B-Rich Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Jeez, in looking at that strip in detail I'm shaking my head again. One of the "finalists" (which I thought would have been great, and much better than "Shuckers"), was "Biloxi Schooners". Like Colorado Rockies, Texas Rangers and Florida Panthers, it not just a placename-mascot name combo, but also refers to an actual thing in toto, a specific type of historical sailing boat design that is not in common use anymore (although the city has built two used for charters and historical purposes). To whit, this: And here I see Brandiose with a photo and cartoon drawing of a modern motorized "Biloxi Lugger" used in shrimping: I sure as heck hope they weren't planning on using THAT as the possible "Biloxi Schooner" logo. Though with the made-up BS names for New Orleans that no one here uses ("Baby Cakes" for King Cake babies, "Red Eyes" for crawfish), and the fact that the Shuckers' "oyster" shell looks more like a symmetrical clam shell, I wouldn't have put it past them.

AnPheitseog Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I hate MiLB teams using their parent club identities and names, I think I've made that fairly clear.

buzzcut Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 The next team that holds a name-the-team will be getting an entry from me.

B-Rich Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 More on the Brandiose front; the New Orleans Zephyrs organization has put out a teaser ad stating that the new name/logo is to be announced November 15th. Previously it was announced (not widely) that of the 7 listed this summer, it was down to 3 finalists: Baby Cakes, Po' Boys and Night Owls. The following graphic teaser, I think, may be not just hinting at the new name but giving it away: The use of 'BOYS (with the obvious apostrophe) pushes the idea that it will be Po' Boys. But what about the slight color differences in the background? Not sure what the darker shape is on the left-- it appears to be a close-up of a logo element-- but the lighter shape in the upper right appears to be the bottom of the Zephyrs' traditional 'Z". This could mean a couple of things. One (and I can only hope) this whole thing is a red herring, and they will come out and say "We listened to the fans, and we are sticking with Zephyrs, with new colors (a dark teal combining the historical Zephyrs colors of blue and green), new logo, fonts (like the one used above) and maybe even some better connections to the old roller coaster at Pontchartrain Beach." But part of me can just see their babbling narrative now: "As an homage to the Zephyrs history and their iconic use of "Z" not only for the last 23 years in New Orleans, but also before that in Denver, we have decided to honor and include that iconic letter by naming the team the "PO'BOYZ" 2 Quote It is what it is.

The shtick has rubbed off not because the logos aren't creative, but the fact everything is now formulaic. At 1st, the identities were unique enough to work, but that niche is gone. The fact that these "behind the scenes" looks at identities pulls up better looking stuff is what makes me sad as a fan of watching baseball no matter who is playing. Also: Does anyone know a way to get Minor-League baseball hats in Canada? I'm finding it near impossible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Rich Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 New one just released. Okay, now they're just screwing with us... Of course, referencing the "Night Owls" finalist. Cheesy. Bet the next one says "Our new name really takes the cake!" (Baby Cakes) On this teaser, I think we are seeing a stylized fleur-de-lis in the back ground. 1 Quote It is what it is.
