TBGKon Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Not sure of a definite date, but the Charlotte Stone Crabs should be coming out soon, probably before the holiday shopping season is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burmy Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Whoa, the spinners too? nice!Don't they have this program where they send Spinners caps & jerseys to Little League teams in New England (to replace all the "Yankees" apparel and avoid complaints from kids)?Can't wait to see what the new duds are looking like!

Blackjack76 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 New Era tends to show off all of the upcoming season's caps at the Baseball Winter Meetings. I don't know if that has anything to do with the flood of unveilings this week, but it is something to note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I noticed this on the Spinners website:Don't remember seeing that "S-bat" logo before.

Gothamite Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 That bat looks like one of the possible designs they floated (wasn't there a fan vote?). The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burmy Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Well, it's about 4:05 EST...supposedly the Scrappers' unveiling was an hour ago, but I still haven't found a thing about 'em on the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackjack76 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Is it just me, or does the chain seem to underline the word "crap"?I now cannot look at anything else in that logo without seeing this. Amazing...and not in a good way.And why is "Mahoning Valley" floating above the cardinal red outline? Is it really that hard to encapsulate the city name in the primary logo?

Burmy Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 "The Dash" has been trademarked by Winston-Salem.Pretty cool..."The Dash" is an old nickname for the city of Winston-Salem...so "Winston-Salem Dash" would kinda be like the Philadelphia Phillies.But on the other hand, their MLB affiliate is the White Sox...

Brian in Boston Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 While I greatly appreciate the cleaner rendering of mascot Scrappy's head and face in Mahoning Valley's new logos, I have to say that the overall identity package leaves me cold. I'm not a fan of the new primary logo, wherein - as previously pointed out - Scrappy's chain serves to draw focus to the word segment "CRAP". Not the sort of subliminal messaging a sports franchise wants to be engaging in. I also don't like how said chain is abruptly truncated under the "C" in "SCRAPPERS". I also don't find the more realistic rendering of Scrappy's body to be as satisfying an image as that of the previously anthropomorphic mascot's winding-up and preparing to deliver a pitch.The less said about the "Teeth" cap idea the better. IMHO, it is a miserable concept.Overall, I give it a C-... barely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
