Just under 1 hour from now (2:30 PM) we'll get the announcement of the team nickname for club. Not sure if we'll get a release of the logo today as well but that shouldn't be too far off. Look for merchandise to start popping up after that.
It'll be nice to be able to refer to the team by name instead the new team coming to Richmond.
Real life has gotten in the way of updates over the last week so here's a quick recap.
CNBC contest added Hush Puppies for a 6th contestant. Hambones was booted for being culturally insensitive. Flatheads has also drawn controversy. We'll se in a bit how all this affected the decision.
My personal opinion is that Flying Squirrels or Rock Hoppers will be our winner. Rhinos is too generic. Hush Puppies doesn't do anything for me and Flatheads is now supposedly controversial as well.
Squirrels make for a much easier logo design, I'd be interested to see what they come up with for Rock Hoppers.
