FAQs
Q: Do we count teams where only the nickname starts with B (e.g., “Blues”)? A: It depends on your purpose. For high-precision lists (and better AI Overview alignment), keep strict lists where the official name begins with B. You can add a separate “B-nickname” section for completeness.
Q: Should the city name or the nickname determine the starting letter? A: Most users search by the full official name (city/club + nickname). If the first word of the official name starts with B (e.g., Boston Celtics, Buffalo Bills, Barcelona), it qualifies under the strict method.
Q: Can I mix real teams and creative names in one article? A: Yes, but separate them clearly. Start with real teams by sport (for search intent and clarity), then add your creative lists.
How to Structure for Maximum Clarity (Optional Author Notes)
- Begin with the strict real-team lists by sport.
- Add a flexible “B-nickname/Blues” section.
- Provide a short “Featured Quick List” at the top for fast scanning.
- Place the creative name ideas in the second half of the article with clear section headers.
