Ez Street Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Hawaii Winter Baseball League is back. Here are some logos....Hawaii Winter League Returns with a Fresh Look and Telecasts in the U.S. and JapanHonolulu, Hawaii - Baseball's winter leagues will see a new entry this year as the Hawaii Winter Baseball League returns with a fresh look, new teams, strong national and international endorsements, and HWB game telecasts scheduled for Hawaii, the U.S. mainland, and Japan. Nowhere will the new global look of baseball be more apparent than in Hawaii when the first pitch is thrown out for the 40-game season, October 1 through November 22, 2006 on Oahu. The league will secure players from the Major League Clubs, such as the San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Dodgers, Boston Red Sox and Atlanta Braves, as well as from professional leagues in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and China. "A fast-ball might be calibrated in kilometers for the China, Japan, Taiwan and Korea players, but it's still mighty fast at this level by whatever you call it," says Duane Kurisu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Hawaii Winter Baseball, who will announce the league's return at a press conference 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, June 28, 2006 at the Willows Restaurant.Website @DavidStreeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabreGuy Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I REALLY like that North Shore logo, but the Waikiki logo looks like it is more appropriate for for "Young Studs" magazine or something along those lines, not an baseball team.

myartsaywhat Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I like the North Shore for the clean logo and name, but the Beach Boys logo has got to go. Reminds me of the San Francisco Ferries from the Baseketball movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Rich Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 As this mentioned the RETURN of Hawaii winter league baseball, I remember seeing most of these logos a few years back in the league's previous incarnation(late 90s). West Oahu and Honolulu are essentially unchanged from that time; the Waikiki Beach Boys were updated (different "beach boy"), while the North Shore name and logo appears completely brand new (and rather cool). I think there was another Hawaiian league team back then called the Maui Stingrays, which had a rather cool red and black logo of a stingray pitching.I'll see if I can find the old ones.... It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartacat_12 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 like west oahu's script logo, waikiki's would look better if "beach boy" had a bat but it's still not as bad as everyone thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mings Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Not a one of them is bad, but North Shore is light years ahead. They all capture the minor league "family friendly" aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilomile Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 http://www.hawaiiwinterbaseball.com/Their official website just has the wordmarks for these four teams at the top, but if you scroll down to the "Join the Team!" button in the bottom-left. There are two more options under "Favorite HWB Team". The Kauai Emeralds and the Maui Stingrays. Everybody's happy now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leedsunited Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 The North Shore "turtles" logo is effin' awesome.But, as has been stated, I cannot emphasize how stupid that golden boy logo is.And yes, the old Maui Stingrays logo is quite simply a million times better than anything the Devil Rays have ever trotted out in their miserable existence.

ykiki5 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 While I don't mind the Waikiki Beach Boys logo, I think it could be improved if the Beach Boy was holding a bat (like the old Hawaii Islanders logo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
