Brian in Boston Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 As I wrote elsewhere... "Claw marks EVERYwhere. The white jersey paired with the RED pants is a choice. The grizzly in the various logos seems a bit... stiff... disjointed... awkwardly-rendered. All in all, I could give a passing grade to the grey road uni that Vanilla Ice is sporting, but the rest adds up to a BIG swing-and-a-miss in my estimation. Well... Brandiose did have the Traverse City Pit Spitters unveiled yesterday. So, at least they have THAT goin' for them." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsLogos.Net News Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Durham Bulls to rebrand as Durham Lollygaggers for a game February 5, 2019 - 17:13 PMIf the early minor league promotional announcements are any indication, we’re seeing teams get creative with their single-game promotional brands this year—perhaps moving away from the food-based brands that have swept through the leagues in recent years.

leopard88 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 That is one of my favorite scenes in the movie (out of many great scenes), but this still seems like a little much. 1 Quote Most Liked Content of the Day -- February 15, 2017, August 21, 2017, August 22, 2017 ///// Proud Winner of the CCSLC Post of the Day Award -- April 8, 2008 Originator of the Upside Down Sarcasm Smilie -- November 1, 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopard88 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I will only accept it if the starting pitcher is required to wear a garter belt . . . rose in the front. 2 Quote Most Liked Content of the Day -- February 15, 2017, August 21, 2017, August 22, 2017 ///// Proud Winner of the CCSLC Post of the Day Award -- April 8, 2008 Originator of the Upside Down Sarcasm Smilie -- November 1, 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBGKon Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Maybe someone more local can help me out, but could it be possible that the Kannapolis name be changed to a different regional locale. I know the team was the Piedmont Boll Weevils, so could Piedmot be an option again? Is there another regional moniker that could be used? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have said that Kannapolis will be part of the name but loved the Piedmont Boll Weevils name. The way MiLB branding has been the past couple years, Boll Weevils would be a good fit. 1 Quote Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandMooreArt Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 well thats lame. man if there's one sports franchise i'd love to have a re-branding (new logos/identity) shot at its that one. so much potential 2 Quote GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilSox Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Yea. Don't get rid of the name, just refresh the brand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumpygremlin Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Honestly, I wouldn't change anything. Dale Earnhardt is from there, and a huge name. Not to mention that famed NASCAR artist Sam Bass designed the logo. They should play up the NASCAR connection as much as possible. The only thing I'd consider, if anything, is to have Bass do a new logo set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kannapolis was the quintessential North Carolina mill town, home to Cannon Mills (the town is literally named after the company, Cannon + polis = CKannapolis). I think of towels when I think of Cannon Mills, but apparently they made socks and hosiery as well. Truth be told, I've never loved the "Intimidators" name. The Earnhardt tribute is great, but the name itself is clunky. You try saying "Kannapolis Intimidators" 5 times fast. And yeah, the logo is pretty bad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kannapolis Cannons sounds like a perfectly fine, classic name for a minor league club. You know that's NOT what Brandiose is gonna do if they get a hold of it, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, the mill closed 20ish years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 You have a lot of potential here, but if it's Brandoise... they will probably ruin it for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
