Bmac Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 The New York Collegiate Baseball League has added an expansion team in Rome, New York. The team will be dubbed the Rome Generals.Pretty sure they took that Generals mark straight from the Jackson Generals. Or at least copied it pretty closely.

Or at least copied it pretty closely.I can't tell if it's the exact same font, just stretched - or just a similar font.Also, the "Rome" being in another "Western-inspired" font that's similar to (yet different enough from) "Generals," makes me think Rome's is a hack-and-paste Frankenlogo. The illustration (tricorne hat, ponytail) says "Patriot" more than "General" to me. I'm assuming it's lifted from somewhere - but where? (Commence scouring D3, NAIA, and other minor league logos...)

Well, at least they're not stealing it from someone.It's not good, but it's far from the worst thing in summer collegiate ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 The choice of a Revolutionary War general is perfect for the area. That part of upstate was featured in James Fenimore Cooper's "Leatherstocking" novels, which are set before, during and after that period.Here's the original:Still a stupid-looking hat.

Brian in Boston Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 The summer collegiate Prospect League's new Lafayette, Indiana-based team has settled upon a name. The club will be called the Lafayette Aviators. Three possible primary logos are under consideration.Personally, I'd go with the first logo as the primary mark and utilize the pilot from the third as a secondary logo.

sc49erfan15 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 ^Now that's an example of what good summer collegiate ball can look like. Beautiful.The first and third feel like they're two parts of the same package, given that they've got the same script (which is fantastic and miles ahead of the script in the middle one). I'm not sure where, if anywhere, there's a cap logo in those two - but they're very good primaries.I can't figure out what's going on in the middle one. It looks like just a disembodied engine with wings. There's no cockpit or... well... anything except a modern plane engine that inexplicably has wings and a tail fin. Odd.

Don't like anything about the second one - the wordmark is boring and that's a very... unique interpretation of an airplane. But the first and third both have promise.

Scaled, it is exactly what the Rome team has lifted. Not cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's why the Alamo was italicized, it was running away! 1 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mojo Maniac Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Good to hear. San Antonio is a triple-A market at the very least, IMO. My guess is it'll be either Las Vegas or Colorado Springs that will pack up shop and become that eventual PCL Missions club. All other clubs seem pretty firmly entrenched and/or popular.

The_Admiral Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 By the way, I took a wheelbarrow of crap for criticizing that logo and the idea of italicizing a building and I'm still very sour over the whole incident. I feel slightly vindicated, but certainly not vindicated enough.
