chickenfish13 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I kinda like 'em. The primary is so-so, but I really like the cap logos and the scripts are pretty nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedPenalty Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Cute. Appropriate for the minor leagues though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasatch Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Cute. Appropriate for the minor leagues though.Very cute, but not in a bad way. It's up there with the Biscuits. I agree with Chickenfish13, I like the cap logos better. Seems like there's too much green flowing throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eriqjaffe Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I like it, but I can't help but think of this:Sad, I know.It's nothing to do with the logo, it's just the team name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtrich11 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Looks like Flynndesign workIf it ain't Flynn, it's an exact duplication of his style. Great for minor leagues. I do like the primary logo, but I wonder about the tiny use of red and blue. Could have killed the blue and just used the red in the place name.

Firefly Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I dig that K9 logo but does boy do the back paws look off on the primary. At least I hope that's a paw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbr218 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 So now can we actually have dogs playing the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallWonk Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I really like every element of this set ... except what I assume is the home jersey script. I've never been a fan of the whole city-name-on-the-nickname-underline thing; that looks rec-league, not professional. And in this instance, the way that it forces the underline to ride over the descending leg of the K rather than the other way around, as in the primary logo, is unfortunate. Plus, adding the location name to the nickname script complicates the team's ability to market its identity to youth leagues. If the team were to use the shorter "K9s" logo as a left-chest script at home, I'd rate this set just above the Biscuits. For me, the substandard "K-Nines" script turns a solid B-plus set into a B-minus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the admiral Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 It's too bad the Northern and Frontier Leagues can't merge or realign or something. To have a league with Gary, Rockford, Crestwood, Schaumburg, Zion, and Woodstock would be pretty neat. Super-easy travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClutchIsEverything Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Don't forget Joliet too. Though with the team behind on payments to the city for rent, who knows about them.Then you have Kane County sitting there with over 15 years of experience as an affiliated club. I kinda get the feeling that in 20 years or so all these stadiums won't look like the best investment for towns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the admiral Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I suppose it depends on how well they can multitask. I know the new Zion place is going to be used as a concert venue. That could be more lucrative than the baseball team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAB Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Not bad. Looks good for the minors, the two cap logos are nice. I'm not too fond on the scripts, too slanted IMO, I think it would probably be difficult to read from a distance, but I guess I'd have to see it in action.Also, I have no idea why the "McHenry County" is blue on the primary. Any reason to it, because it's not included anywhere else in the set. Overall, I like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the admiral Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 McHenry County is going to be pretty illegible. I think they should've gone with Woodstock instead, but I suppose you run the risk of alienating Spring Grove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

undead Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Very cool indeed. I especially like the dog head by itself and the "K9's" with the dog tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasatch Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 MBurmy, no offense to your logo (I like it) but have you tried it with a different font? Maybe you could throw the K-9 in a circular crest or something like the Pacers center court logo, or the Texas Rangers logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
