Could be one of the worst names for a sports team yet. Really? Trash Pandas?

They have sold a great deal of merchandise. Good conversation starter:

Wiki for the Trash Bandits Check out the logo! What type of animal is in the logo? A 30 gal trash can is the prize for the first to guess it. Well, no prize just tell me what type of animal it is. I already know but I want you guys to use your brains and think for a change!

chosen by online voting:

[highlight] Ants[/highlight]: Sound off! The Army's Redstone Arsenal serves as a center for missile and national defense programs and employs more than 40,000 members of our community.

[highlight]Comet Jockeys[/highlight]: "Rocket City" was put on the map for its cutting-edge aerospace development. Comet Jockeys is a celebration of our brave astronauts who explore outer space.

[highlight]GloWorms[/highlight]: Glow Worms are rare, tiny, bioluminescent creatures that call the caves at Dismals Canyon in North Alabama home, one of the few places in North Alabama!

[highlight]Lunartics[/highlight]: We are home to some of the wildest mad scientists facing today's challenges in space and technology. You'd have to be a "Lunartic" to do that!

[highlight]Moon Possums[/highlight]: A scavenger at heart, these local critters are known for hanging around and having a good time with their family-- just like going to a ballgame!

[highlight]Puffy Head Bird Legs[/highlight]: No joke! It's lingo coined by our astronauts for body fluid moving from feet to head in outer space due to lack of gravity!

[highlight]Space Chimps[/highlight]: A tribute to Miss Baker, one of the first animals safely launched into space who is buried on the grounds at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center.

[highlight]Space Sloths[/highlight]: A nod to NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, the Space Sloths is up there with classic Minor League Baseball names like IronPigs, Flying Squirrels, Chihuahuas and Jumbo Shrimp.

[highlight]ThunderSharks[/highlight]: Mix the powerful thunder of North Alabama's storms with the Ultra-strong, sleek determination of the shark and you end up with the personality of our community: willing to attack any problem. Visiting teams won't mess with ThunderSharks.

[highlight]Trash Pandas[/highlight]: (Slang for raccoon) Our community is known for engineering, and no creature in our galaxy is as smart, creative, determined, and ingenious. A problem solver-- dedicated to the challenge at hand-- as our local raccoons!

The previous team was Stars. This team is playing in a new ballpark (unfortunately it is 30-45 minutes further away from me)
