YELDARBfield Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Memphis absolutely nailed it. Literally the only critique I have is that gorgeous "Redbirds" script, with the feathery detail on the 's' tail, is only featured in the primary logo. That beaut deserves to be on the front of a jersey by itself. 3 Quote Twitter • Facebook • Instagram • LinkedIn • Tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tron1013 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I saw an earlier post announcing the team name but I hadn't seen the logos etc. for the Buies Creek Astros. Buies Creek, NC will be the temporary home for the former High-A Bakersfield, CA franchise that folded and was transferred from the California League to the Carolina League while a new stadium is built in Fayetteville, NC. I would imagine a military-themed rebrand will be in the offing once they move to the new facility Fayetteville in 2019 given the proximity to Fort Bragg. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schlim Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 It's refreshing to see a studio create a well crafted original identity without having to settle on a 'mascot swinging a bat logo'. It's almost as if Simon Studios created this identity and its mascot logos as pitchers just to drop the mic at Brandiose's feet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope the rebrand helps with attendance. As a former Memphian now in St. Louis, I didn't realize how much I'd miss the Redbirds until I moved.

That might work just a little better if they didn't have a huge St. Louis logo on the sleeve, the only blotch on an otherwise sterling set. Quote The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

That and if all of their prior home jerseys didn't say "Memphis" on the front. I recognize that consistency, but that "Redbirds" mark is just too good to ignore. 1 Quote Twitter • Facebook • Instagram • LinkedIn • Tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't seen that mark until now. Frankly, that would be on the jersey sleeves instead of the primary. 1 Quote Twitter • Facebook • Instagram • LinkedIn • Tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebuy Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Damn. What a great rebrand for the Memphis Redbirds! I love the jukebox neon look and font. Brilliant. As a native Nashvillian, I hate seeing Memphis with musical notes on their hat. That should be reserved for the Sounds. The road cap is a great hat and I'll be tempted to buy one. Simon Studio has done a great job here. I believe they also did the great branding for the Daytona Tortugas. If I were a minor leauge club, I'd definitely go with Simon over Brandiose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that posting high-quality, color-corrected versions of team logos was considered to be aiding counterfeiters. Chris has been on the receiving end of C&D letters and the graphics on this site aren't as large as the ones Donovan posted. Some teams also consider their Pantones to be proprietary information they don't want shared, but I don't know if that also would have been enough. 2 Quote The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

Soblito Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I was just on the Lowell Spinners site. They have a "major" announcement for Feb. 1st. I go to their games. I have no idea what it could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
