    My old joint is doing this contest and I'm not voting - not real sure what else was submitted if these were the five best! Just my opinion of course.

    http://www2.timesdispatch.com/rtd/sports/baseball/name-the-team/

    Richmond Rock Hoppers
    Richmond Rhinos
    Richmond Flatheads
    Richmond Flying Squirrels
    Richmond Hambones


    My son just said, "I want to support this team. I will not wear a single piece of clothing with any of those names on there."
    Hey, I won't either - just because I only wear the Curly W.

    They can't go with a name that ties in with the city or area, much like the Bowling Green Hot Rods did last year?

    I like Rhinos for a team name.

    From a something-I'd-actually-wear-to-support aspect, I'm for the Flying Squirrels.

    From the could-make-for-fun-headlines aspect, I vote for the Rock Hoppers or Flatheads.

    Rhinos and Flying Squirrels are best for marketability/kitschy items.

    And what sort of person/people would suggest "hambones" for a mascot/team name? Uhm, no.
