Hailing from the Orcish metropolis of New Gork City, the Kicks have a long and storied history at the Orc sport of Basketblood. However, "long and storied" and "actually successful" are not the same words as one might notice. After another abysmal season where the Kicks failed to make even a .100 winning percentage, the Kicks were kicked out of the OBA (Orc Basketblood Association), and found themselves horribly behind on rent, utilities, and worst of all tribute to the local warboss. However, while the sport of Basketblood was not kind to the Kicks, they figured there was always room for another Orcish BloodBowl team, and the profits to be made outside of the Badlands could more than cover their debts.
