I like the little home plate in the B. Would've been cool had they put 2nd base diamond inside the top of the B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit outside their footprint, but it is what it is. Sure you can copy us. Just make some slight changes so it wont be so obvious. 3 Quote Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I thought that was just a rough concept logo at first, but apparently it's real. Why is only one of the three outline rings in gold? The name "Ballers" is also pretty underwhelming. Given all of that, plus the logo looking like a close ripoff, this really feels like a rushed attempt at giving the A's the finger. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right? This appears to be more of a publicity stunt than a serious attempt to start a baseball club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much since pro baseball has existed has there been a major league team known as the Athletics. 2 Quote Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much since pro baseball has existed has there been a major league team known as the Athletics. Exactly. If you question if "Athletics" sounds like a baseball team name, it's like asking if the Yankees wear pinstripes. And, yes, "Ballers" does sound like the name of a basketball team. Google "Ballers" or "Ballerz" and you're going to get an abundance of basketball-related results. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxwasson Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I believe the Northwest Arkansas Naturals (AA) of the Texas League should be getting new uniforms or a brand new logo revealed at 12PM CST today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastfirst107 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 It's an improvement over the last one, but there's still too much going on. The state shape not only has four strokes around it, but they tried to cram in a river! and seven trees! and hills! and a sky! and a baseball! and four different colors! The shadowing around the word "Naturals" in the primary is also too...blobby? Especially underneath the letters. Navy, gold, red and teal is quite the exuberant color scheme. 1 hour ago, monkeypower said: I quite like the primary logo and the top left N, but there's too many logos here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaGlowin Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Navy teal and gold is great on its own. The red is unnecessary and forced. Drop the red and they'd have two less logos. 3 Quote Last updated 2/26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilbert Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 They took the Minnesota Wild, and made it baseball. Honestly, great work. While it is another Blue/Red team, much to the dismay of the guy who always complains of red and blue teams, the yellow more than makes up for it to make it pop, while the teal isnt overpowering. 3 Quote Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't really tell what colors this team is supposed to be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
