winters in buffalo Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 The first strike against this list is that it uses the term "first annual". Ugh. I love minor-league identities, but not necessarily these. Here's my take on the list. Biscuits' - fun logo, unique name. Jammers - stupid name. logo looks like a constipated tumor.Nuts - great name, even better logoIsotopes - Good name that would have been much better if it was original. Logo is subpar for such a great name.Catfish - definitely a minor-league name, but mascot isn't unique. I like the logo, though.Swing - should have been #1 out of this group. Grasshoppers - a classic minor-league name & logo!What's missing?Burlington Bees - perhaps my favorite logo in the minors. Cedar Rapids Kernels - I guess they do two things in Iowa, grow corn and make great logos. Connecticut Defenders - previously mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eRay Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 this guys criteria seems to be as follows:-logo must scream "minor league baseball"-team must have a silly name that worksi doubt he really looked through all the logos to come to a decision. if he had the list might have included:Brooklyn Cyclones(mentioned)Auburn DoubledaysFresno GrizzliesBoise HawksCedar Rapids Kernals(mentioned)Jacksonville SunsMyrtle Beach PelicansCorpus Christi Hookswow, thats more than 5...oh well.

buzzcut Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Biscuits - Tasty name and logo. Nuf Ced.Jammers - Have the good burghers in Jamestown considered changing the name to the Jamestown Fighting Lower Intestines?Nuts - Hillarious, but somehow a rip-off of the Visalia OaksIsotopes - The Simpsons called. They want the name back.Catfish - Someone investigate that fish.. I think it's on steroids. The CCSLC's resident Geelong Cats fan. Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends. Sounds like something from a Rocky & Bullwinkle story arc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack76 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Umm...Jamestown Jammers? That could be the WORST logo ever. And that's not new this year; that sad-sack logo debuted last year, so Rovell contradicted himself. Way to do your necessary research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
