The Gwinnett Braves are giving you the opportunity of a lifetime — the chance to help them name your hometown baseball team. After the thousands upon thousands of entries they have narrowed the list down to the top six names. Starting today, through July 24, 2017, we are asking you, the fans, to provide input on the name of the Gwinnett 2018 Triple-A club. Please remember they are looking for a new name that communicates the family fun entertainment they’re known for while paying tribute to the stories of our community.
The nominees are:
- Gwinnett Big Mouths
- Named after the state fish of Georgia, the Big Mouths are a tribute to bass fishing on Lake Lanier.
- Gwinnett Buttons
- The Buttons honor Gwinnett County’s namesake, Button Gwinnett, signatory of the Declaration of Independence.
- Gwinnett Gobblers
- The Gobblers celebrate the outdoors, hunting and eating all the foods we love in the state of Georgia.
- Gwinnett Hush Puppies
- Our stealthy hunting dog is sneaking through the weeds, about to rustle up some ducks. But don’t think we’re all that serious. You can expect a “corny” fan experience at the “Puppies” game!
- Gwinnett Lambchops
- A chop off the old block, the Lambchops marry the region’s love of home cooking with the Tomahawk Chop of the Atlanta Braves.
- Gwinnett Sweet Teas
- It’s a regional icon “to a tea!” The Sweet Teas celebrate the laid-back lifestyle of Gwinnett County while displaying a real sweet look.
