| The SA Churches?
The SA Pubs?
The SA Malls Balls?
The SA Non-Convicts?
The SA Heaps Good Team?
I agree can usually a name would reflect the place the team represents, but sometimes that is a hard name to come up with.
And if that was the case, one example of the name not fitting the team - NSW Wolfpack? I don't recall ever seeing a wolf in NSW, nor there ever being any story or situation relating to one, thus making a wolf or wolfpack inherently reminiscent of NSW.
And weren't WA called the Warriors or something? (Sorry if it's wrong - can't remember)...
And pointing back home - The Adelaide 36ers in basketball... wtf do we have 36 of that is uniquely South Australian? >.<
My point is, that while a name that reflects the teams origin may be considered it's location, it could also be that the name reflects the teams origin in the sense of who they are, what they are trying to achieve, or what they use as inspiration.

You will find that Adelaide was founded in 1836

| FINALLY... thank you. I have asked loads of people and no one knows/knew why.
If that is the case, then I applaud it... albeit a little abstract.

| | Not really, its baskettball and the NAB has its own SIXERS, the Philadelphia 76'ers after the US Declaration of Independence, proclaimed in Philadelphia in 1776. Way back in my Qld days when we searching for a nickname I suggested the 59'ers, similar to San Francisco, 1859 the year QLD broke away from NSW as an independent colony. I probably would have got greater support if it had happened 10 years later.  |

| | Some good names there....hahaha. Anyway good luck to the state team in April. Hopefully they can recapture the title - seeing we havent had it since 1996! Speaking of which, do we have good numbers out at training? I know that traditionally we have had very poor state training attendance. Are there any fund raisers going for the side? Can't be involved at the moment but happy to buy raffle tickets or attend a function etc to support the side.
