impulsive106 Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Those hats definitely look buyable. They may be my first MiLB purchase (gotta support the Tigers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Wow! I absolutely LOVE this rebranding!!! I know what my great-uncle (Tigers fan and U.S. Navy Commander - RET) and brother-in-law (Tigers fan, Michigan native and current U.S Navy Commander) are getting for Christmas.

rvrdgsfn Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Very classy, plus it is IMO a very good idea to show thanks to the vets of WW2. Classy look. Very nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logodawg Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I am in love with that wordmark. I once had a car but I crashed it. I once had a guitar but I smashed it. I once, wait where am I going with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred T. Jane Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Hokey Smokes! Absolutely awesome...... Except for those blasted "Scrambled Palm" leaves on the cap. The US Army/Army Air Force only had "scrambled eggs" on peaked caps for their "dress mess" uniforms. </grognard>Still won't stop me from getting one though. [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

slapshot Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Excellent package. At first, I wasn't sure about the detail of the wings, but now I think it works together very well.I don't like the jersey wordmark. I think it it looks fine on its own, but feels cramped on the jersey. I think it would look better on one line rather than one word above the other.Aside from that, eight thumbs up.

otherwilds Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 And released on Veterean's Day no less!Really like the jersey sleave emblem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManCalledAmp Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 My least favorite part of the jersey is the main cap logo...I don't know, it just seems a little odd to me. I still kinda like it, but not a lot. The side-view Tiger is much better, though I'd love to see it with a flying cap like this guy! I wanna be a kid again, so I can want this...However, I love a lot of the little things...the stenciled numbers (nice touch), wordmark, khaki roads (if they aren't dazzle, that would be fantastic), the Scrambled Palms, and the plane Alt Logo.If I had to pick the 3 best things about this rebrand, I'd probably go Scrambled Palms, then the Plane, then the Stencils, but it's close on all 3.The way they blended local history with the parent club's well-known signature branding to make something that's Lakeland unique, but not too unique. I was lukewarm about this at first, but it's growing on me--more every second. Even the winged head logo is a little cooler when you consider the roaring head is I believe a throwback to WW Era plane graphics also (correct me if I'm wrong).All in all...A- (feeling generous, so I'll ignore the little things)...make the "Dress-Uniform" Palms hat the primary, and give me a hat with the plane logo and maybe a Navy alt, and this is a high A. Go Gators. Go Blue Raiders. Go Commodores. Go USC Trojans.Preds & Avs. Braves, Rays, & Dodgers. Titans, Colts, Broncos, Cardinals. Grizzlies. 14ers, Jam. Team Spirit + Laziness = Yay.

steiny_ramone Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 It's been a tough year for sports logos, there have been many rather crappy new identities. This almost makes up for it. Everything about these is perfect. facespace?http://www.myspace.com/seancalcottmusic http://www.myspace.com/forgottentoys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSU_Butters Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Excellent. Keeps the team's tradition with the Tigers and plays into the area's aviation and naval history. Plus they look great. Amazing. Having no connection to Lakeland or the Tigers in general, I'm considering a buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discrim Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I can't say one bad thing about this set...the tiger logos kick ass, I want that alt cap (shoot, I want that regular hat...and the jerseys...hell, I want it all), and the plane logo aint too bad itself. I could do with Lakeland on the roadies, but f'in A, as my old roommate liked to say A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty much split down the line 50/50.Teams with city script:- Brevard County Manatees (Brewers)- Daytona Cubs - Palm Beach Cardinals - Dunedin Blue Jays- Ft. Myers Miracle (Twins)- Sarasota Reds Teams without city script- Jupiter Hammerheads (Marlins)- St. Lucie Mets- Vero Beach Dodgers (as of last year, now will be a D-Rays affiliate)- Clearwater Threshers (Phillies)- Lakeland Flying Tigers - Tampa Yankees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCScout76 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 These are fantastic!!!I saw the announcement on Pantone's site - but to see them here, I am estatic.I love WW2 stuff, I loved reading about the 'flying tigers' who fought in China. The movie "God is my Co-Pilot" is about the flying tigers squardon.I also found this logo on the Lakeland site, but nowhere and I ever run across this logo.Does anyone have access to it???? It's only a partial view from the top of the page.  Kansas City Scouts (CHL) Orr Cup Champions 2010, 2019, 2021     St. Joseph Pony Express (ULL)  2023 Champions   Kansas City Cattle (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribein05 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Ya know, part of me didnt like the "palms" detailing on the alt cap....but then i realized that its MiLB, and now im in love with it. I mean c'mon, at least they didnt decide to make thier mascot a biscuit.Kudos to the plane logo as well, hopefully thats prevelant in alot of ways for them.
