Raisin Eaters

I saw the Fresno Grizzlies went to the Raisin Eaters throw backs last week. I didn't see anyone take a stab at these, so here is my efforts... I made up the hat, because they didn't have an actual hat... just thought I'd share.

Cheers

I stumbled on this thread, and omni's logo related thereto and am going to use them for a league idea (and thanks to both of you for the great stuff!).

It occurred to me that the Raisin Eaters, had they survived into our century, might by now be called something else. I'm thinking of the Trolley Dodgers, specifically, or the various "Stockings" teams that shortened their names. What could the Raisin Eaters have become? "Raisins" reminds me too much of the old California Raisins ad campaign, although it's not terrible. "Eaters" obviously doesn't work. "R'eaters" is similarly weird.

Any brilliant creative name ideas? Or should I just get used to Raisin Eaters?
