Primal Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 The six clubs that will participate in the revamped Australian Baseball League (ABL) have been named and logos revealed. Baseball has struggled for mainstream attention here since the early 1990s and the league folded in '99, so these are by no means going to be earth shattering.Adelaide BiteBrisbane BanditsCanberra CavalryMelbourne AcesPerth HeatSydney BluesoxThe Bandits and the Heat have survived (in name) from the previous ABL and the Heat logo has largely survived as well. The Bite and Aces names have been adapted from earlier state team names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphabet Man Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Love the creativity in the BlueSox. They are all kinda dull at 90s looking... twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr79 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 The Cavalry logo looks like Western Michigan and Boise State had a lovechild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadFish Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Uniforms have been revealedFrom Melbourne Aces launchFrom League launchAttended the Aces launch. Home and Road uniforms differ only in the colour of the pants (white/grey as you'd expect). I was disappointed, hoping for a full home/road/alt set.I'm guessing it'll be the same deal for the other clubs with the exception of Perth Heat.Contrary to what can be seen in the background of the Aces shot, Melbourne's uniforms will almost certainly have NOBs, they only seem to have finished half of them.

deep Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Sydney BluesoxMind = BlownSeriously all of these logos are crap (melbourne Aces is the only one that is decent). On the game though i dont know if it can survive here, cricket is pretty the preferred bat n ball sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc49erfan15 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Are those 59Fiftys they're wearing? If so, where can I pick one up?Yes they are, and that was my thought exactly.They're available here, but very pricey - $49.95 AUD, which is essentially even with the US dollar. Factor in shipping and they're going to run you 60 bucks a pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the game though i dont know if it can survive here, cricket is pretty the preferred bat n ball sport.I do not think the intention is to challenge Cricket on any level but to provide a niche sport and a potential pipeline to the US or Asian systems. Much like the MLS in the states, they know they will never reach the level of MLB or NFL but it does provide a pro level for those that enjoy soccer. Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. P. J. O'Rourke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuffDawg Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 They're trying this again, huh? Well, I hope it survives as at least a niche league for a while, as was mentioned earlier. As for the logos/team identities, I love Melbourne's and don't care for most of the others although I do like what I think might be wordplay on Adelaide's geographical location. But "BlueSox"? Really, Sydney? There comes a point when you don't stand for the constant heartbreak anymore, and walk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omnivore Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 As long as Dave Nilssen doesn't own it again, it's worth a shot. That Blue Sox cap might be worth a buy and that Melbourne mark is the best of the bunch.

Matito Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 prom dressesChoosing a bridesmaid is an important thing.prom dresses Unless you can afford to have everyone one you know, or you only have one friend, this decision can be one of the hradest to make. If you?ve been to University you probably have a huge crowd of friends and choosing one that is going to be your right hand lady for the day, without upsetting everyone else is hard.wedding dressesI?d been bridemais 5 times by the time it was my turn to get married and the normal thing to do would have been to return the favour,wedding dresses but I didn;t really want that many.wedding gownsSo,wedding gowns I stuck to my guns - chose the friend that I?d known the longest and had more or less grown up with and then had little ones.wedding dressesI asked those that wedding dresses felt they?d been left out to be involved in other ways?one helped me to organise my Hen party as my bridesmaid lived away and didn?t really know any of my local friends. Another did a reading in the church ceremony for me and others just made sure I had a cracking day!Awesome. I've been looking but couldn't decide where to go. I think that buying one online would be the best, most logical choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
