How to Pick the Funniest Curling Team Names

October 21, 2025

(Because “The Stone Cold Curlers” isn’t going to pick itself.)

There’s something magical about hearing your curling team name announced across the ice. It’s that perfect mix of pride, humor, and “did we really call ourselves that?” Picking a great team name is practically a curling tradition — right up there with post-game beers and arguing whether it was really heavy or just “board weight, man.”

So how do you come up with a curling team name that’ll make the bonspiel crowd laugh and look amazing on a T-shirt? Let’s sweep through a few foolproof strategies.

1. Start with Curling Puns (Obviously)

Nothing says curling humor like a good pun. The sport practically begs for it. Try playing off common curling terms:

If it makes your team giggle during practice, you’re probably on the right track. And hey — we already have a few of these funny curling shirts in the shop if you want instant inspiration (and instant style).

2. Go Inside Joke or Club Culture

Every curling team has that moment. The wild takeout that worked once and never again. The skip who insists “it curled more than I thought.” Or that one teammate who always yells “Hurry!” three seconds too late.

Turn those memories into your team’s legacy.
Names like Just the Tip-In, Wrong Turn on the Sheet, or The Pebble Rebels capture the goofy chaos that makes curling great.

Your name should sound like something that could only come from your team — and ideally something that’ll still make you laugh when it’s printed across your back on a hoodie.

3. Lean Into Pop Culture (and Add Curling Flair)

Combine your favorite movie, TV show, or song with a curling twist:

Pop-culture mashups work because they’re instantly recognizable — plus, they make great designs. (And yes, we can totally help you get your team name on a shirt.)

4. Keep It Bonspiel-Friendly

Remember, not every name that kills in the locker room will land well when a volunteer has to announce it over the loudspeaker. Keep it funny, not filthy.

A touch of wit goes further than shock value — and the best names make people chuckle, not cringe. Think “clever drunk uncle,” not “college prank gone wrong.”

5. Make Sure It Looks Good on a Shirt

Let’s be real — your team name isn’t just for the scoreboard. It’s for hoodies, hats, mugs, and maybe that championship photo you’ll proudly hang in the club lounge.

Short names pop on merch. Long ones? They turn into small-print essays. If you can’t imagine shouting it after a win or wearing it across your chest, simplify it.

And when you’re ready, we’ve got you covered: browse our funny curling team merch or email us to design your custom team logo at curling@curlingisfun.com. Whether you want a punny classic or something totally original, we’ll make sure your team looks as good as it curls.

Bonus: Don’t Forget the Backstory

A name with a story always wins hearts. Tell people why you’re The Hack Attack or The Sheet Disturbers. Share the lore behind it on social media or during a bonspiel draw-to-the-button contest. Curling is as much about personality as precision — and your team name should show it.

Ready to Rock (and Laugh)?

A funny curling team name is more than words — it’s your team’s personality, humor, and history rolled into one. Whether you go punny, clever, or just plain ridiculous, pick something that’ll make you proud to wear it, yell it, and laugh about it later at the warm room bar.
