CC97 Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 The fact is, the city's name is SURPRISE! How can you not go wrong? They oughta just go with the obvious and call their team the Surprise Parties! I think just "Surprise!" would work. You beat me (and RC I'm sure) to the punch. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted February 19, 2005 Author Share Posted February 19, 2005 Well, the website for the team is now stating that "Due to Popular Demand Five Names Have Been Added to the Vote!!"In other words, "The first five candidates were awful and the more we think about it the less we want to be saddled with a truly lousy identity!!"The ten candidates (new options in bold) and their percentages of the vote:Surprise Fightin' Falcons (48.1%)Surprise Desert Penguins (27.2%)Surprise SandStorm (11.6%)Surprise Sand Sharks (4.0%)Surprise Desert Stallions (2.8%)Surprise Sun Sox (2.4%)Surprise Desert Bats (1.3%)Surprise Scorchers (1.2%)Surprise Thunderbolts (0.9%)Surprise Geckos (0.4%) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackjack76 Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 That's funny. Last night, "SandStorm" had 48% of the vote.My bet is that "Sun Sox" wins. Just a hunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted February 20, 2005 Author Share Posted February 20, 2005 That's funny. Last night, "SandStorm" had 48% of the vote. Don't you mean "vote". I'm thinking that the odds of these identity packages being determined by popular vote is about 1,000,000 to 1... AGAINST!By the way... I agree with you: I like the sound of Surprise Sun Sox myself.

STL FANATIC Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I like either Desert Stallions or Fighting' Falcons.Mainly because you can drop the first word and you have decent nicknames.

Gary Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 i'm already going to get season tickets no matter what the name is. Although Sun Sox does have a nice ring to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted February 20, 2005 Author Share Posted February 20, 2005 Yeah... I'm supporting the league, as well. I've already ponied up for two Long Beach Armada Weekend Reserved Level ticket packages (25 of the team's 45 home games), and convinced my uncle in Coronado to purchase a pair of San Diego Surf Dawgs Half Season Lower Reserve Level ticket packages (25 of 45 games), as well.
