The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for May 24, 2024

The Hoovers

Rolled Up Newspapers doesn’t fit on the jerseys.

Fido’s suggestion “The Hydrants” seemed to get a leg up.

Team Bacon.

The Milk Bones might work!

“The Dog Catchers” didn’t improve the attendance the season after that.

“Walkies”

…and the crowd goes wild!

it worked for ian fleming

My German shepherd would go absolutely berserk when she heard thunder. Took her w/ me quail hunting once. A covey broke, I shot, and the shep disappeared. Found her hiding under my truck. Time to get a Brittany.

Try the Zoomies.

The Squirrels.

Paw Peetrol!

I’d go with THE PACK.

Lot of funny to unpack in this one. Delightful, especially if you read the lower text box in a “Ron Howard-Arrested Development” voice.

Add a half-time laser light show.

The Butt Sniffers will pack the house.

Smashers; Grabbers; Smash and Grabbers; Urban Surfers; Punchers; Blacks; Thugs; Rainbows; Lexers…

BACON!

“The Timberwolves” might work.

OK, C, here’s what we gotta do…

The Fireworks.

The old name SuperSonics was not much better in the dogs opinion

Our local baseball team got renamed “The Paddleheads”…a ridiculous nickname for moose. Almost as bad as the “Trash Pandas”. (Rocket City) or the “Sod Poodles”. (Amarillo).

I dunno. Human sports teams sometimes go for identities that are seen as intimidating to their opponents — Raiders, Panthers, Bears, Lions, Jaguars, Hurricanes, Devils, Bruins, Sabres, Lightning, Flames, Avalanche, Sharks, Predators, Kraken, Diamondbacks, Tigers, Pirates — so I’d expect that Thunder would be a source of pride for both the team and its fans.

AKAC, American Kennel Athletic Club.

Maybe if we join the PAC. :)

Just what he needs, in fact.

The Tennis Balls should do it.

I don’t get it…

Call them Here Boys, the dogs will come.

I think Thunder is a cool name! Because I love thunderstorms!

At the Vet’s game, attendance was neutered.

One year they went with the Squirrels, but everyone just got distracted.

The Postal Workers?

Obviously, the dog suggesting Clippers may not know that name is already taken.

The Washington Whizzers.

There’s always The Fireworks, The BackFires, The Car Alarms, The Sirens. Oh! And The Cones, and The Vets.

We just learned the only way we can get our dog to take a pill is to roll it in braunschweiger. Try naming it the Liverwurst.

the Butt Scootin Doggies

no matter what they decide, the fans are always gonna be hounding them about the name…
