Brian in Boston Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 The East Texas Pump Jacks of college summer baseball's Texas Collegiate League have unveiled their caps and uniforms.The cap logos are as follows:The donkey logo will appear on the Dark Forest home caps, while the dinosaur logo will appear on the Cardinal (Burgundy) road caps.The jerseys and pants of the home uniforms will be White with Black piping. The Pump Jacks name will be emblazoned across the front of the jerseys in Cardinal with a Black drop-shadow. Numbers on the front and back of the jerseys will be Dark Forest outlined in Black.The road uniform jerseys will be Black, while the road pants will be Grey. There is no piping on the road uniforms. East Texas will be emblazoned across the front of the jerseys in White with a Cardinal drop-shadow. Numbers on the front and back of the jerseys will be Dark Forest outlined in Cardinal.Happening across this news got me to thinking about which teams have the best, professional-quality logo packages in collegiate summer baseball. To be sure, the vast majority of teams competing at this level of baseball utilize pretty rudimentary logos. That said, I set out to determine a "Top Ten Collegiate Summer Baseball Logos" list. It was a good thing I limited myself to just ten, as the pickings were even slimmer than I thought that they would be.That said, here's my list:Top Ten Collegiate Summer Baseball Logos1) East Texas Pump Jacks (Texas Collegiate League)2) Forest City Owls (Coastal Plain League)3) Peninsula Pilots (Coastal Plain League)4) Brazos Valley Bombers (Texas Collegiate League)5) Springfield Sliders (Central Illinois Collegiate League)6) Rochester Honkers (Northwoods League)7) Outer Banks Daredevils (Coastal Plain League)8) Fort Collins Foxes (Mountain Collegiate Baseball League)9) Duluth Huskies (Northwoods League)10) Laramie Colts (Mountain Collegiate Baseball League) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leggman01 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 those are both really nice logos and the wordmark is BEAUTIFUL...i guess i understand why the team is going with two logos, it seems very odd that they can't settle on oneon the top 10 list, i'd bump the honkers down below the daredevils and foxes (really, the "R" logo is the only part of their identity that really does it for me) and i'd bump the huskies off completely (replaced by the columbia blowfish...coastal plain league) the edenton steamers have some real potential - if someone cleaned their stuff up, they could knock the laramie mustangs off the list, as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 How could you leave off the Alexandria Beetles, I love their logo.To each their own. I find their logo to resemble a crude knock-off of Mr. Mind in the Captain Marvel/Shazam comic books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 on the top 10 list, i'd bump the honkers down below the daredevils and foxes (really, the "R" logo is the only part of their identity that really does it for me)...I'd originally had the Daredevils' logo ranked just ahead of Rochester's, but I really like the Honkers' "goose-in-flight" logo.... and i'd bump the huskies off completely (replaced by the columbia blowfish...coastal plain league)I'm not a fan of the Columbia Blowfish logo. In my opinion, while it strikes me as a clever idea, the logo's composition is too cluttered and the artwork is too crudely rendered to merit a spot in my "Top Ten" list.... the edenton steamers have some real potential - if someone cleaned their stuff up, they could knock the laramie mustangs off the list, as wellPotential? Sure. That said, Edenton's logo is another non-starter for me. It looks like something that was dashed off in under a minute and slapped on the menu of a roadside seafood shack.

Shumway Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 If it wasn't for that black jersey, I'd absolutely love this set. It really just doesn't fit. Go with a cardinal or green jersey, and this set is great(er). I still like it a lot, but that black jersey just blows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leggman01 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 bib - i wasn't familiar with the northwoods league until i saw this thread...the green bay bullfrogs and battle creek bombers have pretty solid identities, as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arts11 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Oh very cool logos. I think that's the first time I've seen a team using 2 vastly different cap logos in one season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
