Why does nola have the lamest team names?

>minor league insider here,
These are really pissing me off. 90% of these name-the-team contests come up with something stupid, and the kicker is that the same company/branding group is behind most of them. Hartford now has the Yard Goats. Binghamton Mets are now the Binghamton Rumble Ponies. Jacksonville suns are now the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp. Staten Island Yankees are about to be the Staten Island Pizza Rats. I know that the minor league team in Lynchburg VA tried something similar, but the fan vote for the old mascot was so overwhelming that they gave up.
Brandon Anderson
Should note, all of those are new within the past year or for next season. If you notice, most of the "new team" branding logos and colors are similar looking. See: the new look of the Norfolk Tides. It's not a coincidence. And I'm getting real fuckin mad.
Brody Stewart
jumbo shrimp is a good name for a baseball team.

These names are amazing though

the response in NOLA is a resounding WTF. some faggot from new york or new jersey or something bought the team a year ago and hired a firm from california to b come up with the fucking baby cakes. zephyr came with the team when they moved from denver, but at least that name has a local connection too (a gigantic rollercoaster that used to be on the lakefront)
Lucas Wilson
there was literally nothing fucking wrong with Zephyrs, I'm incredibly mad
Fuck this owner, fuck this team, fuck that stupid King Cake baby mascot, just fold the team at this point
Thomas Collins

No thanks. Why on earth would this city have a baseball team?

Why are they such dicks?
Matthew Wilson
Seriously, they could have name the team "The Gay Homosexual Fairy Penis Enthusiasts" and it would sound less gay than "Timber Jockeys" and "Stud Muffins".

Laughing Baby logo has meme potential

Not once have I ever heard of anyone tailgating for any other sport other than football.

LSU Baseball is surprisingly popular and pretty successful
Sebastian Harris
IIRC they actually used to play in the Superdome
Lincoln Cooper
the old baseball Pelicans used to in their final years, back when NOLA was actually doing well enough to try to get an MLB team
Elijah Foster
God I would hope so. Thanksgiving in New Orleans is just about as hot as my area during the summer. No wonder they have so many crazies down there
Xavier Nelson
>crawfish
>po' boys

Matthew Diaz

Nathan Wright

The Saints is probably the best expansion name the NFL's ever come up with.
Daniel Johnson
