I'm surprised no one has mentioned Pittsburgh's airport code:

PIT

No one want to fly into the PIT.

This haystack name must be some real new school stuff and its weak as hell. Young bucks these days are game goofy so I wouldnt be surprised. Dont hang around 14 year olds that much...
LOL If people ever said "blah blah H-town" I probably just dismissed it as a joke..and I'm not "old school"? I'll take that as a compliment from a youngin' like you but sadly I am
And Spice was popular in the 90's that is "new school" to me.

I agree, and I voted L.A. also. At the risk of sounding like Randy Newman - I love L.A.!!!!

If this poll were asking about STATE names, then my state would take it, easily... "JERSEY". We don't even need the "new" in front of it and it works, unlike the other "new" states (e.g. "hampshire"? "york"?? Doesn't work for them!)



Actually another cool city nickname is right from NJ - "Bricktown" (Newark).

I'd say the LA on the Dodger hat looks better than the NY on the Yankee hat.
A little related trivia...

Do you know that the NY logo on the Mets hat, which is classically an orange NY logo, is actually the logo from the NY Giants (who are now the SF Giants)? It was taken directly from them, along with the orange color, and placed on Dodger Blue, because the Mets were the National League team to give NL fans in NY a team since both the others fled to California. That's why many older Mets fans are originally (Brooklyn) Dodgers fans. In fact, there are a few holdouts in NY who stuck with the LA Dodgers so we have some LA Dodger fans here too. I'm a Mets fan but I like the Dodgers also.

You got to be an old man the way yout talk about spice one being new school and not knowing about H-town in the east bay. Or perhaps you live in nob hill in SF isolated from bay area hip hop culture. Either way you arent knowning brah. Stop fronting for real
