BB61 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 The Atlantic League of Professional Baseball will be expanding to Ashburn, Loudon County, Virginia for the 2011 season, and the team is now having a "name-the-team" vote. And I know how much y'all LOVE name-the-team things. Your three choices are:-- Dulles Blue Heron-- Virginia Silver Stars-- Loudon Hounds-> Nix the first one for three reasons.1. Dulles is an Airport, not a town.2. We already have Bluefish and Blue Crabs.3. DULLES IS AN AIRPORT, NOT A TOWN!-> Silver Stars? WNBA wut?-> Loudon Hounds. Not great, but the best of the three.I'm not sure where the second new ALPB team would be. There was talk about a minor league ballpark in the new Meadowlands complex, but that apparently has never materialized. The only other location I've heard is Spencer, Henry County, Virginia, which would make it very geographically isolated even with this new NoVa team.Either that, or it's GO ROAD WARRIORS!

Gary Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 All bad choices, but Loudon Hounds sounds a little more professional than the first 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

random Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Dulles is accepted name for a couple zip codes in that area now, including where the ball park is gonna be. No one actually calls it that but developers insist on using it so I guess its here to stay. Although with that said, Blue Herons is one of the dumbest nicknames I've ever heard, and I have no idea what the hell silver stars have to do with anything, so i guess that leaves hounds. At least that one has some tenuous connection to the county's fox-hunting history and somewhat rhymes.(i grew up in Loudoun BTW) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedPenalty Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Hounds has great imagery behind it, kid friendly and the easiest to cartoonify for logo purposes. Blue Herons would be cool too, but not Dulles. Silver Stars = WNBA/Texasy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Not going to comment on the names cause theyre all pretty bad, but itll be nice to have a local rival to my Blue Crabs in the Atlantic League.

And if Islanders and Charles Wang ever get the lighthouse project going, theres suppose to be a second long island team to rival the long island ducks. theres also the bergen cliffhawks who were suppose to have a new stadium built with the xanadu complex in the medowlands.
