NatsFan2004 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 With the exception of the recolored "HV-Tail" mark, the Renegades' new logo package is ABYSMAL.Elsewhere in minor-pro baseball, the Trois-Rivières Aigles of the independent Can-Am League have unveiled their identity package.The team's logos were created by graphic design firm Agence Absolu of Trois-Rivières.I like it. That eagle head puts many other bird logos (major and minor league) to shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 That black "raccoon head" hat from the Renegades is pretty much a direct rip of the idea behind the Mahoning Valley Scrappers' home cap.Which itself was a direct rip of the Lake Elsinore Storm caps:That was the best-selling cap in minor league baseball for about a decade before the Scrappers jumped on the bandwagon.

hormone Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I was excited for the HV Renegades change of colors, but after seeing the hats, I'm not sure if I'll be an investor. I like to buy the teams of the Rays or Pirates (since I like them and a former player I coached is at Durham for the Rays and was a Buscuit and Renegade) and it's cool to get "other" colors (since almost all Pirate affiliates are black/yellow). Geez. The Renegades home cap will probably be mistaken for some Carolina Panther prototype. The Away cap is a nice color, but the wordmark? I think wordmarks are reserved for "fan" hats and not on-field hats. I need the letter, mascot, or combo for a baseball hat. The "s" in renegades is a different color because of the tail and it looks like "renegade" The alternate hat looks like some kind of bastardization of a Blue Jay/Oriole hat. I guess the white panel is the "cool" thing. With that being said (I do like the color)....which hat to buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Not bad, that's the first Lost-Co Op typeset that i've seen featured in a Sports Logo. I've seen many LCO types in general design, but this is the first time i've seen one used in a team logo.Well, there is this, which uses two of them: Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

Brian in Boston Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Too much going on there. Asparagus mascot, Popeye, nautical implements, baseball equipment. Popeye doesn't have one tattoo, he has four.Any couple of those would work, but the whole thing is too cluttered.I find it particularly irksome that this identity package features an asparagus spear as both an inanimate implement to be wielded as a bat/club by the sailor and as an anthropomorphic being wielding a conventional bat of its own.Each and every element of this identity, taken on its own, is wonderfully rendered. One or two of the marks, in concert, would make for a terrific identity package. That said, as Gothamite opines, taken as a whole, all of the marks become an overwhelmingly cluttered mish-mosh. I wish I could report otherwise, but this is another example of the recent "more is less" aesthetic coming out of Brandiose.Pare it down, guys. Pare it down.
