into LEIPZIG ROCKET BATTERY (obscure reason, write for details
or make up your own).

The mixed team was CO-ADJOINTS --> BECKY'S TEAM --> NO MORE BECKY.
Becky was on our team and also ran the intramural programs.  When we
were the co-adjoints we'd talk to others about our team and they'd say
"Oh, you're on Becky's team."  We finally changed our name.  When Becky
left the team...

A good name for a math-related softball team is BASE TEN.

A good name for a world championship baseball team is DETROIT TIGERS.
