sky1324 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I like the Strikes name suggested, but I decided to go with a different one for my own submission. I chose "Planetarians", or people who work at planetariums, because Lynn Planetarium is the only one in the Charlotte area and its uniqueness and educational/merchandising opportunities are make it something Gastonia could really own. 1 Quote the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian in Boston Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I try to judge singular nicknames on a case-by-case basis. Given that Gastonia was the hometown of the real-life ballplayer who lent his name to Kevin Costner's character in the quintessential minor league baseball film Bull Durham, I'd be willing to see such a moniker employed here. I say you dub the new Atlantic League team the Gastonia Crash after local hero Lawrence "Crash" Davis. Center the team's logo package around depictions of a retro-styled ballplayer mascot meant to be Davis: Crash at bat... Crash taking a swing... Crash running the bases... Crash sliding into home plate... Crash turning a play at second base (his primary position over three MLB and seven MiLB seasons). For the team's inaugural Opening Day, see if you can't get Costner and Bull Durham writer-director Ron Shelton out to the new ballpark to participate in pre-game ceremonies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burmy Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Gastonia Grunts is my suggestion...honors the regular factory workers, provides a unique alliterative name (with plenty of logo possibilities), and gives the fans a unique cheer to make at the games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I think of "Grunts" it implies military to me, not factory workers. Infantry, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Snappers’ issued a call for ideas on their website and are soliciting input through August 18. Read More... No reason to change the name. Even after all this time, the logos don't seem outdated. I'd be for updating the logos if they want, but an entire change isn't necessary. Like someone else said, if anything, drop the gold from the color scheme. However, to me, their uniforms have always been pretty bland. If they want to get a new look that way, I'd be all for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilSox Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 It's upsetting to know they're willing to squander away 25 years of cache with a Snappers name that has held up amazingly well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
