2018 MiLB Regular Season News and Notes/2018 Affiliation Dance

Sorry, I have bifocals. These two logos of the Express has me confused. Not the colors, I appreciate incorporating the Astros colors. I just don't understand what the Express is trying to convey with these logos. The rest of the sceme is nice.

That's a depiction of the actual round rock for which Round Rock, TX is named within the outline of the state of Texas.

Beloit (Low-A, Midwest League) has renewed with the A's through 2020.

Thanks. That's actually very clever.

 

[garnetpalmetto]

As expected, West Virginia (Low-A, South Atlantic League) has signed a Player Development Contract with the Mariners through 2020.

 

[Preds Partisan]

Reds shouldn't have dumped Chattanooga in the first place. Replaces Pensacola.

 

[garnetpalmetto]

In addition to the Chattanooga/Cincinnati affiliation that @Preds Partisan pointed out, Batavia (Short Season-A, New York-Penn League) has renewed with Florida through 2020.

 

[garnetpalmetto]

Colorado Springs (Rookie, Pioneer League) has renewed with the Brewers through 2020.

 

[garnetpalmetto]

Ogden (Rookie, Pioneer League) has renewed with the Dodgers through 2020.

I've been on the road, but have a few updates:

Pensacola (Double-A, Southern League) has signed a Player Development Contract with the Twins through 2020.

Amarillo (Double-A, Texas League) has renewed with the Padres through 2020.

Lake Elsinore (Advanced-A, California League) has renewed with the Padres through 2020.

Tri-City (Short Season-A, Northwest League) has renewed with the Padres through 2020.

Little off-season news - Syracuse has announced their new name and branding going into next year. Say goodbye, Chiefs, and let's meet...the Mets.

Not bad. Doesn't have to be gaudy or exactly like the parent club, but still a great job by Syracuse.

The day you've all been waiting for with bated breath has arrived. The Rocket City Trash Pandas logos have been revealed.

 

[BigMac1212]

I think all of us wants Rocket Raccoon to take his namesake weapon and obliterate the logos.

Yikes! I know "Trash" is in the name, but you don't have to take the term LITERALLY!

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Brandiose really needs to be tried at The Hague.

Brandiose really needs to be tried at The Hague.

Too fancy. Just a regular court in the US would suffice.

I don't know, these are pretty awful logos. Some of that Rocket City set is almost eye-gougingly bad and we haven't even seen their unis yet. I'm not looking forward to the reveals of Amarillo or Colorado Springs.

Also it's late, but the Cubs have renewed their PDCs with the Iowa Cubs (Triple-A, Pacific Coast League), Tennessee Smokies (Double-A, Southern League), Myrtle Beach Pelicans (High-A, Carolina League), and South Bend Cubs (Low-A, Midwest League) through 2022.

why would Colorado Springs or San Antonio as it is now change anything, GP, all it would be is a rebrand as had Amarillo not happened that opened up San Antonio, the Sky Sox branding was done anyway, now whether the Missions brand stays in San Antonio, that's on the reveal

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here, Hutch. The announced finalists for Amarillo's team name (Boot Scooters, Bronc Busters, Jerky, Long Haulers, and Sod Poodles) and Colorado Springs (Lamb Chops, Happy Campers, Throttle Jockeys, Punchy Pikas, and Rocky Mountain Oysters) were all dreadful and will likely result in logos even more dreadful than Rocket City's. I think none of us have any faith in Brandiose - as much as people hate on Dave Gunnarsson for his goalie mask designs, they're freaking works of art compared to what Brandiose churns out.

Guess who's coming to Fayetteville?

Other than the bat holding primary logo, it's decent. It's infinitely better than the Trash Pandas.

 

[Oscar Acosta]

You guys are nuts the Trash Pandas stuff is awesome. I have to order a hat at least.

That woodpecker looks like he's about to make me an offer I can't refuse.

Should of called the team the Godpeckers.

The "F" reminds me of the Reading's logo a bit, but overall I like it. I'm interested to know who did it - I don't think it's Brandiose, thankfully. Jerseys are below:

 

[VaCaps Fan]

Reminds me of the Richmond flying squirrels...

 

[BigMac1212]

Sorry for sounding impatient, but when will the Texas League's Amarillo franchise reveal the name and logos?
