A few weeks ago, the Morgantown franchise (which just relocated from Jamestown) held a naming contest. Today, the franchise announces that the new team will be called the West Virginia Black Bears. The team is the new Pittsburgh Pirates’ affiliate in the New York-Penn League, which is the level just below their other team in West Virginia, the Power.
It'S OFFICIAL! We will take the field in June of 2015 as the WEST VIRGINIA BLACK BEARS! Follow us at @WVBlackBears http://t.co/1P0n0PqGs1

As I wrote a few weeks ago when the voting first started, this should absolutely come with some Dwight Schrute promotions.
