Please give us 5 better finalist names for the Amarillo pro baseball team

Some neat suggestions I've seen include the Amarillo Jackalopes, Amarillo Ospreys, and Amarillo Rattlers.

Since hockey no longer has it, why not Amarillo Rattlers? Or just keep the Thunderheads name? Either of those are lightyears better than any of these. No one likes the selected five. Don't shackle a brand new team with a dumb name.

Yellow sandstorm or yellow jackets is way better than these.

Yellow City Bombers or Amarillo Bombers

I have some suggestions for better names. Nuclear Yellow, Yellow Fellows, Yellow Jackets,

I would hate to be a fan of any of the current names that were selected. We can do better than this.

These names suck.

The five suggested names would only be appropriate for some two-bit independent league ball club. If you can imagine the (very real) possibility of Eric Hosmer being sent for a rehab assignment to the AA Boot Scooters, it becomes immediately clear how insanely terrible this situation is.

These names are terrible

Stupid names. Come up with some that we can be proud of.

Hey, baseball team name decision makers - it's June 1st, not April 1st, so, your mistimed April Fool's joke is falling on deaf ears. The local team will not begin playing games until April of 2019. What this means is you have plenty of time to scrap the team name contest and start over. Redo the name contest, start from scratch, square one, whatever it takes ... please!! If I was a minor league baseball player and was told I would be playing next season for ANY of the selected potential team names .. I would quit the sport due to the embarrassment of having any of the chosen names plastered across my chest while on the field. Let some local people in on the selection process, people who hate boot scooters, jerky, long haulers and bronc busters - you will be glad you did. How about the Amarillo Hardwoods? Do you have any idea what Palo Duro (canyon) means? Hint .... Hard Wood. How about The Playas? Do you know what a playa is? The tens of thousands of low lying geological depressions that gather and hold water for wildlife and waterfowl within just a few miles of Amarillo. Do the right thing and scrap the 5 idiotic names you have chosen for our local team. I'll tell you this - I was greatly looking forward to attending and enjoying baseball at our newly built facility. But, if you select any of the current finalist names, I'll never set foot in your new baseball stadium and I'll encourage anyone I know to boycott the Amarillo team, ridicule the Amarillo team, and travel to other cities if they want to watch Texas League baseball. And I'm not the only fan who feels this way - think about it.

would like to see other names you rejected can't be as bad as the 5 you chose

Please get mire/better ideas.

West Texas Tornadoes is a way better name

Amarillo Night Rider

I submitted Amarillo 66ers .... old Route 66 and all its built in fame, a ready made jingle from the very old TV show with one word change, "Get your kicks, with OUR sixty-six. Sod Poodles??? If we are going to name them after the prairie dog, give them the name many of us used growing up ... DIRT DOGS.

Please don't ignore your supporters. These names, if not changed, cemented the fact that I will not attend games or buy any merchandise. When the Dillas were in Amarillo, I attended lots of games and enjoyed them. I will have no part of the jerks or snow poodles or whatever other stupid names you come up with.

They hired the Branding out to a firm in San Diego which does this for lots of teams, including running the fake contests. Company name is Brandiose. There's no 'board' involved.

Who is on the Amarillo professional baseball board. They should be fired. I want their job. Lets name the team something thats not a joke. It doesn't even have to be related to Texas. Angels, white soxs, are some examples. Just make it normal and not stupid
