Cracker Cats
You can forget about Roustabouts. The new Northern League franchise will be called the Cracker Cats.

Re: Cracker Cats
are you joking?
if you aren't, there is a tie to the oilfield.
catalytic crackers or aka hydrocrackers, in simple terms, are equipment used in refineries....but that is an absolutely terrible name.

Re: Cracker Cats
Just when you thought Roustabouts was as bad as it got.........
I can think of one that's better right off the hop:
Edmonton Deuces ( tribute to John Ducey)I will not, for a moment longer, support an organization who chooses to cowardly kneel where they once fiercely & proudly stoodComment

Nahh, he's got a freeway and a statue already.
John Ducey was the father of baseball in Edm. A tribute to him would have been very nice considering they took his ballpark away from him.

Re: Cracker Cats
Mel Kowalchuk usually gets things right but not this time. Nobody seems to like the nickname because it's ridiculous and lame. They have "Name the Team" contests to avoid this kind of error.Comment

Re: Cracker Cats
I don't mind the name, actually...kind of novel, IMO. I saw the logo(s) on the news tonight, and they weren't half bad, I've definitely seen worse.
As time passes, it'll probably be shortened to just 'Cats or C-Cats in casual conversation anyways. Not my first choice for a name, but I can work with it.We're cheering Fight Fight Fight On Eskimos...Comment

Upon further review...
...the name sucks even more now than when I first heard it. As someone else mentioned, the Northern League already has a team with a nonsensical feline name (the Gary Southshore Railcats). Strike 1! There's too many ways to alter the name into something stupid/insulting (Crapper Cats, Crackerjacks, Crackers, Cracked Bats, Crappy Cats, Crappy Stats, etc., etc., etc.). Strike 2! The tie-in to the oilpatch is so weak and such a reach that it's an insult to everyone's intelligence. Strike 3, YER OUT!!! Please go back to the drawing board...Comment
