And the best part about Minor League teams: The names don't have to make to much sense
Kingfish were in Baton Rouge and were named for Huey Long.

Brass were in New Orleans and had trumpets in their logo.

IceGators were in Lafayette but were called Louisiana. Ice for hockey, gators for the local animal. Not sure if it was deliberate that the name sounded very close to "Ice Skaters". They were a huge success in OTL. Averaged over 10,000 fans per game in their first few seasons.

Seawolves were in Biloxi and the arena is just off the Gulf of Mexico.

April 24, 1993: Hundreds of Toronto citizens gather around the streets as the city's NBA team will officially be named. One of Toronto's city council goes up to the podium. "Everyone here knows the struggles that our great city has faced in getting a NBA team. However, we can now rest easy since those struggles are now behind us. Before I would like to announce the name of our new team, I would like to explain our reasoning behind the name. Everyone in the organization wanted to pay tribute to the wild in Toronto. We spent many months deciding what animal we should pay tribute to. However, our marketing team decided that we shouldn't be restricted to just Toronto's wilderness, not even restricted to Canada's wilderness. We decided that the only way to show true tribute to nature would be to name our team after a creature that not even reality itself could handle its scale of beauty. So, without further Ado, I am happy to reveal our city's new team, the Toronto Dragons." The black curtain is lifted up to reveal the primary logo, a forward facing green and purple dragon soaring through the sky. The team name was in a font that many described as "Cloudy".
