I've done something like this with my own little tabletop baseball dice game. I have two leagues of theme-teams in which the players are assigned based on a common theme linking them. For instance, my Ft. Apache Dukes are a team of John Wayne characters from his films. The Utopia Philosophes —famous philosophers. The Kitty Hawk Aeros are all aviation pioneers, presently from around the dawn of powered flight (I've included Otto Lillienthal in outfield even though he exclusively experimented with gliders in the late 19th century). I also have the Respublica Senators who are, as you'd guess, a team of famous senators in history; including three Romans as well as two members of the Athenian senate from the time of the Pelopponesian War.

You can't miss by organising EF teams based on handpicked themes. You'll wind up with a rather interesting league to say the least.
