The Hamilton Hammers

Back to Canada we go—more specifically to Tim Hortons Field in another surprisingly large Toronto-adjacent city. The Hammers were the most recent of the CBL's teams to receive a name change; I tried for a long time to make "Lumberjacks" work, but never arrived at an identity that I was happy with. The name is, perhaps, a little cornball (maybe a lot), so I was a bit resistant to adopt it, but ultimately decided that it fit in perfectly with Hamilton's identity as a major steel center. In my league, the Hammers are God-awful; perhaps they'll fare better in yours.
