McCall Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I would consider the rays patch as kind of a nod to their origins, and not indicative that they are still using that as their mascot. I would equate it more towards the A's elephant than the Indians chief wahoo patch. It's a symbol of the team but not it's actual name.Plus, it looks awesome on the sleeve. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a symbol of the team but not it's actual name.It's not the same as the elephant because the A's were never named for elephants. TB was named for devil rays and still uses the logo after changing the name. 'We used to be the Devil Rays, and now we're just the Rays as in rays of sunshine. We are NOT the Devil Rays anymore. However, here is a devil ray for your enjoyment butwerenotthedevilrays". Fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 They had a little kangaroo-court system of fines for saying "Devil Rays" to the press, but there one is on their sleeve. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillz Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 There's something about the H-star I just don't care for. I'm not sure what it is. It just seems overly simple. I actually prefer their current shooting star cap logo to the H-star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucknut40 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Thanks for the support everyone. I don't want to take up the whole thread, but here's what a full team list might look like.Orioles) Air ForceIndians) No comment.Reds) ArmyOrioles I would go with Navy because of the Naval Academy being so closeIndians I would go with Coast Guard?? If we are including them because there is a Lake Erie base on the shore of ClevelandReds I would go with Air Force, there is one of the countries biggest Air Force bases less then an hour away in Dayton #RaiderUpTwitter-@R_Redinger4 My Blog-Southwest Ohio Football NCFAF-Wheeling Coal Miners,NCFAF-FCS Lake Erie Shoremen, NCFAB-Wheeling Coal Miners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather see the all-navy TC hat across te board, but anything's better than the current road caps. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FooMasterX5 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I think the Air Force would be more appropriate for the Rays, considering MacDill AFB is in Tampa.Bingo, my thoughts exactly.But the Ray is a sea animal...The Ray is a Beam of sunlight.The current Rays are just that. For some inexplicable reason, when remodeling the team they rebranded to a ray of light, and still kept the Devil Ray sleeve patch.They also still have a tank with live rays in center field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only the Giants hasn't changed their logo in 1950; the Mets would be wearing that beauty today. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

I think we should raise as much of an issue over the white elephant as we do over Chief Wahoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltjets21 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 How do they choose the years they throwback to for these games? I know the past two years the red sox did it for the year fenway park opened and, the last time they played the cubs at fenway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportstar1212 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I hate how the Cubs and Giants throwbacks have numbers on the back. I wish they had done like the Yankees and Red Sox earlier this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
