Spectacle Island Team Logos - The Second Batch
Three of the potential names for the Spectacle Island franchise are brand new names to the area. With Erin Reische on the job, she has rendered three possibilities. According to Commissioner Nate Howard, if any or all three of these new concepts are not chosen by the former Warwick franchise, then they will be used by another team in the CBO-affiliated leagues. We will tell more of that story later in some exciting baseball news.
But, first, let's break down the three newest possible franchise nicknames with the explanation of how they are "spectacularly Spectacle Island."
Diners - With new owner of the franchise being Patrick Drumlin, the co-owner of the Drumlin Diner franchise along with his mother, Trudy, this team name makes sense. Being in the Minutemen League, one team, the Jamaica Plain Red Rockets, already carry a franchise-owned team name. Patrick Drumlin has already begun building the first Drumlin Diner on Spectacle Island, which will be right outside the ballpark. The team would take on a yellow and black color scheme to stand out from the crowd. While the Diners name does not instill fear in other teams like the Mirelurks name does, it does instill a sense of companionship. Baseball and food go together, and the Diners would be non-stop food advertisements, a sure boon to an already successful restaurant franchise in the Commonwealth.
Radstorm - A staple of weather delays in the CBO, the Radstorm would encapsulate the power of nature and how it decides when or if the Commonwealth would ever be rad-free. The Radstorm, shortened to the Storm like some other teams have their names shortened in stories, would become the most powerful of images in the CBO. Their colors would be radstorm green and radiation yellow, pulsating the wrath of the wastes.
Specters - Playing off the name of Spectacle Island, the Specters would be an attribute to the mystery of the island and the supernatural elements the people of the wastelands still do not understand. Places that we know of, like the Dunwich Borers quarry and the Grandchester Mansion near Nuka-World. This team would create a unique color scheme of sea green and blood red that would play on the uniqueness of Spectacle Island and its history.
In addition to changing the nickname, the baseball stadium will take on the Drumlin Diner name. Currently, the stadium in Outpost Zimonja of the GBRL, an affiliate of the Jamaica Plain team, is named Drumlin Diner Picnic Park. Since Jamaica Plain and the Spectacle Island team are competitors, the Red Rockets will seek a new sponsor and rename their park in the OZ.
