Not worse than the RubberDucks, who apparently are also owned by the same guy.

Have you seen what the New Orleans Zephyrs name change is down to?

New Orleans Po'Boys
New Orleans Baby Cakes
New Orleans King Cakes
New Orleans Crawfish
New Orleans Night Owls
New Orleans Red Eyes
New Orleans Tailgators

Zephyrs is unique and while it was the name of the Chicago-Denver train back in the day, it also has new orleans ties.

I'll admit, I didn't know who the hell they were at first. When I saw the name Suns, I thought it could be a sports team, but saw the name change and thought it could be a seafood company. Thought that Suns would be a weird name for a seafood company. So maybe they were trying to say what they were selling in their name and represent the company a little better.

Then, I read the article and saw they were really a sports team and that is a horrible name for a sports team. They sound more like a seafood company now.

Those Jacksonville Suns fans are pissed. Like screaming about how embarrassed they are that their storied minor league franchise is now a joke.

But, as someone who lives not that far away in Atlanta, I've now heard of the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, whereas I didn't know the Suns existed until 5 minutes ago.

I'm guessing that is part of the point.

Followed the exact same train of thought.

I guess they didn't have a better way to get their name out and finally said "frick it, we'll do it."

Not bad for a ridiculous name. Has a good ring to it.
