quote:

The Atlanta Braves' Triple-A farm team has a new nickname.

In a real curveball, it's not one of the six finalists.

The former Gwinnett Braves, a team located in Atlanta's sprawling northern suburbs, announced Friday their new moniker is the Stripers -- a tribute to striped bass fishing on Lake Lanier.


Laniers gonna let us all party in the Gwinnett owners box!

quote:

A selection committee initially decided on Big Mouths -- another fishing nickname -- as the winner. However, while developing logos and uniforms, officials decided it "was not fitting with the ultimate vision of the team."


Big Mouths >>>>> Stripers

The Braves organization chickened out.

Lanier is for spots not stripes. So try again.

Yeah, that Spots in his name was really hard to see.

They named the team in honor of Lake Lanier, dude. Hint: I didn't really believe that Laniers was the new owner of the Gwinnett "Stripers". IT WAS JUST A frickING JOKE, Mr. Pedant.

I bought 300 of those things two years ago for about 278.00 each. I forgot I had them till I read your post. I need to see if they have become popular yet.

Just for the record, the logo looks like shite. The color and graphics are really bad


And stripers are trash fish.


But thanks for the thread.
