scottysprings Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Looks like a complete mess to me; very amateur looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Three distinct geometrical shapes? Whatta mess. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMac12 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Not good. And the term "national championship" in a triple-a game seems out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 That doesn't bother me any more than using the term for the BCS or NCAA tournament.But can the PCL have a logo again, please?

The_Admiral Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 The field looks like it's off-center. Is that Featured Item for the "National Championship 2012" font? Jets are using that. I like it, good font. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Cunningham Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 It just has an entirely incomplete feel to it. And that Copperplate "Triple-A" looks so last-minute tacked on. It doesn't even bother me so much that it's Copperplate; the type is just too plain compared to the rest of the logo. Anyone could have added that in Paint, for example. It adds to the incompleteness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDixonDesign Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Agree with the "incomplete" feel. I really like the idea of using the Right field "Bull" signage as it ties it to the team and ballpark at once. The National Championship is font, I believe it a freeware font. Which is fine, but just a bit amateur. I do like the idea of the striped grass, but the colors contrast too much, and the Copperplate leaves a bit to be desired. It's certainly a great start, but could use some tweaks. The corporate aspect just kills it as well from a purist standpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaxNoles Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 The really need to drop the "national championship" thing. Triple A World Series, or just Triple A Championship sounds better and more appropriate than "national championship", which makes it sound very amateurish.

DaytonBlue Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I don't understand why they don't do some sort of AAA World Series at the participating teams' parks. It could be best-of-five in a 2-3 format, with the team whose league wins the all-star game (if they must keep that) choosing between hosting games 1/2 or 3/4/5.

The minor league clubs probably don't make enough money to travel back and forth across the country to make a series like that work. I'm sure the big league clubs don't want to shell out the cash required to make the travel happen for a bunch of farm team players. Plus a single game saves time at a point in the major league season when rosters expand and AAA empties out into the parent clubs. I don't know a whole lot about the baseball operations side of things, but my guess is that a team would rather have their top AAA players getting time in the majors than playing in the Tostitos Triple A Baseball GoDaddy.com National Championship Extravaganza Presented by Gildan, made possible by MLB 2K12 The Show, the Road to the Majors, only for Playstation 3. Dot com.That's my guess anyway.So far as that logo goes: the dominant color ends up being black, which they've fortunately used in two different shades (really, guys?). The mowing stripes on the ball field just look goofy without the whole field being present, and Durham doesn't have a distinct enough field to be recognizable using solely the far third of the outfield (if they're using a generic outfield, who uses an outfield as part of a logo? Why not just use a conventional, recognizable diamond? Maybe if they had something crazy shaped like Houston's or Anaheim's or something...). Too many fonts, the bottom third of the logo is a cluttered mess and... just... ugh. Awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
