2017 New Uniforms, Names and Logos Thread

[Beauner]

That reminds me of when I went to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre game last summer and they became the Pierogies for one game. Orange and blue unis with a pierogie as the logo on the hat. I really should've bought one

Erie channeling the 1970 Atlanta Hawks is a weird choice, but I really wish the lunacy of quirky names was kept to situations like this. Pitmasters for a day is awesome; Pitmasters every day would be ridiculous.

First a few promotional one-offs for next season

On 6/1/17, the Asheville Tourists (Low A, SAL) will become the Beer City Tourists

The Charlotte Knights (AAA, IL) will become the Charlotte Pitmasters for a 7/15/17 game

On 8/11/17, the Aberdeen Ironbirds (Short Season A, NYPL) will become the Aberdeen Steamed Crabs

Every Friday home game, the Erie SeaWolves (AA, EL) will host Fauxback Friday and wear these...beauties?

And lastly, new caps for the Lansing Lugnuts (Low A, MWL) - these will be year-round.

I want the Memphis Redbirds (Triple A: Pacific Coast League: Cardinals Affiliate) to have a BBQ themed night.

I bet the food at that Pitmasters game will be amazing.

Those Erie jerseys are beautiful.

This is the 20th anniversary of the Durham Bulls being affiliated with the Tampa Bay Rays and our 20th year as a Triple-A team - accordingly, the Bulls will wear special jerseys for each Sunday game to commemorate it. I didn't get to see them in person yesterday but here's the look:

In 1998, the Durham Bulls made the jump to the Triple-A level, becoming an affiliate of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. 20 seasons later, the partnership between the two teams still holds strong. In 2017, the Bulls will honor that relationship, donning specially-designed Bulls jerseys inspired by those worn by the Rays.

Inspired by the Rays' light blue alternates, Durham's newest uniform prominently features 'Bulls' in block lettering across the jersey's chest. Just as the Rays feature a sunburst in their 'R,' Durham will feature a sunburst in the 'B.'

On the right sleeve the jersey prominently displays a commemorative patch, symbolizing the 20 seasons of partnership between the Rays and Bulls. The cutout in the number zero is the Water Tower that looms over the DBAP, while a Ray swims at the bottom of the numbers. At the base of the patch, four diamonds represent the four Governors' Cups the Bulls have won as a Rays affiliate (2002, 2003, 2009, 2013), while the single yellow diamond in the middle signifies the team's 2009 Triple-A National Championship.

The numbers on the back of the jersey are the same font as the Rays' alternates, further signifying the unison between the two organizations.

The Bulls will also don a new hat in association with their light blue jerseys. The raised logo is a newly-designed mashup of the Bulls and Rays, by combining Durham's iconic block 'D' and a Ray. The 'D' and Ray are filled with Tampa Bay's solid navy, and trimmed in white and yellow, while the Ray features a hint of light blue.

In an ode to the Rays, the Bulls will wear the 20th anniversary uniforms for Sunday home games throughout the season, beginning on April 30. That day, the Bulls will celebrate 20 seasons of partnership with Tampa Bay.

The jerseys will be auctioned off online during the Bulls' final home weekend of the season (Aug. 25-27), with all proceeds going to charity. Details of the auction will be released closer to the date of the auction.

Jumping ahead to 2018, the Gwinnett Braves will be getting a full makeover.

The Atlanta Braves Triple-A minor league affiliate wants a new name and is asking fans for suggestions.

“Preparing for their 10th season in the International League, the Gwinnett Braves are seeking a new identity,” the club reported.

too bad that re-branding wont help them draw more fans or get that mixed use development going around Coolray Field anytime soon

Gwinnett Extortionists?

I'd like to see Brandiose come up with a logo for THAT name.

they could just start off with a caricature of Mike Plant

signed: Cobb County resident who has been to my field twice already this year

 

[BigMac1212]

When did the Auburn Doubledays (Short Season A; New York-Penn League; Nationals Affiliate) get a new "Mustache A" logo?

Edit: This is what I mean:

 

[BigMac1212]

The Charlotte Knights (AAA, IL) will become the Charlotte Pitmasters for a 7/15/17 game

Just my speculation, but if the Memphis Redbirds did a one-night/one-day BBQ game uniforms, I could see Spareribs being an option.

Go Gobblers!

 

[garnetpalmetto]

I think this is a case of hope for Hush Puppies but expect Big Mouths.

I know this is 2018, but the American Association (independent league) have announced a new team in Rosemount, IL: The Chicago Dogs:

Ballpark Digest Website announcement

Well, it's something.

Logo actually looks good for what it is. A hotdog over a baseball.

With the Chicago flag featured prominently. It just seems to be missing ketchup

That list of names makes me feel anger towards the entire state of Georgia.

It's missing mustard. You don't put ketchup on a hotdog or sausage.

You don't put either on sausage. Either naked or smothered in peppers and mushrooms.

Like literally the reason mustard exists is to go on hotdogs and sausages. I like peppers and mushrooms and onions as much as anyone but you're not gonna make any headway here.

Hotdogs...sure. Anything to dress up a hotdog gets a thumbs up from me. Just can't sign off on putting it on a brat.

If you've got the onions, peppers, mushrooms, sauerkraut, etc to choose from then sure, go no mustard if you like, but I'll still stand by mustard on a sausage as a reasonable thing to do.

 

[bluesfan94]

Wrong.

You don't put either on sausage. Either naked or smothered in peppers and mushrooms.

Just grilled onions.

Or curry sauce.

Hotdogs...sure. Anything to dress up a hotdog gets a thumbs up from me. Just can't sign off on putting it on a brat.

Hot dogs get cheese, relish, ketchup, and fried onions. Although anything is good.
