Wichita River Riders doesn't do it for me.

[RoyalShock]

How about a slight modification: Wichita Wriver Wranglers




Ok, that's bad. Nevermind.

I'd go with River Marlins. Be true to the parent club while confusing everyone.

Team Name #2: Wichita 29-ers. Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue...

[1972Shocker]

I think they are rolling out names that they will not use.

[SB Shock]

The 29ers blows chunks. How could that even be in the top 6. I hope they are just lowballing to make the real one seem even better. Because if this is the best they have - major failure.

[WstateU]

Frackin' horrible!

Team Name #2: Wichita 29-ers. Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue...

Might as well roll with the 69ers if they're going that direction. Now THAT'S a minor league name. Can you imagine the mascot and logo?

[WstateU]

Mic drop...

What is the historical connection of the 29er's? Never heard of it but must have a connection to Wichita somewhere.

[WstateU]

Most or all B-29 Bombers were made here; unfortunately only us 'old' farts would get it. :)

1644 of 3970 were built in Wichita

Like Shockm, I was lost on the significance of the number 29. For any other ##-er team, it denotes a year. It makes sense (now) that it's in reference to a B-29, but maybe the name should have been the B-29s or the Bombers or the Fortress or something like that.

If you have to explain the name, it's best to choose something else. Next!

Air Capital Flying Monkeys has wings.

[Shockm]

It was a miss for the name that was publicized was not the B 29er’s.

[Jeffrey Korchek]

I'm sure some people saw this, but probably not everyone. Looks like there's not a lot of reason to get excited or worked up over any of the names we'll see.

[1972Shocker]

Yeah, I think that was mentioned at the time they released the 1st name. So basically these are don't worry we are not using these names releases.

[Rocky Mountain Shock]

Yeah, this name stuff they're doing right now is just for publicity--just to get people talking and to draw attention to the organization.

[Shox The Revenant]

I'm telling you, the Wichita Wind Sox is going to be the name. When I'm interviewed, I'll make sure I name drop Shockernet and especially Fever as major influences to my submission.

I hope they don't go with Funnel Cakes, to play on the Baby Cakes name with a tornado theme. That's my biggest fear. A mascot looking like an upside down poop emoji.

The Doo-Dahs is the latest fake name thrown out. This is really becoming an idiotic exercise drawn out way too long.

[WstateU]

Hey hey, I submitted the "Doo-Dah Dusters"... ;)

[Rocky Mountain Shock]

Well, the silver lining is the actual name has to be better than the turds they've dropped so far.
