Minor League Baseball Team Names - Pt. 1

Recommended Posts

I've been working on an eight-team league of Minor League baseball teams. I don't have logos yet because I'm still trying to land on the team names. I wanted to get some community feedback on my ideas.

The eight cities (and their Major League affiliates) are:

Ames, IA : Kansas City Royals

Duluth, MN : Minnesota Twins

Toledo, OH : Detroit Tigers

Wichita, KS : Chicago White Sox

Elgin, IL : Cincinnati Reds

Fayetteville, AR : St. Louis Cardinals

Grand Rapids, MI : Milwaukee Brewers

Madison, WI : Chicago Cubs

I wanted to get some community feedback on my ideas. I'll start with the first 3 teams I need names for, then modify the topic when I have enough responses.

I live 15 minutes from Elgin, and I don't know of any somewhat large baseball field in the city.

I live 0 minutes from Elgin, and it's a fictional league, so I just picked some cities I wanted to use, and didn't let existing stadiums dictate which ones. Elgin works fine for a minor league city. It's a lot bigger than Geneva, which didn't have a baseball field until the Kane Co. Cougars moved to town.

Sorry, I see now

No worries :) I just hope to keep the focus on the team names, and not the cities.

Madison Reds. Play up the joke of Madison being a communist city in the heart of Wisconsin.

That's gold. I really wanted to make the Elgin, IL affiliate the Fox Valley Reds (mascot would be a red fox.) Now I'm torn.

UPDATE:

Fayetteville, Grand Rapids, and Madison look like they're set, so I updated the poll with the Duluth, Toledo, and Wichita options.

EDIT:

Looks like it doesn't let you vote in the poll if you've already voted, even if the questions are different. I'll have to kill this topic and start a new one.
