Team names like the Biloxi Shuckers, Akron Rubber Ducks, Richmond Flying Squirrels, Hartford Yard Goats, etc are all off the wall but have local flavor. We get that. But these 7 names blow balls.

New Orleans Sinners more appropriate than Saints.
New Orleans Culture

For some reason I like Po'Boys...because of the history of Poor Boys maybe.

Not the worst out of the bunch, but pretty bad.

New Orleans King Cakes
New Orleans Po’boys
New Orleans Tailgators


These are pretty terrible.

Would be the worst team name ever. Across all sports, at all levels.

MiLB: Team takes Pelicans

NBA: Team buys back "Jazz" from Utah. Utah takes the Bobcats.


Or.....

Just leave the damn name "Zehyrs".

Or.....

Something related to Marlins since they are Miami's AAA club.

You all realize that a lot of the names in these leagues are like this? It's not really supposed to be serious.

Minor league names have a history of being quirky, sure, but they at least aren't completely ridiculous like Baby Cakes.

This would be an AWESOME name.

New Orleans Krewe or Krewe of New Orleans are both badass.

Night Owls sound like a typical MiLB franchise. Dont hate it. Not much connection though.

Po Boy is ok..

the rest sound like they polled 3rd graders and that is what the results were

Yeah, I bought a couple of hats from them in the past. I like the t-shirt designs and their Pelicans jerseys look so awesome...but too pricey ($195) and probably hot as frick seeing as how they're wool.

That is one sorry list. It's a farce list; something for a minor league Arena League team.
A ball has some funny names, but at least they are clever.
the Tailgators? Come on.
