Cujo Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I am shocked they aren't becoming the Beezz with 495832 Zs at the end of the name, as is the custom for all SLC/Utah team nicknames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

countdorkula Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 My uncle played for the Salt Lake City Trappers in the 80's. I believe it was the Frontier League. He was part of the longest winning streak in professional baseball, 29 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I like it. Solid logo, simple classic name with ties to the state. Hope the uniforms are as good. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 That logo will be updated to a more modern style within 3 to 5 years. Count on it. For now, the logo is a nostalgic "throwback" to the glory days of Salt Lake Bees baseball. Soon, it will be seen as the terribly dated pseudo-1950s knock-off that it is.Name: A solid salute to the city's baseball heritage.Logo: A tired, dated knock-off.

barnesdesign Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I couldn't agree more, Brian. I think using the "Bees" name is great, but something about the usage of this logo looks rushed. I think I'll hold of on a hat until it gets redesigned in a few years barnesdesign.netbarnesdesign.posterous.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swilson160 Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 They look like they're affiliated with the Pirates now. Are they? I had the same thought but the site says they are an Anaheim affiliate. The site says they were originally affiliated with the Pirates."Originally an affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Bees will return to its classic logo and colors of black and gold."That said, while I am a fan of teams going to throwback looks permanently, I'm not so sure about basing the look on a former affilliate's colors and fonts. The gold and black are okay--after all, they're bees--but they didn't need to use the Pirates font for the lettering. They don't have to look like the Los Angeles Angels of Buena Park In The Vicinity Of Irvine Near Newport Beach, but they shouldn't look like any other MLB team, either.

nwtrailtrekker Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 the jerseys look awful. my firstever PCL game was at Cheney Stadium, Salt Lake City Buzz @ Tacoma Rainiers. Buzz IMO is a much better name than bees or stingers, they just needed a logo change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
