St Louis Cardinals Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 The Reno Aces are doing a what could have been weekend by changing their name to the Reno Ghostriders. I was wondering if any other teams have done this sort of promotion. Here are some pics of the Ghostriders: #9 LSU vs. TCU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aci Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 It's an interesting promotion, but that logo gets very hard to decipher when it's not being viewed straight-on. Cool team name, though.

Gothamite Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 The Hampshire Fisher Cats did this in 2007, with a "turn back the clock night" to their original name, the Primaries:The name was unveiled, then rejected, in 2003.

aci Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I don't even hate the Fisher Cats identity (or at least their old green identity), but I think they should have gone with the Primaries. It's the perfect minor-league team name... it's unique and punny, completely suits the locale, and the logos they created for the identity were amazing.

phutmasterflex Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Glow in the Dark is cool but what's the point? They're not playing in the dark. I guess for merchandise sales Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nash61 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Considering how much outrage there was when the Primaries set was unveiled, they're surprisingly popular.
