Brian in Boston Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Bluefield's Appalachian League team has been rebranded as the Ridge Runners. The new identity pays homage to the region's rich railroad history. The Ridge Runners' home - Bowen Field at Peters Park - straddles the state line of Virginia and West Virginia, as did the namesake of the team. Beginning in 1964, the original Ridge Runner No. 36 locomotive - the world's smallest interstate railroad - circumnavigated a one-mile loop atop East River Mountain, half in Virginia and half in West Virginia. The train now sits just beyond Bowen Field's right field wall. Today, fans of Ridge Runners baseball can hear the sounds of excited passengers as the train makes its loop through Lotito Park. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty good...though it does look like Bluefield_ And for some reason it looks to me like "Bluefield" and "Ridge Runners" are at different angles, but may just be my eyes.

Dynasty Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 The Appy League identities are all looking better than what has mostly rolled into the main minor leagues in the last few years (I won't say who's responsible for that mainly because I bash them enough). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc49erfan15 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I love the Spartanburgers! The Beacon is a well-known "drive-in"/burger/fried everything restaurant that I'd wager at least half of all native South Carolinians (at least those upstate of the fall line) have patronized at least once. My only gripe is that the burger doesn't have chili and cheese on it. The chili cheese a-plenty is what I picture when I think of the Beacon - even though it's apparently not their "signature burger" according to their site. The fries/bats logo is fantastic. Overall, I think the identity is perfect for a collegiate league. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schlim Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I'm not going to cry for Brandiose after they've been rolling out the same local flavor/unique name/snarling logo formula (with hometown research visit!!) for years now, but does this mean MLB is trying to lock out all independent designers from their minor league system now? I wonder what cut rates MLB can offer to their new affiliates to make them change their minds or if it's clubs simply agreeing with Sodboy's thoughts above. From the article: “Now that the PDL system has been formalized and we are officially an affiliated team, we have the chance to collaborate directly with Major League Baseball’s branding, licensing, and apparel experts and their vast connections around the nation to bring our new team identity to life in even bigger and better ways,” the team said on its website. “We’re excited to be the first Minor League team to have the opportunity to take advantage of these resources to showcase the team identity chosen by our fans on a national stage. To allow time to take full use of these new resources, we will be unveiling the new team name following the 2021 season.” 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
