Burmy Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 They're gonna keep unveiling new ones until November 17. Although discussion kinda fell by the wayside on the mothership after the first day, there have been some dandies and doozies unveiled ever since...which stand out to you all? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigers Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 When will it end? Disney, you ruined Marvel and you decide that these gimmicky things will make it all better but it doesn't. Please stop. 2 Quote Logano wins BOWL before Chargers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumway Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I understand that they're supposed to be illustrative and comic styled, but I just don't they're....logo-y enough, if that makes sense. They just don't look like they'll look bold enough on a hat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hormone Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I think the somerset patriots is the best of the bunch so far. Not sure if these are for a hat or a sleeve patch because some of these logos are too busy for a hat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortunat1 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 The logos vary drastically in terms of quality, but we still have a decent amount of well designed logos (that work for sports teams). I'm not big on the superhero-fied logos, but idk what else to expect given who's behind all this. Scaling will be an issue as the busy logos and thin line strokes will be pretty difficult to produce on a cap, which is unfortunate. Some designs could be better, but overall I think that this promotion will be a success. The fact that there is individual team identity in each design makes this year's version of the promo significantly better than last year's templated jerseys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Yellow Flag Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 MiLB has been posting them on their Instagram as cap logos, which lowers my (already low in many cases) opinion of a lot of these. The better move might have been to develop heroes for teams, and perhaps uniforms based on that. Slapping these comic book illustrations on the front of caps, in almost every case... I pity the embroidery machine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumpygremlin Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Somerset and Wichita are the best two, by far. Both of those are good enough that they could become full-time logos. Toledo's is pretty good, and so is Greeneville's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burmy Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 For some reason, I like the Gwinnett Stripers' one best right now. Maybe it's because we're finally seeing an earthworm as a baseball mascot, maybe it's because of his determined but not overly aggressive look, maybe it's because of the seemingly insurmountable odds he faces that he's willing to survive (not the least of which is the team being named after his predator). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash61 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 If they had done these like Copa, I would have been all over them. Unfortunately, these just suck.

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.

Burmy Posted November 8, 2022 Author Share Posted November 8, 2022 After a World Series break, logo unveils resumed yesterday with these four.LOUISVILLE BATS (AAA International League) "I am vengeance, I am the night, I am...a really solid look, perfectly unique and dignified, which makes you wonder if these artists will start drawing for the Distinguished Competition soon." Portland Sea Dogs (AA Eastern League) "Look, down in the sea! It's a pinniped! It's a submarine! It's SUPER-SLUGGER!!!" Given how Slugger is a traditionally fun mascot for his team, his standard look with the classic superhero touches works well here. Cedar Rapids Kernels (High-A Midwest League) The traditional "bat-on-the-cob" logo using his left husk in a power pose to fly...very nice look, one which I could easily see having a life even outside this promotion. Tri-City Dust Devils (High-A Northwest League) Dusty actually gets to stretch his arms out in this logo, hand-signaling that under his watch, the diamond is SAFE! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
