Minor/Independent/Collegiate League Baseball Logo/Uniform Changes

[FiddySicks 11,363]

Oh look, navy and red. What a unique color combination for a baseball team

[Gothamite 24,600]

And can we talk about the silliness of "since 1888"?

[the admiral 29,114]

Since the Alamo isn't a tall building, the slant doesn't really bother me as much as it would if it were a skyscraper.

So buildings can be skewed at 15-degree angles that they're not actually at as long as they aren't tall? MOD EDIT It makes no sense whatsoever. What are they doing, trying to show that there's something progressive and "forward-facing" about a historic building? There's one historic building I can think of that should be drawn so that it's leaning, and it's not because it's progressive.

Hey, my running shoes look like the ones the guy in the home uniform is wearing.

...so you're saying you like it? or no? You'll have to work on stating your opinions clearer next time.

Does it bother you that the Alamo isn't really blue?

It's an identity for a baseball team. Baseball is a sport. Sports like baseball are about action. Italicizing things connotes action. Of course, the Alamo itself, unlike the historic building you referenced (we assume you are talking about a certain structure in Pisa), does not lean, but sometimes creative individuals use this thing called "artistic license," a hypothetical certificate of sorts that entitles the holder to not necessarily have to be literal in their depictions. I cannot argue with most of the flaws that the Creamer community has already pointed out about this particular identity, but I do not agree that the building being rendered in an italicized fashion is worthy of scorn.

[the admiral 29,114]

Are you srsly dropping the royal we on me? condescending quotation marks? "hypothetical certificate of sorts"? Who the hell are you, Brian In Boston's little brother?

Yeah, I'm not a :censored:ing idiot, I know what artistic license is, but what it isn't is carte blanche to do crap that doesn't make any sense. You can connote action and excitement without italicizing a building, which is plainly dumb.

[PhilliesPhan1325 65]

Wow! What an absolute surprise! Brandiose included a swinging mascot logo in their set. They do that so rarely.

[teddthebucfan 246]

I love it

Am I the only who sees more of an "SH" more than "SA" in the new logo, or am I just crazy?

[-kj 2,410]

Why can't it be both?

...but, no, I see an A.

[Brian in Boston 2,837]

Who the hell are you, Brian In Boston's little brother?

Clearly not, as any relative of mine would possess the intellect and taste necessary to share my opinion that rendering a building at a skewed angle in order to denote action and excitement is a poor design choice.

[CubsFanBudMan 399]

I love it

The white, gray and blue uniforms look fine, but the other three alts look like they would be difficult to play baseball in.

[kewp80 64]

What the hell is that green guy supposed to be? A moldy burrito dressed as Davy Crockett?

[PackerFan98 91]

He's a jalapeño.

[TheRicSlick 844]

He's a jalapeño.

Because....Mexican?

[the admiral 29,114]

Because he's mad at you.

HE'S JALAPENO FACE!!!!

[CubsFanBudMan 399]

Just looked it up... Ballapeno.

Ballapeno.

[TheRicSlick 844]

I wonder what happened to Ballapeno's friend, Henry the Taco.

[The Mojo Maniac 50]

He probably suffocated inside that zero-breathability costume amidst a 6-run rally in an afternoon game

[jrodsep 570]

Oh my lord, I miss read and thought that his name was Harry the Taco.
