The Omaha Royals will unveil the results of their Name the Team contest during an event on Monday, November 15 at 5:00 pm at Embassy Suites – LaVista.
The new team name will be one of the following nine, chosen by fans who had a chance to vote on the Royals’ website recently for their favorite:
- Cattlemen: Presumably a tribute to people across the state who raise cattle.
- Commanders: A tribute to the military personnel in the area.
- Force: Just a cool name?
- Hailstorm: A reference to the stormy nature of the area.
- Omahogs: Omaha had a minor league team named the Omahogs that played in the late 1800s in the Western Association and Western League.
- Royals: The current team name remains on the table.
- Sodbusters: A tribute to the farmers of the area.
- Storm Chasers: Another weather reference.
- Windwalkers: Seems to have something to do with ranching and/or expeditions.
The event is open to the public. If you would like to attend, you must RSVP by November 5 to Kay Besta or Lois Biggs at 402.734.2550 or rsvp@oroyals.com.
