In 2006, Southern Maryland residents chose the name "Blue Crabs" in a team-sponsored fan ballot.[4] The name refers to the indigenous blue crab, the official state crustacean of Maryland.[5] The Blue Crabs' fanbase has been nicknamed the "Crustacean Nation", an allusion to the Cardinal Nation and the Red Sox Nation fan clubs of the St. Louis Cardinals and Boston Red Sox.[6]
