These are some great ideas. Keep them coming! I would pass them along to a guy I went to HS with since he lives in Bell City, MO and their HS mascot is the cubs... but he's the superintendent of the district so I don't think he'd actually do any of these.

My son's league uses real minor league teams, and even copies their logos (I'm sure it's all legal). I think it's great and you avoid the shame of wearing a Cubs uniform. Last year, they were the Portland Sea Dogs. This year, they were the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers

MuckDogs? LumberKings? RockHounds? SeaDogs? Timber Rattlers?

If I was a AAA lifer, I'd beg for a trade to Colorado.

Your team slogan should be "We haven't won a World Series in the last 108 years, either"

:-P

My Pee Wee football team was the Saints. And while I've always had an affinity for the logo, I'm not a Saints fan. So there is hope as long as you raise your kid the right way. No pressure.

We were the Saints as well. Then the Seahawks.
