Burmy Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 http://php.pnj.com/baseball/baseball.htmlThey can't be the Pelicans obviously, but this is a HUGE opportunity.I submitted Red Snappers (Pensacola is the red snapper capital of the world-and the red snapper's a very marketable fish, valuable for both food and sport. In addition, they'll be the Cincinnati Reds' affiliate, so this ties in well with the parent club while not just swiping its identity-kinda like the Lakeland Flying Tigers).What names would you send in?

The_Admiral Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I submitted Red SnappersGood luck with that one, my friend. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Actualy, MBurny's got a pretty good point...the place is the red snapper capital of the world. Of course, it's also known as "redneck riviera", too, so there's that little tidbit. Hell, I'd say chop the "Red" off, leave it at "Snappers", and go with that. But knowing the denizens of my hometown the way I do, they're probably going to try to force some other Navy- or Blue Angel-themed name out there.(Pondering whether or not I should jump in on this...) *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshawaggie Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Also, they are the affiliate of the Reds. Clever.I submit Pensacola La La La Lolas. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBGKon Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 You could always simplify the name and go with Redfish which is a common name for many of local fish including red snappers and red drums. I know that the following may be a creative name, takes advantage of the fish and the Naval Air history, but it screams minor league:Pensacola Flying Fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash61 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 It's not open to Canadians, but I was thinking maybe Red Barons.

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

kmccarthy27 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I submitted the Blue Angels, because that is the Naval Air Station that the Blue Angels are based in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tBBP Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I submitted the Blue Angels, because that is the Naval Air Station that the Blue Angels are based in.See what I mean?I think Snappers is where their money is. If the team execs are up to it, they could even commission Jason and Casey of Plan B Branding to come up with a nice identity package for them. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnythingChicago Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 How about Clownfish? It rolls off the tongue and could include an orange, white, and light blue colour scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTWillie Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I submitted Red Wings. Being a Reds affiliate and in the state of Florida, it fits to me. I've been working on a logo that'd fit as well.

Burmy Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 OK, let me point out a few things:They can't be the Red Wings (AAA Rochester) or the Snappers (A Beloit)...so "Red Snappers" is a distinguishing enough mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBGKon Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I would bet that anything Blue Angels related is off the table too for both US Navy trademark and to create a separate identity from the LA Angels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that hard to believe.Newly created minor league teams typically like to create an original identity. I know that there are a few duplicate names in MiLB, but those teams existed long before the identity craze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Pensacola Fighting Pens.The logo will be something like this except it'll have eyes and will be swinging a bat.My condolences to all the losing entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaxNoles Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 So what Southern League club is moving to Pensacola? Please tell me it's not the Reds current AA affiliate, the Carolina Mudcats. And I'm almost positive they'll end up with a name that has something to do with the Navy, but I really hope that doesn't happen.Pensacola Panhandlers?....But really just going with Reds but using a red snapper for the logo would work nicely.
