a few weeks back, the local Philadelphia Phillies affiliated minor league baseball team announced that they are changing from the Reading Phillies to the Reading Fightin Phils. This is a team that has been around for 46 years with that name.
You tell me what animal is in this logo:
team back home rebranded after moving to a new rink....went from Storm to Walleye. :fp:
according to wikipedia, the Reading team has had the following names over the years:
Why the hatred on our MN Wild? You think Wild is dumber than Pelicans :fp: ???? Give me a break! The name might be iffy, but the logo is pretty sweet, I think at least. Don't mess with the State of Hockey! :nono:
The same thing has happened to us twice -
Lakers and the North Stars
Granted its not a GREAT name, but from this list what would you choose??
Freeze
Northern Lights
Blue Ox
White Bears
Voyageurs
Wild
Blue Oxen would have been fucking badass. But we don't need another NHL team with "Blue" in their name.
A question for everyone who thinks Pelicans is a bad name: why? What exactly makes it bad? Why is it worse than Knickerbockers or 76ers or Thunder or Suns? Or the fucking Raptors? RAPTORS? As in velociraptors? Really?
I agree, the Raptors are really dumb. They talk about keeping it in state, is Toronto know for its dinosaurs? Does it house the real Jurassic Park? Not a fan, but really once Bosh left no one really cares that they have a team. Maybe I am warming up to Pelicans. Actually, I love it. But, what if they decided to change their name to a co-ed rec team name - like Dirty Balls, or Off In The Woods, or Sofa King Awesome, or Pity, etc.....you get the hint.

I believe every softball league in America is required to have a team called Balls Deep.

I'm shocked that nobody on the team picked #69.
but if you've ever been hit by a buckeye thrown from a lawnmower, you wouldn't be mockin :P
But I'd take that rather than being shat upon by a pelican.
