    Gwinnett Braves have their new name

    And it is not the Buttons or the Big Mouths, it is......... the Stripers

    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."

    ... and the hits just keep on coming.

    The logo is OK, but the uniform combos are horrific.

    If they had trouble deciding between the Big Mouths and Strippers, they should have just combined the two names.

    Gordon Blakely's Big Mouths has a nice ring to it.

    The Gwinnett Big Mouth Candy Striper Strippers (with Buttons).

    If that won't get the hicks out of the hills then I don't know what will.

    Oh, edit, I forgot the other name they were considering (which, I would imagine, didn't fit in with the ultimate vision of the team [just horny teenagers] either).

    *** The Gwinnett Big Mouth Gobblers Candy Striper Strippers (with Buttons). ***

    The name might be extra awkward If they had cheerleaders.

    If southerners are too stupid to realize the Gwinnett Braves aren’t the same as the Atlanta Braves, will they be smart enough to know they aren’t going to a strip club when they buy a Stripers ticket?

    Folks in this thread have already been confused by it.

    Same reason southern dollar stores have to price items in 5 cent increments haha.

    Not surprising you’re too dense to get a joke.

    I don’t hate it. Sounds like a pretty good minor league name, honestly.

    It doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. I don't like it, but I guess it's safe, except for being one p away from strippers.
