Blackjacks, huh?

I can dig that name. I was hoping for the Atlantic City “Shoobies,” but my idea didn’t really pick up steam.

Per ESPN 97.3 down the shore:

The Blackjacks name won the vote by a narrow margin, with 36% of the total votes. Gamblers came in as a close second at 31%, Royals at 13%, Jackpot at 11%, and High Rollers at 9%.

There were over 6,500 unique votes submitted.

Michael Santaniello, a student from Rider University, was the first to enter the team name and won the ultimate Atlantic City Blackjacks prize pack including 2019 inaugural season tickets, an official team game helmet and personalized home game jersey.

The Black Jacks are holding tryouts on March 30th at Total Turf Experience in Pitman. Their inaugural season begins on April 27th in Philadelphia against the hated, arch rival Soul.
