Brian in Boston Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 18 hours ago, bigtex said: Corpus Christi Hooks going as the "Blue Ghosts" on June 21 in honor of the USS Lexington. https://twitter.com/cchooks/status/964229811932684288 That's terrific news. The Blue Ghosts moniker was under consideration for the team's identity prior to its 2005 debut season. Personally, I'd hoped that it would be selected, as it is a truly unique name with ties to an important local landmark. I love the Blue Ghosts logos that have been unveiled for the weekend. They capture the feel of the crudely-drawn tattoos that many U.S. Navy personnel opted to get during the World War II era. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame, because the "Tampa" mark is great. But the way the "r" and "p" interact is just... woof. I don't see the problem here. I like the way the P nestles in the extended arm of the R. But that T from the two wordmarks needs to be the cap logo. Just the T, no fishtail; and there's no point at all in an additional T logo, the one made of a hook. Most important, wearing that busy blotch of a logo on the cap is a mistake; I think it clashes aesthetically with the rest of the uniform. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most important, wearing that busy blotch of a logo on the cap is a mistake; I think it clashes aesthetically with the rest of the uniform. In a perfect world, a identifiable letter should be the cap logo, or at least be an alternate, but you have to keep in mind that minor league primary caps with generic logos are becoming the norm. This is because little league teams can adopt these monikers and buy the licensed merchandise which makes money for the individual teams. I know a bunch of local leagues in Florida do this and personally I think its a great idea. If you're team is the Cardinals, Yankees, or Braves and your little league is in Nebraska for example, having to wear a cap with an STL, NY, or A doesnt really represent your team name. But if you have a league made of AquaSox, Storm, Grasshoppers, or Seawolves you can wear a cap representing your team name as it has a representing logo.

Nestles into the extended arm, turning a P into a B. Which is the problem. "Tarpons" is not a strong enough word to easily read when one of the letters is so fuzzy. 56 minutes ago, Ferdinand Cesarano said: But that T from the two wordmarks needs to be the cap logo.

I actually don't mind the fishtail-T as a supplement to the wordmarks. And if they need a mascot cap logo, so be it. But two is more than enough, and the hook just doesn't mesh well with the rest of the set. Quote The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

But I have to say that I don't get why this reasoning applies to logos of a single letter. What I mean is that a cap with the graphic logo of the Tarpons can be used only by a youth team whose name is "Tarpons". Whereas, a cool T logo could be used by little-league teams called Tarpons, Tigers, Tomcats, Timberwolves, Thunderbolts, etc., could it not?

True but most little league teams nowadays arent creating their own names, around here its either the Major league club names or wacky minor league names. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oso Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 That Corpus Christi Blue Ghosts hat logo is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebuy Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I'm extremely impressed with everything the Corpus Christi Hooks do. Their 70's fauxback set is so good that it's actually better than their actual set. The Blue Ghosts set is executed perfectly. How amazing is the CC logo in that Blue Ghosts set? I really like the Tarpons set as well. Three of the hats are fine. The light blue doesn't fit the rest of the set. Simon studio did a great job of giving the Tampa team their own identity while it's easy to see it's a Yankees affiliate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that they worked with you to resolve it but still insisted upon using part of the stolen logo is ridiculous. My guess: they already had a bunch of merch with the new wordmark.
