hogsmom Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I didn't see this posted anywhere. Just some general information about the day. Hope they choose a decent name. It doesn't matter to me as long as I get some tickets for Christmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 This was discussed a few months back in here, the thread is gone now. I think one of the names being considered was the Wall Bangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Ya, there were a few names and I don't believe a final name has been decided yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPN366 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 The new nickname, uniforms & colors will be announced on December 4th, along with a new website. From what I've read, the new nickname will be "Rhinos," & the new colors will be blue and white. The owner of the team use to own Blue Rhino before he sold it off to a bigger company to make his fortune. Apparently, the fan vote for a new nickname is a front. The choice was already decided on.

ThunderBolt Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Rhinos? Seriously? That's the best we can come up with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Wallbangers would've been cooler. They could have gone with a modified Wichita State look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
103 mph screwball Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Rhinos... Sounds like some station to station power hitters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPN366 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 (edited) I guess I was wrong, it's the Winston-Salem Dash, and the colors are blue, white & red. W-S Dash Edited December 4, 2008 by JPN366 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasox24 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 (edited) For those of you not familiar, Winston-Salem is commonly referred to as "the dash" (due to the dash b/t it's two words) by the people who live there. That's the reason they'll be called the Dash. Not saying I necessarily like the name, but I can understand why they named it that.

103 mph screwball Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Dash? Wow, now Rhinos sounds like a great name. They could put horns on the helmets and wear solid gray uniforms. The hard charging Rhinos win again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scenario Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I'm sure that Dash sounded like a good idea to the wine and cheese crowd of committee members who selected it... But as sports teams go, IMO it's a stupid name. I think if you want to pick a good sports team name you should ask kids, not wine sipping elitists who probably won't attend the games anyway.
