Blackjack76 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 The Artists Formerly Known as the Fullerton Flyers are now the "Orange County Flyers."I'd show the logos, but I'm too tired to upload them, so feel free to click away:http://www.goldenbaseball.com/Fullerton/Ar...1&SecID=221 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBGKon Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 not a big deal in my mind.....Fullerton is a city in the OC. It's just a way to regionalize the team to a broader market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 It's just a way to regionalize the team to a broader market. It also paves the way for the new ownership group to meet with Orange County communities other than Fullerton to discuss the possibility of building the team a ballpark of it's own. In a recent radio interview on AM 570 KLAC in Los Angeles, part-owner James Denton mentioned that the team was exploring just such an option.

LMU Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 This change works. Not only do they broaden the fan base, but they manage to work to get out of the shadow of powerhouse Cal State Fullerton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a way to regionalize the team to a broader market.Were this the major leagues, I would have a big problem with that. I don't like transparent attempts to pander to a larger audience, as though nobody would follow a team that doesn't specifically refer to their ZIP code.But in the minors, this is okay with me. There's a different aesthetic at work. Besides, I like the wordmark. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like transparent attempts to pander to a larger audience, as though nobody would follow a team that doesn't specifically refer to their ZIP code.Surely, you meant to say that you'd have a big problem with it unless the pandering in question was being done by the owner of a certain Anaheim-based Major League Baseball team... who transparently sought to have his franchise identified with the larger municipality and county named Los Angeles... as though nobody would follow a team - or, more importantly, pay increased broadcast rights fees for said team- that didn't specifically reference the LA ZIP code. Right?In other words, transparent pandering on the part of major league franchises is perfectly fine with you so long as the team in question is chasing the almighty dollar.

Gothamite Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Nope, in that case, he was writing a wrong. That was undoing silly pandering of a different sort, that of a team to a suburb which wants to pretend that it isn't a suburb.Since you asked, and all. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

FiddySicks Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 They shoulda moved the team to Costa Mesa. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 And Costa Mesa has a ballpark where? Costa Mesa High School (Go Stangs!)? Oh wait that would suit them just fine for the what, 6 fans that show up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wait that would suit them just fine for the what, 6 fans that show up! Accually I was speaking in jest more than anything, but Orange Coast College does have a fairly new baseball stadium, and the majority of teams in the GBL, including the Reno SilverSox, play at college stadiums just fine.By the way, CMHS kids are a bunch of b*tches.

Gothamite Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 No double standard. Major league teams should be named for their city. If they play in a suburb of a larger city, they should be named for the larger city (Detroit Pistons, New York Jets and Giants, Dallas Cowboys, etc).If I wanted them to change to the California Angels, that would be a double standard.
