Back in June, the New York Yankees short season A affiliate, the Staten Island Yankees announced they would be re-branding their franchise and solicited submissions from fans to help select their new name.
Three months and over 2,000 submissions later, the Staten Island Yankees revealed the five finalists for their club’s new moniker, all of which were meant to represent Staten Island in some capacity. Fans were then asked to vote on which of the five would be chosen. The five finalists were:
The Staten Island Bridge Trolls
The Staten Island Pizza Rats
The Staten Island Killer Bees
The Staten Island Heroes
The Staten Island Rock Pigeons
More from Minors
You can’t fault them for creativity.
