Big Yellow Flag 143 Posted July 16 Has anybody compiled all these new temporary baseball names and/or identities? Seems like some of them could make for a good inspiration folder (and a very valid new section under baseball on the mothership?). 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve been checking lids, but that’s just another store fanatics has ruined over the past year or two. Going direct to the teams individual store might be the best option, and it helps a local business rather than a corporate entitiy. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sportsfan7 305 Posted August 5 Odd timing. Aren't they one of the teams on the chopping block? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gothamite 22,732 Posted August 5 Yes, but they're also about to move into a new stadium. Which makes this pretty standard timing. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dynasty 2,317 Posted August 5 All they really need to do is update their logo/uniforms. The name has a good enough connection to the area and going with something else just feels like change for change sakes. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewG70 106 Posted August 5 Are they changing their name because their fans are called Snapperheads? (I’ll see myself out the door now.) 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sodboy13 5,188 Posted August 6 All they need to do is drop the gold from their color scheme and go navy/double green/yellow, then get some decent uniforms for once. I don't want to see the delightful Snappers get Brandiosed into being the StateLine RockRollers or some such trash. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OnWis97 4,439 Posted August 6 I'm not going to lose any sleep over this since it's a minor league team I seldom notice but I think it's a solid name and teams just changing names* is odd to me. I'd rather they have a presence that lasts. Hopefully the Mud Hens don't move into a new stadium soon. *Barring a Washington-NFL type reason 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian in Boston 2,326 Posted August 6 In my opinion, they'd be best served by keeping the name and securing the services - and talent - of Dan Simon, Todd Radom, or Joe Bosack for a new logo package. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimball 4,823 Posted August 6 As a former Beloit resident there's no need for a name change, Snappers works better than any other nickname. What has already been echoed a logo change is needed. Maybe emphasize the A's color way more with yellow and green? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NicDB 2,901 Posted August 7 It'd be a shame to see a great name like Snappers go. Just an update to the team's logo package is all they need. Also, how odd is it that Beloit still has a team? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BBTV 18,216 Posted August 18 Quote The Worcester Red Sox—WooSox to friends—unveiled the on-field threads they’ll wear in their debut season next year, including nine jerseys and seven caps. The nine jerseys include three whites, three blues, two reds, and one gray, featuring the city’s name in a traditional Red Sox font, the team name in their own WooSox script, and the team’s heart-shaped W. The caps, in various permutations of red and navy, feature the Red Sox font W, the heart-shaped WooSox W, and, because the iconic yellow smiley face was born in Worcester, one with the team’s bat-swinging smiley face logo. (See the explanation for that here.) Emphasis mine. This is absurd. It's fine for MiLB teams to have fun with their uniforms and have a few alts and special one-offs, but 9 jerseys and 7 caps is ridiculous by any measure. The uniforms don't even go together, with some with their Woo Sox brush-ish script, and some in the Tuscon-ish font. Just a joke. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
