I think "The Stampede" is great.
I'm not sure who picked B.O.P. but it sucks. Makes me think of Ferdinand the Bull, with a little rose in his mouth.
The D deserves better.

I agree "Stampede' would be a MUCH better name. Bulls on Parade just bring into my head a vision of a gay pride parade down in Montrose.

Why would Bulls on parade remind you of gay pride parade? To me stampede just sounds to redneck.

My vote:

Taking Care of Business.

Reason:

This is the name of a famous rodeo bull, the one that killed Lane Frost. And it fits this D perfectly.

All I can think of when I hear that is that stupid Bachman-Turner Overdrive song...which is probably the point, but still. As a metal fan of sorts, I would recommend the "Wall of Death" as a nickname...but I doubt that would catch on.

They don't have a nick name, and it's a good point to make.

Oh, and I hate Bulls on Parade. I hate it. It sucks bigtime. It's the stupidest thing I've heard in years, and I hope that **** doesn't catch on.

God, I hate that dumbass nickname.

Too late. I seem to recall seeing DeMeco in a "Bulls on Parade" t-shirt a week or so ago.

YOU tell him his shirt is stupid.
I'll watch.
:D

I'll tell him. DeMeco is a nice man. He won't hit a fat old grey bearded guy, I'm sure. :)

Agree completely. If 99.9% of fans call them that I still never will. It's as dorky as it gets.
 
I think the reason so many hate the idea of Bulls On Parade is because they aren't thinking outside the box with the term "parade" and what it means. Let me demonstrate...

pa·rade/pəˈrād/
Noun:
A public procession, esp. one celebrating a special day or event and including marching bands and floats.

Verb:
Walk or march in public in a formal procession or in an ostentatious or attention-seeking way.

So you take it as a verb, instead of a noun, and now you have exactly what this defense did all year. They were on a march, or a mission if you will, to publicly show their vulgar or pretentious display(ostentatious) way of stomping a mud hole in you and walking it dry each and every play. That is what this defense did each and every week, for the most part, especially in the playoffs. They were Bulls on Parade....

Some of yall are comparing it to Gay Pride, which I think there is some tendencies that need to be addressed, or some Macy's Thanksgiving Parade (the Noun portion) but if you dig deeper into the meaning, it fits this defense...

It's not Bulls in a Parade, It's Bulls on Parade, or Bull's on march, a mission, a quest, to absolutely dominate you....

at least that's what I got out of it...

Because all good nicknames should need a 4 paragraph explanation that includes a vocabulary lesson to explain why they are in fact not bad nicknames.

Perhaps future editions of the T-shirt should print your post on the back to sway those who just don't seem to be warming up to it.
 
Bulls on Parade is an awesome name for our defense and I feel is a perfect fit.

To me it has the ring of a confident defense that has swagger and has fun because they know they cant be stopped.

Not to mention the music (RATM) is sick, and gets people including myself pumped up big time!

Hey, not my fault some folks vocabulary is limited...Guess that is the downside of the American Education System to think of "Gay Pride" of Macy's Day when you hear the word parade....

just need to think outside the box....

[/end thread]

Seriously. The Ravens have consistently been one of the best defenses for the past decade.

They did not gloss themselves before they did anything. NFL Films did not gloss them, sportswriters and fans did not gloss them, they just consistently come out and kick ass.

That question says it all, TK. Well done, sir.
 
Didn't the players that are actually on the Defense name it? Who are we to say no that's stupid, pick something else?

Bulls don't follow rules. They come, f-ck sh!t up, and go home!

Gee thanks...lol. I was wondering what that word meant.

Thing is, until your post I never even thought of the Gay Pride thing. Chalk up yet another reason it's a bad, dorky name no matter how you cut it. Sometimes an idea is just bad.

Listen to this.

Bulls On Parade

You see what I'm saying?

Let a name come to the team. It'll happen and if it doesn't we are one of many great defenses that didn't have a nickname and I can live with that just fine. Certainly much easier than having the one being shoved down our throats now.
 
Have I mentioned yet that I hate the name Bulls on Parade? Because if I haven't, I thought I might bring it up. :)

If I wasn't laughing so hard at this post, I'd neg rep you. But, it was funny as hell.

However, since you're a guy, don't EVER call me that again or I'll petition to have your man card taken away.
