BigMac12 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I know for sure that the Tucson Padres are moving to El Paso. (No word if they will take on the Diablos moniker.) Any other news? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmsuaggie Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 There is a sneak peak of the logo at www.elpasotriplea.com. Rumor is they are going to be the Sun Dogs. Quote Go Aggies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappital92 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 If the previous iterations of BP hats are any indicator, all MiLB teams will be going to the Diamond Era style. Quote http://www.wizardsxtra.com Is it the shoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patchs Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Auburn Doubledays (NY-P) said they will wear 1940 Auburn Cayugas (Border League) unis for at least 10 games in 2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosrs1 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Big Mac, Diablos is not in consideration right now for El Paso's new moniker. Sun Dogs, Desert Gators, Chihuahuas, Buckaroos, and Aardvarks are the five pitiful finalists the team owners selected. They hinted at the final mascot choice yesterday. http://www.elpasotimes.com/latestnews/ci_24307856 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sun dog is an actual astral phenomena that's befitting of a place that calls itself "Sun City" (hence the Sun Bowl).I was wondering why they'd move to El Paso when part of the reason they were moving from Tucson was because the Arizona baseball team was more popular; but then I found out UTEP doesn't have baseball... kind of surprising.

PJBenterprises Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I suspect the Rochester Red Wings (AAA Minnesota Twins affiliate) are ditching the solid black jerseys. All of last year's black jerseys were recently put up for auction, including team-issued / non-player worn, which would indicate to me that they're liquidating them. The black jersey was their primary home jersey from 1997-2000 and again from 2005-2010. They were worn as alternate jerseys in '11, '12 and '13, although they were worn more often than the supposed "home" jersey, which is white with black raglan sleeves. I suspect the latter will be their primary home jersey in '14, and they might perhaps add a new alternate jersey, or wear their red BPs as alternate game jerseys, which they've done in the past.

The reason why they are moving to El Paso is because the city government agreed to build a stadium. The crazy thing is they demolished the children's science museum and the city hall. You can find the city hall demolition on YouTube if you care to see it. The ballpark construction has been rather controversial since it required the demolition and the costs have been raising quite quickly since this is a a fast construction deadline of less than one year.As far as UTEP not having a baseball team, this is due to Title 9 in the 80's. Since football takes up a lot of scholarships and you need an equal amount of female scholarships, UTEP had to drop the program. Quote Go Aggies!

Thus the move to El Paso. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJBenterprises Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 @Grubstreet - they had a version of the "FC" hats available this past season in the team store. They're currently selling them online (click here). It's New Era's "29Twenty" model, which is cotton, like a 47 hat. If it's the 5950 you're looking for, they do show up (used) on ebay occasionally. Hope that helps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappital92 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 The Bristol White Sox of the Appy League are now a Pirates affiliate, so we'll most likely see the Bristol Pirates with the "P" turned into a "B".

Gothamite Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I like the lower-right logo of the dog swinging the bone, but not impressed with the rest of the set.Really hate that "EP" logo, which doesn't seem to match anything else.

Lee. Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Plan B/Brandiose is really just working off of reputation at this point. This entire set looks phoned in, and reminiscent of pretty much everything else they've done since 2011. Quote Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Well, that's better than anything in the initial release. We'll have to see how they put the whole identity together, because that first logo sheet has a whole lot of disjointed parts. If they can integrate them as well as in that new (primary?) logo, then it might be successful. Quote The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
