I had originally submitted

Bombers and Monarchs.

I don’t really like “Blue Bombers” so much though.

I'd be shocked

if anything but the O-Royals won. The other names suck. The Funnel Clouds!?

Everyone who bashes Kendall..... he is a damn good catcher. Very smart behind the plate. He has great BAT CONTROL, which makes him a good top of the order hitter.

The voting is somewhat rigged...

because they reserve the right to go with a name that doesn’t win the vote. So O-Royals may not win.

That said, they did a great job of picking out a designer:

The stuff they have done is just outstanding in my opinion

Oddly enough, that's not so different from

“Ak-sar-ben” (Knights – the name of the old Omaha minor league hockey team)

Well, just don't try to register as basketball player "Joe Johnson"

who lives on 1234 Hawks Dr. in Atlanta, zip code 34567. Because that’s spoken for. Oh, and feel free to contact “me” at joejohnson@aol-listsrv.com

I hate the fact

that half of those names are of the “non-plural” variety. Those kinds of names seriously suck.

That said, most of the others do as well. They might as well just stay the Omaha Royals.

This is why I listed Royals Royals Royals

I would pick another name as a runner-up, but they all suck.

by MinnesotaRoyal on Sep 14, 2010 7:48 PM EDT up reply actions

this is what i did too

the Monarchs is OK, probably the only other acceptable one.

i’d be pretty stunned if ‘Royals’ didn’t win though.

by doublestix on Sep 14, 2010 9:47 PM EDT up reply actions

Same

Monarchs would be acceptable, but I’d rather just avoid changing it. I know people get juiced for a new logo, but I feel like there are still some great possibilities with ORoyals.

I would buy this jersey.

I'd buy the jersey..

AND start a baseketball franchise out here

I think they want to change names as they will get a nice revenue bump from everyone buying new team merch.

by AxDxMx on Sep 15, 2010 12:58 AM EDT reply actions

Suckers!

Haven’t bought anything yet because I just haven’t been won over by anything.

Voting 3 times for Royals doesn't do much now

since they’re gonna take the top finishers, so it’s just throwing away 2 votes that can be used to game the system to block viable names from being on future ballots with the Royals name

Omaha Beers

Omg!!!

Now I WANT it to be this…bad.

maaaybe if Trey Parker and Matt Stone got involved..they could persuade Omaha to toss out the list of names and just go with the Omaha Beers.

How AWESOME would that be?

Short of an idea I have in place to make one of the stars of Baseketball aware that it’d be awesome, any chance of KC-Omaha starting a petition to lock down that name?

by KennyPowers_from_Scout on Sep 15, 2010 2:53 PM EDT reply actions

actually..

Omaha Beers beats my wishes they’d change the name to the Omaha Morning Woods

by KennyPowers_from_Scout on Sep 15, 2010 2:55 PM EDT up reply actions

If Omaha Royals doesn't win,

I would accept:
Omaha Beers
Omaha Steaks
Omaha Whiskeys
Omaha Awesomes

That is all. Also, here is my series on the worst-case scenarios for all the shitty names on the list. This is my best/favorite one:
