Allentown Pianomen :P

Maybe something in regards to the steel industry (yes I know that's more up Bethlehem's alley.)

Boy, didn't see that reference coming.

Allentown Phillies sounds the best, though if you think about it, "Allentown Philadelphians" doesn't make a whole hell of a lot of sense, does it? Allentown Pennies?

According to all the info I have seen in the local media they will be using Lehigh Valley, not Allentown.

Dr. Kelso: My son is a big baseball fan. Not so much playing it, but more the designing and sewing of uniforms.

Tyler: That's neat.

Dr. Kelso: No, it's not.

I submitted:

- Railers (the railroad industry is huge in this area because it transports much of the steel and iron produced at Bethlehem Steel, the company that once provided the backbone of that community. Also it links the team to the Reading Phillies who also uses trains in their logo package)

- Bucks (there are a ton of deer in this area)

- Ironmen (again a tribute to the steel mills of the area and the overall character of the people)

Okay, trust me, "Railers" is not the best name. Always consult Urban Dictionary before topics like this.

true, I was thinking about that afterward. I just couldn't come up with a better railroad themed name. Also, I submitted Lehigh Valley Thunderhawks, named for the famous Dorney Park rollercoaster.

You know, it's hard to keep the Phillies down, but they won't be getting up today.

Because they missed the playoffs, you see.

And it's another "Allentown" reference, you see.

Lehigh Valley Black Diamonds

(named after the anthracite coal the Lehigh Valley Railroad used to carry)

Great name, but unlikely. It was already the name of the failed Atlantic League team that was supposed to play in the never-completed stadium near Easton. I don't think anyone will want any association with that fiasco.

Sounds like it should be a Diamondbacks affiliate, or a Twins affiliate. (Good song by the Replacements.)

Wasn't that originally a KISS song that The Replacements covered?

I kinda like Lehigh Valley Vulcans myself.

Vulcan

No, Vulcan from Roman mythology, ya dingus :P

Assuming that to be what he means :P , I like that one too. I also like Triplets (which I assume comes from the cities of Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton).

I already mentioned why I don't think Black Diamonds will happen, even though I like it. I also like Steam (despite my general distaste for singular/s-less plural names), but it may be similarly doomed because it is the name of a defunct minor league soccer team.

Speaker of defunct soccer teams, that may be the answer -- let's hear it for the 2nd incarnation of the Pennsylvania Stoners. Wikipedia -- Pennsylvania Stoners :P
