They should just be called the maineiacs or the portland pink eyes. LOL

I love maine jokes.

Wow, those names sure sound like a bunch of winners. Were Assclowns or the **** Asshats not available?

If I had to choose, I think I would go with the Beacons. I am sure there could be a lot of original phallic jokes associated with that which would make somewhat amusing.

These names all had to be approved by the NBA. These are worse than Thunder. I'm not sure how I'm gonna vote on this one yet. Ugh.

The Portland Piers would be pretty cool.

Seriously, who the hell comes up with these, other D League, WNBA, and OKC's names? Shouldn't they be paying someone who doesn't have the creativity of a five year old to come up with names?

Maine Traps

How the hell are you gonna make cool logo outta that? The only cool logo for a "trap" would be graphic and not appropriate. lol Imagine that.

Anyway, you also gotta think about merchandise. I wanna buy some gear but not if it has some stupid ass logo on it with a queer name.

PORTLAND PIERS!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep is simple and classy. No logos just the name across the front with a good color scheme. Green and white? Why not?

While that may be right, I actually really want to know if they're at least paying someone specifically to come up with these names or if it's just owners or some higher ups that haven't aged mentally since they were a toddler.

Wow, those choices are thoroughly depressing. We should organize a email protest of this.

I would guarantee they pay someone to come up with these. But the owners are, as you say, so lame they approve them...

Here is my attempt at a logo. Took me 4 mins. Crappy names though.

MyInsatiableOne · Post #15 » by **MyInsatiableOne** » Wed Mar 4, 2009 4:00 pm

^So lame (the name not your logo)...how is a cooked lobster going to sound cool, you know?

I was hoping for Crabs. The Portland Crabs sounds funny. and would make a good t-shirt.

Ha! I see you've already had the same thoughts.

The good people of Maine deserve better!

The Maineiacs is really the best choice.

They would really move some merch with a name like that.
