As a native Greensboran, awesome! Will be interesting to see if they go with the Monarchs or Generals, or with something new entirely.

Trying to think of something as cool as Orlando Solar Bears.

Greensboro Greenmen, nah. Greensboro Greensticks, yeah no.

Yeah, I think Monarchs or Generals it is.

The baseball team is the Grasshoppers, that's pretty whimsical, though they just got a major downgrade on the logos.

But really, when your city is named after General Greene, Generals is pretty obvious, and that's the name with by far the most heritage behind it. Create some new branding based around the statue in green, cream, and bronze, and call it a day.
