Which Name Best Fits Boston?

The Game · 01-27-2015, 07:16 PM

In my ABF league Boston has gone by the Fighting Irish, Americans, Braves and now back to being called the Fighting Irish. While watching the Sons of Liberty marathon I am thinking of changing their name and would like some ideas along with the few in the poll. If you suggest a name other then listed please provide some logos and uniforms. Right now I am in 1926. I already have teh Philadelphia Liberty so Liberty or Sons of Liberty is not an option.

What about Minutemen? The nickname project has a logo and uniform.

I am considering that one also. But Minutemen sounds too 1800's to me. i want something i can stick with from 1930 or so until 2050.

5 for Irish 5 for Revolution. Totally undecided. If it stays tied i will stay with Irish.

These are the only Revolution jerseys i have although I did find some scripts. In my old ABF league Philly was known as Revolution.

I'd say this "USA! USA!" crap isn't fitting for a Boston baseball team, besides that that is what the New England Patriots are for.

Germaniac · 01-28-2015, 01:46 PM

I guess I'd go with Fightin' Irish

canadiancreed · 01-28-2015, 01:51 PM

The first two. Revolution is too 1990's

Boston Clovers

Le Grande Orange · 01-28-2015, 03:39 PM

I'll go with my standard suggestion: the Boston Bostonians.

Why isn't it fitting? The New England Patriots won't exist for another 30 yrs, I also can find plenty of Patriots logos. Hard to find quality logos for the other choices.

I'd go with Fighting Irish.

I'm surprised the NNP didn't just slap a cartoony version of Sam the Minuteman on and call it a day.

As a former Southie, back in the day ... Irish rules ... we always have the St. Patrick Day celebration in March ... incidentally, I believed Boston have the oldest running parade of St. Patrick Day ... so it would be fitting to be known as the Fighting Irish

I like Option 4 and will vote for the Boston Write-Ins.

Elektranaut · 02-01-2015, 06:39 AM

I've used Emeralds quite a lot,and Tea Men.

MBarrett · 02-01-2015, 10:49 AM

Write-in vote: Boston Rebels

Bowtie · 02-01-2015, 02:24 PM

How about the Boston Pioneers? Or the Boston Crusaders? Boston Colonels? Boston Eagles?

Spritze · 02-01-2015, 03:03 PM

Obviously the Boston Bostonians.

You can keep that nickname until they move to New Haven.
