Brian in Boston Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 ... is the San Diego Surf Dawgs. The name was submitted by a seven-year-old child, beating out nine other finalists: Jets, Sailors, Sand Sharks, Sluggers, Splinters, Sun Sox, Surfers, Tomcats and Waves.As of now, I'd rank the GBL's original logos (the Tijuana Toros are using their pre-existing mark) as follows:1) Long Beach Armada2) San Diego Surf Dawgs3) Yuma Scorpions4) Fullerton Flyers5) Chico Outlaws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilaLogos Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 the name is kinda dumb, but the logo is pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 The SDSD? This should be the mascot: I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Splinters would have been my choice. Thankfully, Sun Sox was not picked. No need to rehash a name from the Senior Pro League of the late 80's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted February 12, 2005 Author Share Posted February 12, 2005 Sun Sox would have been my #1 choice for the team's name, followed by Sailors, Splinters, Surf Dawgs, Sluggers, Tomcats, Surfers, Jets, Waves and Sand Sharks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 The name is awful, but the logo makes up for it. That's amazing. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ez Street Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Sun Sox would be cool....i do like that logo. @DavidStreeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilbert Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Sun Sox would be a good name for the Surprise franchise. Still waiting on the name for the Mesa team as well. Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuss16 Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 that's a sweet logo! Great find. Doh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZzyzx41 Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 I was hoping for something like Sandpipers or Sailors. It's minor league so it'd have to start with S. To have it be SD SD is a bit bad though. even if I like the SD Surfboard logo. -DanielCheck Out My Podcast!

DarthMan Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Surf DAWGS?thats the stupidestthing i ever heardbut a very nice logo "We have nothing to fear except fear itself." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mings Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 hey a nice logo makes up for a bad name. besides family fun is what minor league baseball is all about. the logo and name appeal exactly to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted February 12, 2005 Author Share Posted February 12, 2005 I entered Surprise Homers into the Name the Team contest for Surprise, Arizona. It seemed a natural for a baseball team playing in a city founded by a guy named Homer Ludden.One thing is certain: the league made a great choice when they handed the logo design chores over to Dan Simon and Joe Bosack. Top to bottom, the Golden Baseball League's member franchises have got the best logos for any minor-league in sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted February 12, 2005 Author Share Posted February 12, 2005 Found the Surf Dawgs' game cap. I added to the original post, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
