TruColor Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Sorry if I can't reveal too much, but here's a list of the affiliated minor league logo and/or uniform changes for 2004:Albuquerque Isotopes Boise Hawks Buffalo Bisons (UNVEILING NEW CAP LOGOS 2/7/04)Charlotte Knights Clearwater Threshers (replaces Clearwater Phillies) Dunedin Blue Jays Durham Bulls Hudson Valley Renegades Idaho Falls Chukars (replaces Idaho Falls Padres) International League Kinston Indians Montgomery Biscuits (replaces Orlando Rays) Myrtle Beach Pelicans New Orleans Zephyrs New Haven Ravens (becoming the New Hampshire Fisher Cats)Round Rock Express Salem-Keizer Volcanoes Salt Lake Stingers South Georgia Waves (TBD)Swing of the Quad Cities (replaces Quad City River Bandits) Trenton Thunder Tulsa Drillers (UNVEILING DATE 1/20/04)I've seen all of these except for South Georgia and New Hampshire. The only real major logo/color/uniform changes (other than those that we have already discussed on this board) are with New Orleans and Tulsa. Most of the other changes are minor color tweaks, or slight uniform mods.Wait'll ya see Tulsa - new funky colors, new logos, wordmarks, etc.I like 'em.

Hardman 1 Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 I can't wait to see Tulsa's new logos and uniforms. It sounds very cool. The best of all is that they unveil it on my birthday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc49erfan15 Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Anything major with the Knights? Or can you tell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted January 14, 2004 Author Share Posted January 14, 2004 Knights - honestly, I'm not sure. Same logo, word mark...they're going to use a Gray BP hat; that might be the change.Nothing spectacular I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 The Lowell Spinners are introducing a new cap logo, based on the mascot, the Canaligator. I think this it it Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted January 14, 2004 Author Share Posted January 14, 2004 Yeah, I've been communicating with the Spinners about that one...it wasn't listed as an official change this upcoming season......I'll get to the bottom of it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Could you communicate a big "NO" to them please?I wish they'd go back to the original logo, a hurricane-type "s". I thought that logo looked incredibly Major League, as opposed to the cyclone-thing they use now.

RyanB06 Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 They did. I believe it was a home alternate.And I'm the proud owner of one - I live about 10 mins from NB Stadium and get to about 15 or so games a season; it's a lot of fun.

IowaFan26 Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 I/m sorry if no one has mentioned this before, but...SWING OF THE QUAD CITIES???Jumpin' Jesus on a pogo stick! What is WRONG with people?BP, did you have anything to do with this?In the words of Bart Simpson "I didn't do it."If I had anything to do with it I wouldn't have let them name them "The Swing of the Quad Cities".It kills me that they would do that, put the name BEFORE the city. And they'll be coming to Cedar Rapids a to play some this year too. I should go check that game out. And what is a Chukar? That sounds just as bad as the Swing. But not quite.

alafornia Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 I heard the Tulsa Drillers are unveiling something like never seen before in professional baseball. Someone told me they are the only Minor League Baseball team to custom dye their uniforms to get a specific color. From what I hear most of their colors aren't used by ANY professional sports team! I can wait to get a cap if what I heard is true! Pantone can you verify this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted January 19, 2004 Author Share Posted January 19, 2004 Checking...checking...(good thing I have this stuff in a database)...Certainly the combination of colors hasn't been used (one of the reasons why I like 'em)...but individually, I'll say that two of the colors are unique. The primary color actually is unique (as far as I can tell), and one of the accent colors is very unique as well. Mix in two different metallics and Black and White, and you've got yourself an interesting color scheme.When these are unveiled (I believe tomorrow), I think most of you will like these, but I can't say for certain. I like them a lot...but then again, I like funky crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted January 19, 2004 Author Share Posted January 19, 2004 A couple more hints...I don't understand why they need to custom-dye these uniforms...certainly there are Pantone Textile colors that correspond very nicely with these colors...but then again, I don't really understand how the whole manufacturing process works, and how available all 1,900+ textile colors are for each manufacturer.One last thing...the Drillers' new road caps are going to be the new trendy color that will be introduced this season by the Toronto Blue Jays - Dark Graphite. A couple of teams are doing this now...Dark Graphite and non-metallic Gold seem to be the new trendy colors...(Tulsa's not using that non-metallic Gold however; don't read into that statement) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
