bosrs1 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I was thinking the other day about the Tucson Padres and Wochester Sharks and it got me thinking about minor league teams that take their parent team identities and it inspired me to want to compare all of them across the big 4 leagues since being so "unoriginal" with team names can so easily backfire or lead to lack of a distinct identity. I'm referring specifically the ones that don't take a different name not the ones that while having a different name might take some aspect of their parent team's identity (ie think Pawtucket Red Sox, not Portland SeaDogs). So without further ado I'm going to start with MLB since I think they have the most offenders, specifically the first team I'll do the Braves. I'll list them by parent and then descending order of unoriginal offspring. This will probably take a while and multiple posts so bear with me.

RyanB06 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I'd give Johnson City a pass there - sure, they're still the Cardinals, but the logos don't look like either Springfield or Palm Beach.

Teams that have taken the name but have chosen to go the original route and try to create their own identity with the name rather than just outright stealing from their parents team (present or past). An example of the "past" being the Mississippi Braves cap logo which is not far off the old Milwaukee Braves logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCall Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Wait, I'm confused. Are we on the boards or the mothership?Was it really necessary to post all these logos? You could have just listed them and people could've gone to the mapmaker to check them out for themselves. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
