Death by inches
I fucking hate where I live. We lost the Triple-A Sky Sox because of a small, antiquated stadium, terrible Spring weather, and no team wanting their young pitchers trying to develop at 6200 feet above sea level.
The Sky Sox left for San Antonio, but we inherited the Brewers single-A team from Helena. This week, that team announced the new name and colors:
People in the Springs are fucking raging. Apparently Sky Sox was such a legit name that anything less is simply unacceptable. Facebook people, (who are the absolute worst), have gone as far as to refer to the team as the "Vibrators" and talk shit about s'mores.
I don't think this is all that bad. The team took fan submission and then held a vote for 5 options: Happy Campers, Punchy Pikas, Throttle Jockeys, Lamb Chops, and Rocky Mountain Oysters. The club obviously went the "Happy Campers" route with the logos, but in the 11th hour, decided to go with "Vibes" instead.
The target audience is obviously families and kids. Again, I get it. There's a lot worse out there.
