I think has to do with the purple tint that accompanies the storm associated with a hurricane. There are at least two other "Purple Hurricane" teams in Georgia, though -- so there's either something to it or we have some copycats.<BR/><BR/>My favorite nicknames are the Macon Whoopee (former name of a hockey team) and the Carolina Mudcats (minor league baseball).RightOnPeachtreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16929384194478225181noreply@blogger.com
