  1. Hartford Yard Goats it is. Was there ever really any doubt?

    According to team owner Josh Solomon, the final choice came down to Yard Goats and Whirlybirds. River Hogs finished third, Praying Mantis fourth, and Hedgehogs was fifth.

    Consultant Chuck Domino says the logo will be "unveiled in a couple of weeks - a month - down the road."

    For the life of me, I can't imagine that it would take an entire month for Brandiose to produce a package of logos that feature a goat with a surly expression wearing a train engineer's blue-and-white-striped cap. After all, the secondary mark depicting said goat following through on a titanic "swinging-from-the-hooves" at-bat likely already exists in their in-house stock-image file.

    I dunno, I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with Yard Goats.

    I don't see why this logo gets as much hate as it does...for some reason, everybody loves everybody else's "classic" mascot logos, but hates this one. (I love 'em ALL, and this is no exception...has a unique touch to the old-school format)

    If this were an alternate logo I'd be okay with it. This just doesn't look like it should be the logo that shows up everyewhere.

  3. There's an irony to it for me...it doesn't make sense, but then again it does. I've only ever seen a few around in my life, but it doesn't surprise me in the sense that it's truly one of the more iconic hats in MiLB. Lots of people draw blanks when they see many other minor league caps, but quite often when they see those eyes, they say "hey, the Storm!"

    And for some background: Lake Elsinore is a popular place for extreme sports--motocross, BMX, skydiving, etc. To me at least, that cap just screams "extreme sports," with the fierce look and black and red colorway. That's how I see it, at least. I'm willing to bet that more than a few kids at the bike track or skate park wear those caps, it just "fits."

    Isn't the Lexington Legends mustache hat the biggest seller?
