The Connecticut Tigers...well, they can still use the Defenders road uniforms..

that say "Connecticut" across the chest minus the the Defenders shoulder patch and hey good news--they didn't auction off too many of those on the Milb.com. And they can use the existing Tigers home whites from New York with a little modification. That sets the stage for a name the team contest this season for the 2011 season. You would hope for some sort of divisional realignment for 2011 as well.
The press conference started about a hour or so late since the new owner, Miles Prentice, was stuck someplace on the road due to bad weather.

Hey, I'm happy baseball continues at Dodd, whatever the name is, and that it's an American League team. The late start the team has in getting up and going for the 2010 will present some challeges in the months to come. The team can't start selling tickets until all the paperwork goes thru until the powers that be sign off on the relocation which Prentice says will be soon.
Whatever logo the team comes up with for the 2010 season will become an automatic collectible since it'll be around for just a single season.


I'll have to change the blog name slightly at some point but the web address stays the same.

Any suggestions for the new team name in 2011?? And what about the 2010 mascot? Tater, Cutter, Tiger??????
