"This is a great concept and I hope the owners go along with this. A great compromise!"
"SO MUCH BETTER than the stupid names they came up with. I would actually buy my kid this merchandise. Not buying any of the other names."
"I love this concept ... very creative"
"Love the name and your marketing creativity is outstanding!!"
"WOW WOW!!! This is great all of it!! Snappy as the lead singer of the band and all the other characters incorporated!! Great colors to...You have my vote"
"Wow! This is the first time I have been okay with this! Nicely done!"
"I love the idea. One thing Quint needs to consider is the lag in merch sales won’t change if your target audience hates the new name. I am � behind River Rockers and having Snappy stay at the helm."
"Love the Beloit River Rockers name and logos! I would be proud to support the team with this name. I DO NOT SUPPORT the other new names at all!"
"A very cool, clever name!"
"This name is 100% better than the other names. The other names could be considered a joke."
"This is a great name! How fun to include all the others. Very creative."
"Actually very AWESOME! Would be very marketable! Incorporates all the ideas! This would be a win win!"
"This is an awesome compromise. It still represents Snappy but a "Rocking" Snappy that promises a fun time."
"This name is so much better. Any of the other names they have picked will make us a laughing stock. I agree, The River Rockers & keep the turtle!!"
"The BEST suggestion yet!!"
