I didn't really think skeeters needed to be changed at all but I don't hate the new name or logo either.

can't wait to see what the unis and hats look like.

I’ve seen this list floating around as "official," as in, the team would most certainly have one of these names.

olympique, gateway and heritage are the best options.

The data was based on the 2018 season, when the Sod Poodles were still the Missions. 

ahh, gotcha. that makes sense.

kind of mildly surprised the sod poodles aren't on the list. but then again they are a first year team.

other than the name...*sigh* these logos and colours are pretty solid.

definitely might have to get me a hat, at the very least.

I had the same thing happened to me, as well. More so via text than a Facebook message. Nonetheless, the logos are family friendly, and I can live with "Sod Dogs" more so than "Sod Poodles."

I think sod dogs is definitely a great compromise between a unique but pretty terrible name in sod poodles and an infinitely better prairie dogs. they get to name them after the animal and have we have our own unique/original moniker to call our own. plus I bet most people probably would have just ended up calling them "soddies" or "dogs" or "sods" or other variations anyway.

Nice to know there are other Bomb City friends on here!

I live in amarillo too. I mostly just read the threads here though.

if those ^ are indeed some of the logos I have to say I kind of like 'em. it's not as bad as it could have been I guess. colours are just about what I would have given them as well. hopefully the unis are nice.

mlb: texas rangers and colorado rockies

and to a lesser extent: houston astros and san diego padres (parent club of our AA club here in amarillo)

nba: dallas mavericks and charlotte hornets

nfl: carolina panthers and houston texans

nhl: dallas stars, carolina hurricanes and colorado avalanche

mls: houston dynamo and colorado rapids

ncaa: (d-I) north carolina tar heels, new mexico lobos, texas tech red raiders, uc santa barbara gauchos. (d-II) west texas a&m buffaloes.

milb: (AAA) albuquerque istotopes

local:

nahl: amarillo bulls

texas league: amarillo tba (name has yet to be announced)

reasons? I was born in north carolina, have lived most of my life in texas, have ties to new mexico and denver is close enough to where I live that a lot of people root for denver teams here. plus I've been to a few rox and avs games and have always more or less supported those teams since they began.
