I would have went with the Nightingales, (and the) Machines, or Hendersons.

 

Oh, I was right there with you, man...I even mocked up a couple of hats.

 

 

I can live with that one, it is silliness, but as we can see from the others it could be much worse.

 

I think it's bound to be the Y'alls...especially since they've had this fella walking around the games for the last 5 years or so.

 

Minor League Baseball names are supposed to be dumb.

 

Just off the top of my head, I can think of the following (I used to be obsessed with getting new MiLB hats, they're hilarious and great):

 

Montgomery Biscuits

Traverse City Pit Spitters

Fond-du-Lac Dock Spiders

 

I've got hats from several teams, myself:

 

Savannah Sand Gnats

Brevard County Manatees

Frisco Rough Riders

Kannapolis Cannon Ballers

Hillsboro Hops

The Florida State league includes ...

 

Fort Myers Mighty Mussels

Florida Fire Dogs

Louisville's alternates each year are pretty cool.

 

Mint Juleps

Mashers

Murcielagos De Louisville

What's better than the Lehigh Valley IronPigs?

The Go-Goettas has a certain, er ... grisly charm.

 

My old school, "you kids get offa my lawn" choice -

Blue Sox, after the Covington Federal League team in the 1910's.

 

My current, other team faves:

Akron Rubber Ducks

Albuquerque Isotopes

I hate that they are changing the name, I think it is a mistake.

 

The name choices are just plain stupid. This is nothing but a publicity stunt and money grab, imo.

In all seriousness, the Florence Fat Donkeys (except another word for donkey) would be better than those options listed above. Have an overweight donkey as the mascot. You'd sell all kinds of merchandise.

At first I thought "no way they're going to choose one of these idiotic names." But then stupidity seems to reign these days so I should not be surprised.

Y'alls is ok.

 

My second choice would Go-Goettas.

After reading posts on social media I figured they dropped the idea. That wouldn't generate money though.

It looks like it is the Y'alls. I do like the color scheme. Interesting choice for sure.
