Jer15 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I entered the contest for the new Boston National Lacrosse League team to name them.I entered the name "Blazers" based on pro. LAX's history in Boston.Today I got an e-mail from the team.Hello Jeremy,It has been a busy summer and as we gear up for our inaugural season, we have some exciting announcements.WE HAVE NAMED THE TEAM!!!Thank you for all of your suggestions. That?s right, we have finally decided on the name! We intend to announce the name, alongside the new logo, in September. We would like to thank everyone who submitted name suggestions to us, and would like to remind you of the name(s) you personally submitted, which were/was Blazers.We would like to take this opportunity to remind people of the process before we announce the name and more importantly, the winner of the ?Name the Team Contest?. If a number of people suggested the same name, we will choose one ultimate winner. If your name suggestion was our choice, we will put your name in a drawing with all the other people who recommended the same name and one of you will be randomly chosen from that group as the winner of the contest. The rest of the people who suggested the same name will be contacted and awarded another prize.Looks like we'll find out in September what the team's identity will be,just a little something I thought i'd share with the NLL fans out there.

powersurge Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I'd personally vote for Blazers too, but I'm sure that they went with something corny and overly pretentious like the 'Bay Dogs' or 'Bean Bandits' or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I received the same e-mail. My suggestions were:Boston Ballistix (Yes. I openly admit that I pandered to the NLL's recent penchant for replacing "cks" with "x".)

Jer15 Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 Honestly guys,It's can't be worse than my beloved Rock.What the eff? Who thinks "Rock" when they talk about Toronto?Brain, I like the name Boston Massacre, only cause at first look it almost looks like Boston, Massachusetts a little bit. And they could play up the old time army theme like the Patriots or the Revolution do.

T-nerb02 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I got the same e-mail and I suggested the "Boston Battalion". I love the name "Boston Massacre" because it sounds tough but a pro sports team would never name itself after a tragedy where innocent people died.

Waleslax Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 One of you should've gone with Boston Brands.Neal Adams logo, bitches!I voted for the Blazers (I have one of their old jerseys and I tried out for the team in college), and for the Boston Shamrocks.I also voted for the Boston Red Sox Suck, and Boston Yankees, but I'm not betting on them adopting either.

I love the name "Boston Massacre" because it sounds tough but a pro sports team would never name itself after a tragedy where innocent people died.Except they provoked the British soldiers by taunting them and hitting them with snowballs.

It's a nickname in the NLL already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
