panthers_2012 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) Frontier League announced their schedule today. Notably missing is the Traverse City Beach Bums and the Normal Cornbelters. The Beach Bums, along with their stadium, were sold to a group led by the Midwest League West Michigan Whitecaps and will play, under a new team name, in the Northwoods League next season. Here's the statement from the Beach Bums: https://traversecitybeachbums.com According to this article, the Cornbelters might be moving to the collegiate league level, but no official statement yet from the Cornbelters organization. https://ballparkdigest.com/2018/09/27/normal-cornbelters-no-decision-on-2019-league/ I'm very upset that the Cornbelters are leaving the FL. They were my second favorite team in the league.

If I were the new owners, I would keep the Beach Bums name, but get new logos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Cherry Pickers! haha A cherry name could lead to an interesting reddish black color. *dreams* 1 Quote Last updated 2/26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My parents and my brother all live in Traverse City...something with cherries is appropriate, along with anything related to lakes. (Lots of water and boats there.)

Green27 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Never heard of this; an MILB team that hasn't released its identity is having to deal with fake merch sites. Lazy Trash Pandas gear being sold online. https://whnt.com/2018/10/21/rocket-city-trash-pandas-counterfeit-merchandise-popping-up-online/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I took from the article that the logos aren’t legit.

buzzcut Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Interesting news coming out of Nashville. Sounds talking about a "remaster" of their branding. 1 Quote The CCSLC's resident Geelong Cats fan. Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends.

Dilbert Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Or at the very least the current logo in a roundel like the Rangers. Nashville already has a solid brand 1 Quote Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBGKon Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I hope the Sounds aren’t doing too much...they just rebranded a couple of years ago. It’s not like they used A’s colors before and they want to change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilSox Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 A recoloring of the logos would make sense. They wore colors very similar to the Rangers throughout the 80s and 90s. Let's hope this "remaster" doesn't meant much more than that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
