Burmy Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Of course, most B-Mets fans are NOT happy that there isn't an option to keep the current name, so a petition's started up which has gained 366 sigs so far:https://www.change.org/p/binghamton-mets-add-binghamton-mets-as-an-option-for-the-name-the-team-poll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I'd go with Stud Muffins, because why not. Why not? Because professional athletes have to wear uniforms bearing that name. In minor league baseball, there are names that are fun, clever and different, like Mud Hens, Kernels, and even Blue Wahoos; then there are names that are ridiculous, over-the-top and embarrassing for the players, like Biscuits, Rubber Ducks and yes, Stud Muffins.

nmsuaggie Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 The El Paso Chihuahuas are good my to have a one night name change. They are going to use one of the names that was in the running when the Tucson Padres moved to El Paso. So on June 10 they will be the El Paso Desert Gators. Do you happen to know any other teams change their identity for one night? http://www.milb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20160603&content_id=181952490&fext=.jsp&vkey=pr_t4904 1 Quote Go Aggies!

Baseball does seem to do it a little better than hockey, but I dread when the NBA-D starts really jumping into the game.

Considering it was a name the team contest, I doubt they had logo mock-ups before settling on Chihuahuas. So, to slap together something simple for one game wasn't going to really have their A-game.
