Brian in Boston Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 The minor-league baseball franchise formerly known as the Modeto A's has narrowed down the possibilities for a new team identity. The five candidates are:Modesto Derailers...Modesto Dusters...Modesto Steel...Modesto Strike...... and my personal favorite, the Modesto Nuts.

Brick Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 What was wrong with Stompers? It's a wine-growing area, as in stomping grapes. The Athletics elephant mascot is called Stomper. That would have been my pick for a nickname. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackjack76 Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Too bad Visalia already has the angry acorn logo, or else that would have been great for "Nuts." Honestly, those names are horrid. I imagine Studio Simon is developing (he does a majority of MiLB logos). Cannot imagine what "Steel" will look like. Should be a picture of Zoolander's "Steel" look. That'd be funny....

CDunn Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 That is seriously the worst ad campaign in the world. If I had one free stabbing, I'd use it on the guy who came up with that campaign, but line him up next to Avril Lavigne and use something really long. Okay, maybe a bit much. But, you can't be punk and spell skater with an 8, and you can't have an ad campaign based soley on flipping through the E and N sections of the dictionary and picking random words. I guess I have to pick me up a Modesto A's cap because those logos were sweet.The new names are terrible. Is Modesto Nuts really an option? Because the Visalia Oaks use an acorn/nut like logo and they're in California too(which I just realized blackjack pointed out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Modesto Nuts really an option? Well, whichever advertising agency took the Empire Nut Company's money would tell you that you can have an advertising campaign based solely on flipping through the E and N entries in the dictionary. In fact, this thread is a testament to the fact that the campaign exists. Now, whether or not it's a successful or appealing campaign... that's open to debate.As for the Modesto Nuts identity... yes, it really is an option.

JamesCraven Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 If they name the team the Modesto Nuts, will they rename the home field in Modesto "The Asylum?" Nuts is another way of saying mentally unkempt if you know what I mean. "I better go take a long walk off a short pier or something."Some people on this bolard have told me to do just that.My "Ron Mexico" alias is "Jon Tobago".
