Listened to the Big Jab on my way to work this morning, apparently they're partners with the new NBA D-League team in Portland and are part of the contest to name the team. They just announced our choices:

• Maine Beacons
  
• Maine Crushers
  
• Maine Claws
  
• Maine Destroyers
  
• Maine Red Claws
  
• Maine Swarm
  
• Maine Traps

...

That's it? That's all they got?

Yikes.

Personally I prefer "NBA Maine Basketball".

Anyway, you will soon be able to vote via www.nbamaine.com (it's not working as of press time), or call 207-210-6655 or send in the ballot from the Portland Press Herald.

I guess "Beacons" is okay. Although I bet "Crushers" could have a good logo ...
