I could handle something like Sodbusters... but not Sod Poodles. My area had to endure the stupid Baby Cakes in New Orleans... sadly they lost their team to Wichita... maybe someone will move to New Orleans and pick a sensible nickname like Buccaneers, Dixielanders, Cottonmouths, Moccasins, Gators or Bayou Bombers... they do have a nice stadium... somebody might come, but I'm not sure it's a baseball town... attendance for the Baby Cakes was dwindling fast.

Well, the plan is to resurrect the Baby Cakes as a AA team in the Southern League, as per this article.

Yes, the Baby Cakes made money off the name... but the people of New Orleans hated it... they wanted something that connected to the city and its heritage... Baby Cakes was a contrived name that tried to tie in with the New Orleans King Cake tradition... it was a very poor and forced attempt. I really hope if the Southern League comes to New Orleans, they will choose a name that ties in with the city's history and heritage. Something like New Orleans Bayou Blues... connecting the city's jazz heritage and the swamp land and swamp life... or New Orleans Buccaneers that is associated with Jean Lafitte and Dominique You, two smugglers, who helped Andrew Jackson beat the British in the Battle of New Orleans in 1814. Incidentally, "bayou" is pronounced "by- you".... not "by-yo" as in the great Hank Williams' song "Jambalaya"... Roy Orbison and Linda Ronstadt got it right in their hit versions of the song in the 60s and 70s. (Orbison) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ex2MsgpPafo (Ronstadt) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHwGqV6YOwo and yes, I know about the American Basketball Association team, the New Orleans Buccaneers in the late 60s... know the Bucs very well... I married one of their cheerleaders... I really loved the Buccaneers with Doug Moe, Jimmy Jones, Larry Brown, Steve Jones, Jackie Moreland and Red Robbins, coached by Babe McCarthy. Link to New Orleans Buccaneers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Orleans_Buccaneers The ABA used a red, white and blue ball... see the logo. And for all you little darlin's and buckaroos, here's Johnny Horton singing his #1 song from 1959: "The Battle of New Orleans". https://www.bing.com/search?q=battle...&setlang=en-US Last edited by Eugene Church; 11-09-2019 at 02:14 PM. |

Well, unfortunately the powers that be have chosen the Baby Cakes identity for that Southern League franchise, because SOMEone someWHERE likes it.

I know minor league teams have trended towards the ridiculous ("marketable") when it comes to nicknames but I absolutely HATE Babycakes.

Padres rebrand looks amazing, I’m hoping the brewers will too.

The Padres rebrand is great. Part throwback to the uniforms that I remember as a kid but with a modern take.

Eugene Church, you should be working for the New Orleans tourism bureau. LOL. I too loved the ABA. Watched the New York Nets with Dr. J and Mr. K (Julius Erving and Larry Kenon) on TV. In Hartford we have to put up with the Yard Goats name. People either love it or hate it. At least the team has been doing well financially.

Can't wait for one for someone to make the new Pads rebrand so I can use it in the game

Bottom line: it did improve their bottom line... in the end the fans dwindled... in part because the team was a "lame duck'... the fans knew last year was the last year... and also because they didn't like the name. |

SD Padres 2020. Not a fan of the UPS road jersey, but I really like the alternate. Adding my BP/ST concept set too.
