51s Asking Fans To Submit New Team Name Suggestions

The Las Vegas 51s announced yesterday they’re looking for help to rename their team.

They’re launching naming sweepstakes and are asking fans to submit their ideas online.

The 51s are re-branding in 2019 to coincide with the opening of the Las Vegas Ballpark at Downtown Summerlin.

The team was first known as the Las Vegas Stars and changed its name to the 51s in 2001.
