rmackman Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 From the picture of the Bet Shemesh Blue Sox hat, it looks like they're trying to use the Red Sox and White Sox idea combined with the look of a NY Yankees cap in Hebrew. Whatever sells I guess. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Meningocele Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 they play baseball there?How ignorant can you be...well it aint making sportscenter, thats for sure.Neither is the Samsquatch Circuit, but I'll bet you can tell us who's in first place and by how many games.

jman077 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 All of the logos are very nice looking, however, they're the English transliterated into Hebrew. I can read Hebrew (but not write or understand it), and all of those are just the English words using Hebrew lettering. You'd think they'd use the Hebrew words for Blue Sox, Lightning, etc. I really like the Lightning Wordmark. That bolt is actually a letter.And the biblical history of baseball is pretty humorous.

BallWonk Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 The Israel Baseball League has announced the names of the circuit's six teams. They are...Beit Shemesh Blue SoxGezer LionsNahariya StingraysNetanya TigersPetah Tikvah PioneersTel Aviv LightningMuch as I love the Blue Sox name, and wish one of baseball's 14 expansion teams would have chosen the name, I'm a bit disappointed in it for Beit Shamesh. So much history with that name and they choose Blue Sox? Ugh. Also, I'm a bit surprised by the Petah Tikvah Pioneers name. I mean, it makes sense, but it carries a lot of political baggage. Makes it easy for Arab Israelis and Palestinians to choose which team to root against!And am I alone in thinking that a blue ball is a very bad idea? Unless they've changed the color of the sky in Israel, that is, which they hadn't last I checked. What was wrong with putting blue stitching on a white ball?

Nelson Mandela is a world figure, and when you need a quote about peace and harmony you either go to him or Gandhi.

24 Hour Charleston Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Well, there were some great Jewish baseball players, like Hank Greenberg, Sandy Koufax, and Steve Stone, but I don't know if I'd say it's "the sport of the Jewish people." What about basketball? Never forget.Just in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "baseball is known as the sport of the Jewish people" thing is just plain goofy, though.Well, the return of (newly integrated) South African teams to international competition in 1994 did help to jumpstart the creation of a new national identity at the start of the post-Apartheid era. But, yeah. It's never a good sign when a sports executive starts talking about the Importance of his team/league/game. With a little less of that kind of thing, and more concern for the bottom line and the field of play, we'd still have professional women's soccer in America. Good a time as any to put in a plug for the graphic novel The Golem's Mighty Swing. Possibly the best baseball graphic novel of all time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Buffalo Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Shocking that none of the teams went with names like the Bombers, the Attack or the Militia.....OK that was a bad joke.... I hope it's very successful, does anyone know if they have an Israili Futbol League and if so how their attendance is??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/professor_farnsworth]Ummm...I thought baseball was a multi-cultural sport, not one ethnicity's. This is what happens: first the buslines, then sports...
