Looks like the Great Lakes Loons (Dodgers-A) are unveiling new logos on February 13th (http://www.milb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20160112&content_id=161698204&fext=.jsp&vkey=news_t456&sid=t456):

Looks like they're keeping their colors, which is surprising for a Dodgers affiliate as of late, but it is good that they are keeping them. I've always liked dark green and red together. For reference, here's their current logo:

Wow...that's a funky number font. It almost looks like it's moving or 3D.

My best guess is that it's supposed to vaguely resemble webbed feet?

I see numbers floating on water. Very reminiscent of a loon floating on a lake.

my thoughts as well. feels very brandiose to me.

Believe it or not, Catchers & Pitchers report to camp in about a month (as of this writing).

Minor League teams are also gearing up.  In Detroit, they have set up three Independent teams for the 2016 season.

The logos (an artist from around the CC boards) style looks familiar.  Well here you go;

I'm liking the Unicorns logo.

These are fantastic. I just hope they used the glow-in-the-dark thread for the neon embroidery. That would put this identity over the top.

It's like watching the hellish undead creakily shuffling their way out of the flames of a liposuction clinic dumpster fire.

Story B: Red Wings go undefeated and score 100 goals in every game. They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

There's the "swinging" logo we expected from a minor-league rebrand. 

 

I presume the fisherloon and winterloon logos are special event?

 

Yep, a "Summer" and "Winter" Loon.

 

But the swinging logo used here actually has ties to the team this time.... here's the old one:

I like the Loons package a lot, especially the fisherman and the interlocking "GL". The old one was bad (Chicago for a font on a professional sports team?), but Brandiose really showed good work here in doing a proper cleanup instead of trashing it and going xxxx-treme. And, as pointed out by the mothership, the old logo package had a swinging loon, too. So while that may be a Brandiose hallmark/crutch, at least there's precedent on this one.

The swinging loon looks like he has a diaper on hahaha. 

That's what I was going to post. It just stands out so much. So little white used elsewhere.

 

I like the logo. A little 'too much' for logos for me. But, i do like the alternate winter/summer loons.
