When Sydney got a major junior team back in the late 1990's I totally wanted them to be called the Sydney Tar Ponds instead of the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles.
Blinky the 3-Eyed Fish for a mascot
Glow in the dark jerseys
That said, I do think the name Rippers is in poor taste. Like Charlestown having a team called the Mansons, or Jefferson having the Dahmers.
