I nominate “Greene Kearneys” and the mascot is a literal carney man. Every game have a costume contest from the crowd.

Maybe the team can be called "The Physicians, Surgeons, and Lawyers"

Queen City Cobras or Springfield 66ers. Utilize the color scheme of the new city flag.

I got season tickets and voted Cobras, and I'm trying to get everyone to vote Cobras too!
jjmcgil t1_jblbtku wrote
Everyone vote Cobras please! It's a great name, a cool mascot, and a fun bit of history.

Awarded has several connotations. One can be awarded a contract if there are several bidders, for example. They weren't given something for free if it's earned. Medals given to servicemembers are awards and none are given for free.

Yay! More public funds diverted to asinine bullshit!

There’s also The Razzies.
Many connotations indeed.

There always seems to be a lot of socializing of the costs and privatizing of the profits when sports facilities get built.
I’m sure this one will be different, though…
Hopefully it’s a net gain for the area.

Lookup the Springfield Cobra Scare. It's a classic bit of Americana from right here.

In 1953 a dude got mad about his pet fish dying, and released a crate of cobras into the town. As one does. The entire town then proceeded to lose their shit and organize armed cobra hunting parties. And because it was the 50s and everyone was old-timey racist, they also hired an Indian snake charmer to drive around playing snake charming music.
Anyway they ended up beating all the cobras to death with garden hoes.
This sounds made up but I promise you it's entirely true.

Say it. Swirl it around on your tongue a little. Do you taste it? That’s the alliteration working 😉👌🏻
