I know I'm completely biased but I think Elon has a pretty interesting name(s). Formerly Elon College Fighting Christians (and yes, it's completely a rip off of Notre Dame). Currently Elon University Phoenix.

I’ve always enjoyed the Arkansas Razorbacks, TCU Horned Frogs, and the Idaho Vandals

UTRGV Vaqueros, Jersey City University Gothic Knghts.

Scottsdale Community College Fighting Artichokes.

Anything original is good Vandals Bison Coyote Grizzly jackRabbits.
Murder Hornets would be my pick for a new one.

Just a few that I like:

CSUN Matadors
Idaho Vandals
GCU Antelopes
UTRGV Vaqueros
South Dakota St Jackrabbits
George Washington Colonials
SIU Salukis

You'd think that would be a local rivalry, but it's actually a 14hr drive.

Because penguins and gorillas are natural rivals?

Crimson Tide is one of the best

I'm an LSU alum, but cmon, how many teams have the name "Tigers"

Hurricanes is good, especially the Golden Hurricane

The Green Wave

Wolverines is good

Army Black Knights is better than Midshipmen (Sorry Navy). Why not Navy Destroyers?

I Really like these as Top nicknames:

1) Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns
2) Army Black Knights
3) Michigan Wolverines
4) Evansville Purple Aces
5) TCU Horned Frogs

Murder Hornets - good idea. Except hopefully we can wipe them out...but still a good name

I don't think anyone can touch Banana Slugs for pure lunacy. Great name though!
