C-Squared Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Purists aren't crazy about it, but unique branding could be a goldmine for teams like these who would otherwise generate zero interest outside their regions. 3 Quote My TeePublic Shop My Instagram Art Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingo. And why should it matter? The vast majority of baseball teams, especially pro ones, will continue to feature traditional looks. Let these guys have their fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I am a purist and I like it. Lower-tier teams having goofy names is great. Big-League teams obviously should not touch names like this, but I definitely am OK with it for teams like this.

Who's objecting? The minor leagues have traditionally been host to a slew of colorful and quirky names. Quote The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

It wasn't a record for Mumford and Sons, it was a Zephyr Field stadium attendance record. Also, Ad, although Metairie (actual site of Zephyr Field) is a suburb of New Orleans, and thus has backyard crawfish boils, drive-thru daiquiri stands, parades for any and all reasons, and lots of great little food joints, it is still a suburb filled with suburbanites and their middle-class America pop culture tastes (although they definitely like jazz, zydeco, funk, and R&B more than your usual American suburbanite). Me? I didn't go near that place that evening... Quote It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlazerBlaze Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 The irony of it is they play in Grayson Stadium which the city of Savannah is very proud of being an old stadium experience like Wrigley. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Man, $375 per seat (~$16 per game) gets you close seats, unlimited food and drink, special parking area, ability to trade in tickets for games you won't make, merchandise discount, runners to get your food, etc. And also the mascot is named Split. You can't beat that. Edit: You can also get the same package for only a five game commitment for $15 per game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It costs less per game to get a week's worth of tix than to get a season's worth?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 A couple of bits of minor league baseball branding news to discuss: First, the finalist identities in the Binghamton Mets' rebranding campaign have been announced, with the majority drawing upon Binghamton's position as "The Carousel Capital of the World". In addition to Bullheads (a nod to the bullhead catfish in the Susquehanna River) and Gobblers (recognizing the abundance of wild turkeys in the area, as well as the importance of the hunting culture to the region), B-Mets fans can choose from the carousel-inspired Rocking Horses, Rumble Ponies, Stud Muffins, and Timber Jockeys. Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Cyclones will rebrand as the Coney Island Franks for a single night - Sunday, July 3rd - to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the establishment of the Nathan's Famous hot dog stand, as well as to mark the Nathan's Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest on July 4th.

My high school mascot was the Gobblers, which I always felt was unique, so I'm not inclined to be excited by another organization adopting it. That said, I'd go with Stud Muffins, because why not.

Cool idea/gimmick. I sure hope for that night they switch to the iconic Green and Yellow (maybe with a touch of red) color scheme of Nathan's. Quote It is what it is.
