OT: Hartford Baseball

[gtcam]

Hartford Colts.

My suggestion was the Colt 45s (not the Malt Liquor)

Said this in a different thread on this topic... Choppers and Whirly Birds are both pretty bad. If they wanted to go the helicopter route they should have used Blackhawks.

Choppers isn't too bad, even if the link to the state is a bit attenuated. Hartford Colts was a good suggestion, although I imagine the team (for a variety of legal and non-legal reasons) would be reluctant to have any kind of direct tie-in with a CT company, especially a gun manufacturer.

 

[Stainmaster]

Choppers just sounds the least bizarre. The others give me no confidence that the people who submitted them were sober.

 

[ElGuapo]

I submitted The Hartford Twainiacs.

I guess that was too smartish of an option.

 

[superjohn]

Hartford Huckleberries or the Hartford Solid Ones.

On the baseball board I stated that a fusion of the Colorado Rockies and Hartford should yield:

the Hartford Mile High Hookers

 

[Dove]

The list gets cut in half today.

should got hit with a flamethrower today.

 

[FrostyNuggets]

Hartford Ill Tempered Seabass

 

[Stainmaster]

Hartford Testiculos?

 

[ThetaZoo]

Can you think of a worse listing of possible names?

Hedgehogs
Honey Badgers
Hound Dogs
Blue Frogs
Choppers
Praying Mantis
River Hogs
Screech Owls
Whirlybirds
Yard Goats

I would hate to see what the other 5990 options were that had been discarded for these ten.

The Hartford Segarra's, a tribute to the mayor who brokered this deal and set in motion an economic recovery for Hartford.

In MVP Baseball 2005's Dynasty Mode, the default rosters featured one "Dick Smallenberg" on the Yankees' AA team. Would be perfect with this crew.

We are down to the hedgehogs, praying mantis, River hogs, whirlybirds and yard goats.

Let's go #TeamYardGoats

They are all stupid imo, but I have to admit that Yard Goats is so silly that it's growing on me.

 

[nomar]

One vote for Hedgehogs

I thought yard goats was the stupidest of the all the stupid names on the original list so I figured hey, if we are gonna go with a stupid name, let's go as stupid as possible. I think everyone voting for yard goats, except the person who submitted the name, probably felt the same.

How in the world does Praying Mantis make the cut? Im down with the Goat tho

We'll name the team after the nickname for the greatest American muscle car. Makes about as much sense for hartford as naming it after a railroad engine.

Don't make fun of Hartford's illustrious railroad history! (Other than the fact that we have a useless train station I didn't know we had a history in railroad.)

Connecticut Corsairs

Boom

 

[joober jones]

Screech Owls is perfect

 

[Hoophound]

Choppers is the best name I've heard. Is there any local significance to Yard Goats?
