Current voting will also determine Herts U17 and U14 team names

Over the last 12 months Herts U17 and U14 team players have expressed their wish of giving the teams a new name. Both the U17 and U14 teams were referred to as All-Stars based on the fact that the teams were originally established as a selection of players chosen from the whole Herts Little League.

The All-Star team name has been quite popular and the Herts Baseball shop sold large quantities of the All-Star shirts (pictured right), but it appears that it is time for change.

The club is currently running a poll to determine the name of the newly formed fifth Herts senior league team. With less than 72 hours left in the preliminary voting round the club has decided to add the U17 and U14 teams into the equation.

The 3 most popular team names in the preliminary round will go through to the final vote to decide the name of the new Herts AAA team. Immediately after that, the 10 most popular runner-up team names from the preliminary voting round which is currently active will go into the final voting round to determine the name of the Herts U17 team. Once that name is selected, the remaining 10 most popular runner-up names will go into the final voting round to decide the name of the Herts U14 team.

The immediate effect of this is that there is a lot more at stake in the current preliminary voting round. The 12 most popular names in this round will qualify for the final rounds of voting for one of these three Herts teams.

The following are the latest poll numbers. Any of the 33 team names are still very much within reach of the all important top 12. The preliminary round will close at 23:59 this Sunday, 10 February 2013. Herts youth team members and fans should cast their votes before that deadline to give their favourite team names a chance to qualify for to the final voting rounds.
