    Richmond Romantics.

    It’s a romantic notion that baseball will succeed in this town.

    It should be something that honors the teams and the players in the old Negro league – Richmond Eagles, Richmond Monarchs, Richmond Stars, Richmond Grays. MLB missed this opportunity when they expandend. Richmond shouldn’t miss the same chance to pay respect to these players.

    along AC’s line of thinking…

    Richmond Red Stockings

    This name would be an homage to the only Virginia Negro League team in history, the Norfolk Red Stockings.

    After they plop it in the Bottom on top of all that history? There can be only one name for the Richmond team.

    LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER FOR YOUR RICHMOND SLAVES!!

    Richmond Rapids….we should promote the fact we have class IV rapids within our city limits! The James River is one of the best things about Richmond, so why not play off that?

    The Richmond Khakis or
    The Richmond Preps
    … Because Richmond is so full of it …

    RICHMOND Rapids Wonderful.

    Draw attention to our being on the James R. Perhaps other names relating to our River James.

    Richmond along with all of our wonderful Commonwealth has so much to be proud of, why not name our new ball team, The Pride of Richmond, or The Richmond Pride.

    I wish I had entered the CONTEST, late as
    usual. The team should be named
    RICHMOND RESILIENCE! The ability to spring
    back from defeat, disappointment or failure.

    Name: Richmond River Rocks

    I think The Cannons is a better name than any of the 5 finalist. Has a connection to Richmond’s history. Try to hit a Cannon ball. Has attitude. Easy to say.

    Or just The Rocks. Drop “Hoppers.” Still has a connection to the James. Do we really need to spell it out? Has more attitude. The Richmond Rocks has a nice ring to it. But I would just call them The Rocks.

    That’s my 2 cents.

    I like the Richmond River Renegades or Richmond River Rapids. The motto could be the 3 r’s. We are Rigtheous, Rough and always Ready.
