Originally I thought it was dumb, but I'll honestly I love it now.

It's Triple-A baseball. It's supposed to be dumb and gimmicky.

Rougarou or Spirit(s) would've been perfect for New Orleans.

I think it might be smart marketing in that the name is so ridiculously dumb and the mascot is so ugly that it has received tons of attention and people are buying the apparel because it's so bad that it's funny. No one gave a shite about the Zs before.


Bingo. I've seen more Baby Cakes apparel worn around the city since the rebrand than Z's gear ever

It's a strange name but if you look at all the other minor league team names, there are a lot of other names that are weirder than Baby Cakes.

GM and ownership hired a PR firm out of San Diego. They held a farce of a vote/contest and claimed this was the winner. Best buzz the club has had in 20 years.
No one seems to be going and the Marlins are a crap baseball organization.

That king cake baby is awesome. It's what the people in NOLA deserve, imo.

How often do they play in Pelicans uniforms? That should be the name of the team, Basketball team should change their name to Bigamist Mormons or something like that in an effort to force Utah to give back Jazz name, and then allow baseball team to become Pelicans.

I liked the Zephyrs name, but if they were going to go with this cake thing, I wish they would have used King Cakes instead. I love baseball but I just can't put my heart behind a team called Baby Cakes.
