What do you think of the new name for the Lexington Legends? Tell us in our poll.

Lexington's minor league baseball team has a new name, and people have some thoughts about the change.

Formerly known as the Lexington Legends, the Lexington Counter Clocks are the new kids on the baseball diamond.

As the Herald-Leader reported earlier, the Counter Clocks, who will sport red and blue, pay homage to Kentucky's influence on horse racing.

In the announcement video released by the organization, the decision to shift the direction in which horses race around a track from clockwise to counterclockwise is cited as the inspiration for the new name.

Reactions online to the name change have been a bit of a mixed bag, to say the least.

Suffice to say, people have thoughts on the name change. I’m sure you, the reader, have thoughts too which is why the Herald-Leader wants to hear from you about the change. First up, do you like or dislike the name? Tell us in the poll below.

Now if you had the power to rename the Lexington Legends to something else, what would you name the team? Or maybe you’d just leave the name as is, which is a valid answer as well.

The Lexington Counter Clocks will begin their season April 28 with a three-game home stand against the York Revolution. Tickets and new merchandise are available on the Counter Clocks’ website now.
