21.4. Oh Yeah, I Forgot to Announce the Team Name

Post by agrudez » Sat May 16, 2015 11:19 pm

*A crowd has assembled at the local Hooters to hear GM Stever address the city of Huntsville once more about their new baseball team. In a piece of completely random background that has nothing to do with the story, it is a Hawaiian themed night (HAHA GUYS, DO YOU SEE WHAT I DID THERE? :bowtie:)*

"Hello everyone, it is good to see you all again. Hopefully those assembled are a little more enthusiastic about *clears throat* bizball than the lost crowd I spoke to. At any rate, it dawned on me that amidst the moonshine jokes and incest inferences of my last address to you all that I forgot to announce the team name for your new Huntsville squad! Now, I know I told you all that we were going to be conducting a naming contest and using the winner as the team's name, but they were boooooring. I mean, we get it, space stuff happened here like 40 years ago - why does that mean we have to name the team the Apollos or Lunars or Rockets or blah blah blah? So, without further ado..."

"Say hello to your new team - the Huntsville Phantoms! As for our minor league affiliates, in an unprecedented move, we will actually be placing our AAA team ON the arsenal military installment right here in the heart of Huntsville... right around the main gate, to be precise... across from the golf course. They will be the Redstone Eagles!

For our AA team, we will be moving them to nearby Decatur, AL and placing them down by the nature reserve at Point Mallard... across from the golf course. They will be the Decatur Birdies!

Our A team will be setting up shop a bit further west from there in Moulton, AL... across from the golf course. They will be the Moulton... Aces?

As for our RL team, they will be coming back closer to home on the east side of the city down in Hampton Cove... across from the golf course. They will be the Hampton Cove... uhm... Albatross? Hm, does that even make sense? Screw it - go with it.

I can assure you we, as an organization, will take advantage of our minor league affiliate's close proximity with constant scouting trips - especially after Twilight rates start back up in the fall."

I sent a cleaned up version of that logo, and uniforms to go with it. Put it in today's HTML. Let me know what you think.

It is usually HSV, actually, but I don't have a preference.
