HurricaneDavid Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I've always thought their logo was the most BORING in all of sports. Now, the 15 years portion overshadows the actual logo. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moser316 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Hmmm, it's been 15 years since those flatlanders took the Wausau Timbers from central Wisconsin. Let's all celebrate! Seriously, the logo ain't that bad. It ain't that good, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 When I was living in Chicago (1994-1998), they were a big story in the area...they did VERY well attendance-wise. It was a good story.Anyone know if they're still doing well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack76 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 They still draw very well (consistently Top 10 in affiliated minors) and they command a lot to sponsor them (believe me, it's Top 3 in the country). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eriqjaffe Posted February 23, 2005 Author Share Posted February 23, 2005 Yep. They drew 522,042 fans last year, averaging 7,677 per game - I'm not sure what the capacity at Elfstrom Stadium is, but that average is around sellout level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artvandelay Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 They should do something to make that logo taller. "...and you want to be my latex salesman." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtrich11 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 About 9 years ago I talked to the then Cougars GM about changing the logo. He said that there was a presentation at the founding of the club where they showed a bunch of designs. The guy said he didn't like any of them. He said he scribbled out an angular cat on a baseball and said "do something like that." Forced to follow crappy advice from a guy who didn't know what he was talking about, the logo was born. I remember asking if they were to change what kind of look they would consider. He said "turn of the century". If you've ever looked at unis from that time, they were almost blank. He didn't know what he was asking for. The thing is that this GM hasn't been there for a while now. They insist on using the same junky logo. I don't understand it. They are very successful and could afford a new one. I'd love to do it! cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anomalied Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I went to a Cougars game a few years back. Great fun. They have fireworks and good food. I think their logo is pretty good. It's simple, unique, and easy to identify with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eriqjaffe Posted February 23, 2005 Author Share Posted February 23, 2005 Yeah, in this day and age, 15 years with a consistent identity for a minor league team (despite 3 different affiliations) is pretty impressive. The Cougars sell out just about every game, why change?I agree that the logo is a bit bland, but at least they're not the Kane County DiamondCougarzzz.
