DustDevil61 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 A press release issued by the New Britain Rock Cats in the wake of the Yard Goats' name unveiling stated:"A Minor League Baseball player is like that humble Yard Goat. Not a glamorous job but working day in and day out away from the big city lights to assure that the Major League affiliate is kept on track."Ahhhhhhh... let the painfully-contrived justifications for the ridiculous team name begin!In before a logo of a goat swinging a railroad tool (giant wrench?) in a yard is unveiled.

DaytonBlue Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I posted this comment earlier today on an article about St. Louis' new soccer team. Wish I had heard about Yard Goats first because it's a more ridiculous example."I would much rather be FC and let a nickname develop organically than to have a "name the team" contest and end up with some crazy minor league name like the Akron Rubber Ducks (that's a real baseball team)."

LAWeaver Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I will say this, I do admire Brandiose's work as their overall performance is pretty decent. However, their "mascot swingin' a bat" logos are basically the same as Adidas using three stripes on everything they do. It's annoying at first, but after awhile, it's expected and you learn to live with them. Personally, I like them, but as I said, the idea does get a little stale after awhile 1 Quote @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanB06 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 If this is the mascot, all will be forgiven in my book: Quote Sodboy13 said: As you watch more basketball, you will learn to appreciate the difference between "defense" and "couldn't find the rim with a pair of bloodhounds and a Garmin." meet the new page, not the same as the old page.

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

TheFloridianLogoMan Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I just came back from Daytona Tortugas batting practice this afternoon, where I made a weird discovery. Along with the rest of their uniform set, which consists of green hats, green alts, green scripts and numbers, and green stirrups, their batting helmets are black. They are the THIRD team (that I know of) in Minor League Baseball that uses a predominantly green palette but uses a black helmet. Is there some unwritten/unknown rule in MiLB that forbades green batting helmets from being used? This is going to drive me crazy all season because this look was would be perfect if it wasn't for this one thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypower Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 It might just be a cost thing. It's probably cheaper to order black helmets in bulk than specially make green ones.It could also be they're a new team and couldn't get green in on time.

The Mojo Maniac Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 The High Desert Mavericks have work this black jersey for literally every single game of the season so far:From what I've heard, they got these midway through last season, along with solid white pants. So apparently they fell in love with the solid white pants and ended up ditching the home pinstripes as a result. The red alts, meanwhile, are nowhere to be seen.They more or less alternate between just two caps: the solid black former "alternate" with the cowboy logo known in inner circles as "the dude":...and its solid red Diamond Era equivalent. The classic "M" cap and the faux blast-from-the-past "HD/sun/mountain" cap are also MIA. The "dude" cap, from what I've seen and been told, was rarely used in the past. What gives?Strange things happening in the High Desert...or is it all just a mirage? Quote From San Berdoo to Kalamazoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFB Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Because with Brandiose wouldn't be just Teddy Roosevelt themed... It would be a Teddy Moose-Bear with a mustache and spectacles riding a rocking horse while carrying a comically large bat in one hand and a chicken fried steak in the other.Oh, we were so close...

LAWeaver Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I actually kinda like the swinging bear. Other than that, I'm glad nothing else from that sheet was used besides Swinging Roosevelt.

Same with the classic M cap. They had a ton of "The dude" caps, though. I assume that this is a shift they've been planning for quite some time now.

TBGKon Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Not bad....still wish they went with Morgantown as an identifier rather than West Virginia, since the name West Viriginia is used in the Sally League.The incorporation of blue and gold of WVU with the primary black is nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
