Tailgators was one of the final 3. While still much worse than zephyrs it's at least not outright retarded

apparently "new orleans cajun crawfish" was an option. ironic being that nothing about new orleans is remotely cajun.

Saints .. I get, they were awarded the team on Nov 1
Jazz.. okay
Pelicans.. over done
Night .. dumb
Brass...Dumb
Voodoo... actually pretty cool. Bones was an awesome mascot.
Zephyrs.. not the best but far from the worst. I'm guessing it's tied to the roller coaster in the park?
Baby Cakes? really? just move the team already.

This is all part of a long con to drop attendance and revenue out at Zephyr Field (er... Baby Cake Park) in order to drum up momentum and support for a stadium closer to the heart of New Orleans.

Hahaha why am I getting downvoted? I didn't vote for the Baby Cakes. Don't shoot the messenger.

It's the name of the old Denver Zephyrs. They kept the name when they moved.

Zephyrs refers to a wind from the West. Ancient Greek word.

It was just coincidence that the name matched up with a well-known rollercoaster here.

im no baseball expert, but dont minor league teams usually have a history of having stupid names?

List of Triple-A Baseball Teams

the names get even more dumb when you move down to Double-A

Double-A Baseball Teams


ETA: so the zephyrs are the AAA affiliate of the Marlins. Apparently their AA affiliate is called the "Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp"
