andycumbee19 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 No changes here, but I was hoping someone more local to the Delaware area could help me out on this topic. I picked up this cap the other day at lids here in Charleston (they had other teams/styles, but I picked this one to match a couple pink shirts I have in my wardrobe. Naturally, when I pick up a new hat, I like to get a little background on the team it represents, if only just a wee little bit. I know this team is the Wilmington Blue Rocks. On the mothership, it doesn't depict this logo, only one without the arm & baseball (and that was a throwback logo.) My question is, do you think New Era created this based on a cap worn at some point by the team, or just made a different logo just for THIS cap?

andycumbee19 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 These are the jerseys the RiverDogs have been wearing on Friday nights. This continues the past couple year's tradition they have of wearing red jerseys on Friday nights. Numbers on the back match the wordmark on front. Navy letters, gold & white outlines. From any distance the numbers and wordmark are unreadable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mojo Maniac Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Are any other minor league teams sponsored by nike?I believe the Richmond Flying Squirrels are one. Also, the Portland Beavers were outfitted by Nike in their last three seasons (2008-2010). Which made sense, given the location of Nike's headquarters in neighboring Beaverton. From San Berdoo to Kalamazoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old logo for reference:The logo from the Mothership is incorrect, IMO. I've got the majority of Blue Rocks graphics back to 2001, and have never seen the version without the arm.The mark you're referring to was a Batting Practice Cap logo; there were (as far as I can tell) two different versions. I've got one from a 2005 logosheet, and another one from a 2007 sheet:2005:2007: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangefaniniowa Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I think Iowa in the Pacific Coast League needs to change its nickname. Why are they still called the Iowa Cubs? It's been more than 30 years and they still are calling them the "Cubs". They need to find something original and unique. I thought the Iowa Oaks (which was their team name before the Cubs) was very good. But no longer are Triple-A affiliates no longer need to use the same team name as their parent club, yet Iowa still does. If I were the owner of the team, I switch it in a heartbeat. Go back to Iowa Oaks or a new nickname. The Iowa Cubs nickname gets lamer and lamer every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Huge Cubs fanbase in Iowa. Ask any White Sox fan and they might even tell you that there are more Cubs fans in Iowa than in Chicago. They come to Wrigley by the busload.Also tradition now. 30 years? You answered that one yourself. Minor-league affiliates don't normally have that kind of staying power with one MLB club, so those that do celebrate it. Back in the day a ton of clubs used their parent clubs' names. Iowa never changed because their affiliation didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
