what's wrong w/ Zephyrs? also Baby Cakes is straight up queer and that'll be the one that wins in the name of diversity.

Just king cakes would be better. Or just Kings.

Why not Hurricanes, or Vodoo, or gators or something normal?


Those are terrible.

Every time that I see that list, I keep looking for something that ties it to The Onion. If they end up choosing Baby Cakes, does that mean that we'll see this monstrosity at the ball park?


At least Las Vegas produced something halfway unique and clever:


Also, I'd imagine that they'll have to change the stadium name as well. Unless someone's buying naming rights, what are they going to do with that? Hell, if you're going all out to be this goofy...just change the name to the Neutrals. Then you can call the park the Neutral Grounds.

Overall they are terrible. Po'boys is the one I would pick I guess. That's like saying its the least smelly turd I shat this week.

All suck but if forced to pick between those, I would go with Night Owls.

Those are all bad, real bad.

I submitted the name Baratarians. I'm not mad mine didn't make the cut, I'm mad they picked such terrible names.

New Orleans Brass would awesome. And it would have more of a connection to the area than babycakes and nightowls.


And btw Cajun Crawfish is just redundant.

Not one of those is good. Night Owls is the most tolerable. Keep it the Zephyrs.

Nothing. But, the non-local ownership doesn't realize that "Zephyrs" is a New Orleans significant name because of the old roller coaster. Their press release announcing the name change contest was unbelievably ignorant.
