The G-Braves are holding a Name the Team contest.

quote:


Preparing for their 10th season in the International League, the Gwinnett Braves are seeking a new identity. The "Braves" moniker - loaded with tradition and respected across baseball - has served the team well since 2009, but the team is seeking a new name that the citizens of Gwinnett County can instantly recognize and call their own. We need your help to create a new team name that will serve the Gwinnett baseball club for 2018 and beyond.


I was under the impression that one of the reasons that the organization wanted all of the minor league clubs under organizational control was so they would all run under the Braves branding.

I guess that leaves out Gwinnett Sprawl as well.

I am halfway expecting something like the Gwinnett Groundhogs, as they already have the groundhog mascot, and the official state groundhog lives in Lilburn.

Their excuse is people are showing up to real Braves games with Gwinnett tickets and vice versa.

I think they are about a year late on capitalizing on this one.

We have Ronald Reagan Parkway and Jimmy Carter Blvd. They could be the Gwinnett Presidents. Mascot could be someone dressed up as whoever the current occupant of the WH is.

I'm not sure I understand.....what is wrong with the Gwinnett Braves?

The Suns were a great name for Jacksonville...they did this stupid shite and ended up the Jumbo Shrimp...careful what you seek out from the fans.

Dumbass "fans" are confusing the Gwinnett club for the major league version, apparently to the point where they're showing up to the wrong ballpark on gameday.
