Pretty unique colours, but yet another generic name. Also it was a missed opportunity to not incorporate the arch into the shape of the badge. The shape of the curve at the top doesn't even match the shape of the arch.

They don't seem to have issues with the Gatineau Olympiques.

The Belleville Senators have unveiled a red version of their inaugural jerseys. Surprisingly the team's social media channels have been replying to people saying that these are actually the new home jerseys, with the black set demoted to alternate. I like this as a once in a while thing, but black should still be the primary look. I also think they messed up with the numbers. They should be black outlined in white, then red, just like the B. It would continue the pattern of having the number colour match the bottom stripe on the chest.

The Raptors made all the right choices here. They didn't include any unnecessary gold in the banner other than the trophy itself, and they also were able to avoid the temptation of throwing the NORTH chevron on it like they did with the rings. The player names around the outside is a nice touch too.

So if you name your team the Bucks you aren't allowed to use green or have a deer in your logo? I understand the tweet isn't supposed to be taken too seriously, but if you want to make jokes about junior hockey teams ripping off pro logos, there are dozens of better examples out there.

Yes, those have both been changed. I couldn't remember if someone mentioned that earlier when the dark jerseys were first unveiled.

The Ottawa 67's made some changes to their white jerseys with the switch to the new template. The sleeve yoke has been straightened out so that it no longer overlaps with the longer nameplates, but for some reason the black piping along the yoke is now only on the front of the jersey. They've also switched from white to red numbers on the sleeves. Last season: This season:

This was a missed opportunity for Peterborough to return to their classic look: Just throw the lift-lock logo on the shoulders instead of Pete.

I believe he was referring to the Firebirds choice As for the Eagles update, I actually liked the 'Screaming' prefix. Without it you have a much more generic identity, especially with the new logo looking like it was pulled from the create-a-team mode of a video game. I do really like the alternate logo though.

I think if the MLB is actually serious about having a two city team (which I doubt they are), it would make the most sense to move the Rays to Montreal full time, and to have the Marlins split their home games between Miami & the Tampa Bay area. These are the two worst markets when it comes to attendance, so in theory they'd both draw better with half as many games to sell, plus the logistics would be much simpler (players live in the same state all season, no tax/tv/radio complications). They could either revert back to being the Florida Marlins, or come up with something new that would still appease both fanbases.

I'm always bothered seeing a pinstriped baseball jersey that uses a plain white nameplate. I don't believe any of the current MLB teams commit this offence, but the old Marlins & Mets are noticeable examples:

Much like the Redblacks, this team has managed to take a very poor nickname and give them a great logo. I especially like the cap logo.

Ottawa's new Can-Am League franchise held a press conference today to announce the team's name and, in my mind, have committed a bit of a sports faux pas. The team will be known as the Ottawa Champions. http://ottawacitizen.com/sports/baseball/pro-baseball-is-back-in-ottawa-and-theyre-already-champions There's a reason that you don't see teams named the Champions, Winners, Scorers, Great Ones, etc. You aren't going to always be champions so you're just giving fuel to the fire of anyone looking to make fun of the team. Baseball in Ottawa has already become something of a joke. They really aren't making things easy on themselves.

The Rapidz set up shop in the Can-Am league after the Lynx left town. After one season they went bankrupt and were being run by the league. This was when they were rebranded as the Voyageurs. The new name never saw the field as the team suspended operations before the start of the '09 season. The stadium was also home to the Fat Cats from 2010-2012.

Stop me if you've heard this story before. A group has managed to bring minor league baseball back to Ottawa for the 2015 season. The as of yet unnamed franchise will be playing in the Can-Am league and is looking for suggestions from the public for a team name. Ideas can be submitted to info@ottawaprobaseball.com. The creator of the winning name will receive a pair of season tickets along with "other great prizes that show off the new name". So if you've always wanted to name a franchise that will be around for a couple of years drop them a line. Remember the winning suggestion will likely need to be bilingual-friendly.

I like the Rbk Edge jerseys. I prefer the tighter fit and I love the addition of the NHL logo in the collar. My only suggestion would be to use the team's colours like MLB does with its logo on jerseys and hats. And while most of the new uniforms have been hit-or-miss I thik some of the new templates really work (like the Panthers). I think that the best look the canucks had was their pre-edge jerseys (I am fully aware that this contradicts my last point). The colours are great and using Native imagery is a direction that they should have gone for with the rest of their logo package. I dislike the Senators use of the centurion logos and the colour gold. Most of the Sens concepts I see on this board put a greater emphasis on the colour gold. I wish that they would drop it the gold and the logo altogether. I mean their logo isn't even a Roman senator it's a centurion. I wish they would just use a barberpole jersey with the O on the front. Seeing a team using double blue does not make me want to kill myself, although the Florida Panthers using it bothers me. As long as a team can make it look good, which most of the teams that have used it have done, I have no problem with it. In fact, I would say the same about any colour scheme that people on this board claim is "overused". If it looks good I don't care. I prefered the last two Jazz identities that focused on the mountain logo as opposed to the musical note logo. I mean at this point the Jazz can't change their name, so they might as well have a logo and colours that represent their location rather than a logo and colours that match their nickname and have none of it represent the location. That's all I can think of right now but I'm sure that I have a few other unpopular opinions.
