In a hypothetical scenario, we asked ChatGPT, OpenAI’s impressive language model, to take control of every sports team in North America, both professional and collegiate. In a parallel universe, where artificial intelligence is given the reins to manage our beloved teams, we envisioned a bold experiment. Influenced by the erratic playbook of Elon Musk’s rebranding of “Twitter” to “X”, the objective was to give these teams a completely new identity – yes, you heard it right, a full-scale, unapologetic rebranding.
Before we delve into these radical changes, let’s be clear: we’re not rooted in logic or tradition here. Instead, we’ve plunged into a pool of eccentricity and amusement. This isn’t a quest to uphold the teams’ historic legacies or city pride. It’s about introducing a twist of the absurd that’s so unconventional, it’s entertaining.
From reimagining the Dallas Cowboys as the ‘Dallas Donuts’ to transforming the Boston Celtics into the ‘Boston Beavers,’ we’re flipping the script of North American sports, one mascot at a time.
We asked ChatGPT to channel its inner Elon Musk and rebrand the top sports teams in North America. ChatGPT changed the names, mascots, jerseys, and even stadiums of the top teams. Below are the new, rebranded top NFL, NBA, and NHL teams across the continent.

TSD Commentary
While some of these rebrands may be a little kooky, the jerseys seem to have caused quite the stir in the TSD offices. Lead Sports Editor Nick Raffoul commented, “Despite the bewildering rebranding decisions, I must concede, the jerseys are an aesthetic revelation.
“There’s an unexpected charm in the audacious colors and design elements that are delightful, if not traditional. As baffling as it is to cheer for a team named ‘Tacos’ or ‘Donuts,’ there’s a certain novelty that can’t be denied.
“If nothing else, these eye-catching new threads would bring an unanticipated flair to the games. So, hats off to the design teams, and here’s to hoping the teams can live up to their hypothetical sartorial brilliance on the field, court, and ice.”
