The Answers
1. Rangers, and St Mirren, Hibernian is named after Ireland, Raith is the name for a area around Kirkaldy, Clyde is the name of the river, Albion is a name for Britain, so Albion Rovers as well. Then again St Mirren, were kind of named after a church in Paisley, so maybe it is just one.
2 Arsenal,
3 Woolwich Arsenal, was a location they were named after, but that does not stand out in terms of looking at the modern generic Arsenal name.
4 None are official names, Aberdeen of course play in Aberdeen, and all the other names, are added so that people in other countries can know where they come from, but nobody complains, which is good,
5 Each have the nickname, the Dons,
6, Queen Park won the Scottish Cup, Queens Park Rangers won the League Cup, and Gap Queens Park, from Wrexham, finished bottom of Wales's 2nd tier, league, the regionalised North Wales part that season.
7 Everton United and Sam Mendes,
8, It is the name of one of the teams,
9 Each of these teams, have a major team named after them in the top tier of their leagues in recent 2020 history,
10 Their major football teams have the name Saint in their title, or are nicknamed as such, Santos actually is a Brazilian version of that name, the Saints, and Sao Paulo,,
11 Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC,
12 Washington Whips,
13, Athletic, with 4,
14 United, Thistle and Rovers all seem to get 4, but Athletic jumps to 5,
15 They all seem to be people's names, if you hear them, A American sports team, the Tamps Bay Rays, would also gets in.
16 They are all parts of the body in their name. Also they sound like it when said. Unlike Forfar fARMington, BreCHIN City, and Auchinleck Talbot.,
17. So they are famous as rugby, then football, then tennis names, not croquet, or the other way around for the first two. The 2nd and 3rd last was due to be the name of Kilmarnock Athletic a football club who were rivals to Kilmarnock FC, in the late 19th Century, so notable to be mentioned in their histories even to now. So it had a cricket in their name. I thought I would find a cricket team who played in the Scottish cup but did not. Even Bon Accord are debatable in terms of whether the team who lost 36 nil to Arbroath were actually a cricket team. Tennis Borussia is a football team as well, I found it while researching Aberdeen's European Super Cup opponent's players. Sheffield United's Brammall Lane had cricket at their ground in the 1900s, and I think earlier. Westminster Dog Show, is the US version of Crufts, and the Badminton horse show is a horse event, nothing to do with anything other than that. Not the tennis like sport. Also Flamengo, are a top Brazilian team, founded as a boating then dabbling in cricket club. Also in the first Carioca championship, of football, in 1906, a top tournament in 20th Century Brazil, Rio Cricket from Niteroi, competed. So of the 6 teams in it, Botafogo and Rio Cricket had other ports in name, which Bangu Atletico,and Paissandu Atletico, were labelled Athletic clubs in later eras, a club called Football and Athletic entered, only Fluminense were called just a football team. Flamengo only competed from 1913. And Vasco in the 20s, Also Passandu were labeled a cricket club when founded in 1906 as well
Plus the football team of Londrina, was founded as Londrina Futebol e Regatas in the 1950s but is now Londrina Esporte Clube, and Rio state had Volta Redonda was Clube de Regatas do Flamengo of Volta Redonda, which dicthed the rowing bit, after a merger. and near Brasilia there was a team called Clube de Regatas Guará, all these Brazilian teams did quite well. and were professional. Also Mangueira, had a sports team as well, which competed in early titles and lost 20 something nil to Botafogo, again not called a footy team. A English Brazilian founded Flum, and Scottish Irish guy founded Bangu., There was a also a Villa Isabel football team, in the 1920s,
18 They are all kind of terms connected electricity,
19, They are all methods of transport,
20 They are the names of wildlife.
21 They are all kinds of meat in their name. in a way, if you are just listening, not spelling. Also Eintracht Frankfurt and Rapid and First Vienna, as of being names of hot dogs could be in it, and I mean Wienner and Frankfurter but not exactly,
22 Bun, Mint, Cake, Smokey, Pie, larger, Bridie, All food and drink stuffs. The nickname of Dundee United is also the Tangerines, but I could not shoe horn that into the question.
23 Spartak Moscow are named after Spartacus a Roman hero, Also Pompey was a Roman general. whereas the others are Greek ancient totems,
24 The last is a TV show, the other's are football teams,
25 Preston North End, Northwich Victoria, and North Ferriby United would also do, and a team I had only heard of recently Dundee North End. Plus of course Northampton Town FC,
26 All the names have military associations.
27 Raith Rovers as in Rath. You could even say Rath Rovers as an error or miss spelling.
