Name Change

With the Devil Rays name change working so well, maybe the Nationals should try it out as well:

Many cities' teams have appellations that reflect their local heritage or principal industry, such as the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Houston Astros, the Milwaukee Brewers or the Green Bay Packers. So with this in mind, I thought that a highly appropriate and ethnically safe team name for the reincarnated capital city baseball team would be the Washington Lobbyists.

I like that a lot. However, I came up with the perfect name for the team back in 2004, The Washington Exposés.

True about those team names, but there are not too many Tigers in Detroit, Bear Cubs in Chicago, or Indians or Braves in Cleveland or Atlanta. How about Pandas, since so many tourist come to DC to see the Pandas at the National Zoo? That would lend itself to some interesting uniform designs.

I like the Pandas as a name, although I'm not sure the players would be happy with the bamboo shoots spread after every game. :-)

I've been partial to the Washington Insiders. I thought that would have been the best choice for the team that was eventually renamed the Wizards. But I see no reason it couldn't be used for a baseball team.

Most appropriate name: Washington Losers.
