The_Admiral Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 6 hours ago, kimball said: AAA: Go traditional, you can get a little original but Storm Chasers or Baby Cakes should not be allowed in AAA. Names related to the parent club are cool, but no Iowa Cubs or Omaha Royals please. I mostly agree, but allow for a handful of parent names here (same with the AHL). I like every Braves affiliate being the Braves, for instance, and I don't mind the Iowa Cubs, but "Oklahoma City Dodgers" clangs to me in a way those don't. But yes, no Storm Chasers, Baby Cakes, or Iron Pigs. RIP the greatest AAA name, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons. EDIT: in checking the page for the International League, I was reminded that the Norfolk Tides updated, and my god are they ever hideous. 4 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilSox Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I have very mixed feelings about this. I'm glad they branded as Milwaukee, but the dairy industry has always been a more Northern WI thing. It'd be like a Phily team naming itself after the steel industry or a NYC team naming itself in reference to Niagara Falls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Yeah, I think there’s something of a disconnect between “Milwaukee” and “Milkmen”. Unless they continue to lean on the “deliverers of milk” theme more than “producers of milk”, in which case Milwaukee could be a good choice for the 1950s associations, be it the Braves’ glory days or Happy Days. Not enthusiastic about what we’ve seen so far - Black and white can be a striking color combination but can also be exceedingly boring. And with the complicated logos shown, it’s not a great choice. Here’s the uniform set: Bonus points for a cream alt, but no “Milwaukee” jersey? The cap logos are pretty terrible - they really need an “M” logo. Something better than the M on their word mark, which is awkward. 1 Quote The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilSox Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 As I said in the other thread, the Milkmen name feels out of place for Milwaukee. Granted, this might be a best case scenario considering many of the other names. This was botched from day one. At least the logo isn't terrible.

MilSox Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 They're going with the slogan "Baseball that's udderly different." I think there's a market for a lower level of pro baseball in Metro MKE. But I can't say this brand makes me, a lifelong city of Milwaukee resident, want to support this team.

Sodboy13 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 They should sign an Australian player and give him a special, shiny, metallic jersey. A Golden Guernsey, if you will. 3 Quote On 1/25/2013 at 1:53 PM, 'Atom said: For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head.

Gothamite Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I think I may be in the other camp - the name is fine, but the logo and uniforms are lacking. I do question whether people in Franklin will be eager to support a “Milwaukee” team, but think that could be overcome by a more interesting logo set. As it is, I don’t know if the design will appeal enough to Milwaukeeans for them to support the team either. Quote The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
