A simple "J" is much more e This made me laugh out loud. Another team with a great identity and uniforms are the Louisville Bats: I'd prefer if they had a less generic color scheme, but I really like the scripts and logos. What bothers me here is the inconsistency of the number placement on the right two jerseys. Why is it lower on the red alternate and higher on the blue alternate? Both are using chest logos of the same size and placement, so that just seems like a poor decision. Use one style or the other, not both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other team do this? And most importantly ( ) is that tomahawk on the guy in the middle of the last photo not placed wrong/too low? These are the minor league affiliates of the Braves. They are the Rome Braves (Low-A), Mississippi Braves (AA), and the Danville Braves (Rookie-Affiliate). Before the Brandiose wave came in and rebranded everything into overly detailed cartoon logos, alot of teams in the minors wore the uniforms of their parent clubs, with a different hat with their club's logo/letter on the front.

Others worthy of the list are the San Antonio Missions and the Arkansas Travelers. I agree with your choices, but both teams have had even better looks in the past: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 That wordmark is a mess. By filling in the insides of all the lower-case letters with the outline, it reduces the word to an ugly black blob. Which might be apropos, but it's not good design. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were great...they're undoubtedly a Dodgers' affiliate, but it's not so close that it's a "clone." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't take themselves too seriously, and have injected a lot of local flavour into the brand. It's great, but isn't "MLB caliber". Are you frickin' kidding me? A "perfect minor league identity"? No one in town wanted a name change to begin with, and polls afterwards showed around 80% of people in the area disapproved of the name. "A lot of local flavor?" The name "Baby Cakes" is not even a thing; it's a derivation made up by out-of towners of a king cake baby. It would be like me going to Philly and coming up with the name "Steak Cheeses". You are right; the new ownership/management does not take themselves too seriously, to the point of making the team name a laughingstock in their own city. About the only Cakes merch you see around town is worn by hipster transplants and what I (generously) would term as "idiots". It is what it is.

This was classy, classic, and damn near perfection. I miss the Beavers, I miss PGE Park (pre-Timbers reconfig) and I miss the hope and dream that once existed of bringing MLB to Portland.

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 The Hops look good. They are a good example of a Minor League team having a wacky fun name without being too over the top in Brandiose fashion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I think the Mobile BayBears wouldn't look out of place in the MLB: However, if they were an MLB team, I'd assume they'd wear this cap as the primary and relegate the cap with the bear head logo on it to Sunday alternate status.
