The Asheville Tourists are playing as the Asheville Hippies for two games in the 2024 season, with an updated 'Hippies' brand this year. Overall a massive fan of this look, this color combo, and the logos. I wouldn't be opposed to seeing this look and brand become a regular in their lineup!

 

Also, is it just me or does the 'C' seem to curve to the right?

But you say it like a word, you say it letter by letter, like C-L-T, just like any other airport code. 

 

I get that, but I've heard a number of locals say that they don't like CLT solely for that connotation. Charlotte as a name is already iconic and elegant, so I'd always prefer Charlotte > CLT.

I've never been a fan of using "CLT". Say that out word out loud and tell me I'm wrong. That's just not a good phrase.

 

Moreso, I'm not a fan of this branding. It's boring and bulky to me.

Apparently the Sun Belt Conference is rebranding, with the logo having leaked after someone captured a (grainy) shot of South Alabama's practice field with a new logo on it. This comes after the Sun Belt rebranded nearly seven years ago. Attached are a few shots of the logo versus the previous iterations. There has been no comment or confirmation of this as of yet, but reports are saying this is it.
