panthers_2012 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 The team I work for, the Lake Erie Crushers that play in the Frontier League, are getting new logos and new uniforms next year. Here's their current logo.. Which is not great IMO. We're probably getting a new color scheme, but our owner is keeping his options open.

It's a good logo for like a tournament but doesn't translate into a good uniform look. It's too horizontal. I still like the look though.

The previous owner was absent and ran the franchise into the ground and the new owner is very engaging with the fans and trying to build it back up. He's told me that he doesn't want to change the logo just to change it, he wants to keep the identity going and change it to reflect our back story. 1 hour ago, MBurmy said: They BETTER have purple in the color scheme...the team was named after wine crushers... I'm surprised you know what are name is based off of. Most people in the Cleveland area don't even know why were named the Crushers!!

If the team really wants to get specific, it should adopt a color scheme of Concord Grape, Catawba Grape, and Chardonnay. On second thought, that may be too "refined a palette" for an independent minor-pro baseball team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burmy Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Staten Island Yankees release five Name-the-Team Finalists. Bridge Trolls - Why not just the "Trolls"? The marketing campaign could write itself. Heroes - Perhaps the best "quality" of the names...I'd wanted a team to call themselves the New York Heroes ever since the aftermath of 9/11. Killer Bees - So they did get a Wu-Tang name after all (I had submitted Shaolin Warriors)...problem is, there's already two MiLB teams called "Bees."Pizza Rats - The best of the "silly" names, there WILL be lots of merch sold from that brand!Rock Pigeons - Again, why not just the "Pigeons"? It can also be a popular brand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heroes is ok but not great (probably a lot of alternate hats). "Staten Island Rock Pigeons" sounds like an alternative game to R-P-S. Quote Smart is believing half of what you hear.

Naming a baseball team Heroes is the most Staten Island thing to ever Staten Island and thus why I'm going to guess that will win this competition 1 Quote Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I say this not as a fan of baseball or of the Yankees, but as an opponent of stupidity.) Also, in baseball, the Killer Bees are the Pirates of Bonds and Bonilla (and Bell and Berryhill and Belliard and Bream). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmac Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I'm predicting it'll be Heroes, with a play on the hero sandwich. A patriotic sandwich swinging a baseball bat. 2 Quote https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGM13 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 These names are getting way too specific while simultaneously meaning nothing at all. None of those are any good, except maybe Killer Bees. 1 Quote GO OILERS-GO BLUE JAYS-GO ESKIMOS-GO COLTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentColon2 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 No doubt Heroes will win out. While I do love Pizza Rats, the infamous pizza rat scandal happened in Manhattan and not Staten Island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
