Gothamite Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Before they became the Flying Tigers, Detroit's Lakeland, Florida affiliate.That reminds me - the Connecticut Tigers. Was supposed to be a temporary identity for a relocated team, but the fans loved it so much it quickly permanent. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Waffles Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I'm not a huge fan of farm teams completely taking on their parent club's identity, but I absolutely love it when they tweak it to give it local flavor or diminutiveness, like in the following examples:The Columbus Confederate Yankees:The Moultrie Colt .22s:Newark Co-Pilots: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Three great examples, Waffles. That Co-Pilots one actually outlived the Pilots themselves.Here's another - the Bakersfield Dodgers.They've re-branded a couple times since then, but the cap logo lives on, having been mistakenly incorporated into the Cooperstown Collection style guide.

Evil Doctor Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 There's something unsettling about that Rockford Expos logo. It's vaguely...tenticular.And yet only slightly more stupid than the parent club's "elb".It was an "edb" as in expos du baseball.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stampman Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Quad CityOn of my favourite modifications, the Omaha Ak-Sar-Ben Knights...The Quad City ones were predictable and could have been better, but the Knights one actually was kind of cool.

BigBubba Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Nope, not that either.Terrible logo.Yeh, um, no. I'm correct. It's so clearly obvious that the thing is an "M" for "Montréal", with an "e" for "Expos" and a "b" for "baseball". No "d". No "j". No "l". An "e", an "M", and a "b". That is all.

IceCap Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Oh that's a trip down memory lane. That was during my "I'm not going to use capital letters when I type because it's the internet" phase.Also this...This is why I think it's a failed design. I like it, it's aesthetically pleasing and I respect the team's history, but it's spectacularly unclear.
