<P> The Biscuits became Montgomery 's first Major League Baseball - affiliated team since 1980 , when the Montgomery Rebels , a Detroit Tigers affiliate , played their final season in the Southern League at Montgomery 's Paterson Field . The Biscuits ' owners , Sherrie Myers and Tom Dickson , were selected from six different ownership groups during an extensive search for a public - private partner by the City of Montgomery . Myers and Dickson selected the team 's nickname from over 4,000 entries in a `` name the team '' contest , due in part to tying into indigenous affiliation and potential marketing and pun possibilities ( for example , `` Hey , Butter , Butter , Butter '' or the team 's souvenir store , the `` Biscuit Basket '' ) . Several successful minor league teams have campy , quirky names to relate to families and kids . During games , biscuits are shot from an air cannon , into the stands . The official team colors are Butter and Blue . </P>
