A/SAL Member Kannapolis changes from Intimidators to Cannon Ballers for 2019/ 2020

It's lit: Kannapolis becomes Cannon Ballers

I know it's crazy beyond reason, but I LOVE IT! The mascot has that Dale Sr. mustache. The colors are well-balanced. And the "Cannon Ballers" script is well made. Kudos Kannapolis.

Yikes. The Intimidators is a bit KKKish.

Like the Cannon Ballers a lot

Say goodbye to the Missoula Osprey and say hello to the Missoula PaddleHeads

(giggles nervously) I do like the new identity. It's wacky, but hey, at least it's something unique.

The shit is a PaddleHead? [/formerMissoulian]

I do like the colors and moose imagery, at least. Makes me want a beer.

Not sure how or why PaddleHeads is a better name than just going with the alliteration of Missoula Moose, but this is what happens when you hire Brandiose. It'd be something if moose were nicknamed paddleheads or something, but I think the name is just supposed to refer to people floating on the Clark Fork...which I've never associated paddles with. Intertube + beer + river = float.

Wichita's return to MiLB has a...unusual nickname.

It's a breeze: Wind Surge blow into Wichita

I like the colors and logos, but rather go with "Pegasi" instead of the nickname. (Yes, I'm a brony. So sue me.)

WindSurge is dumb. Logo isn’t bad though

@garnetpalmetto :

Brandiose has struck again..... adios Fort Myers Miracle hello Fort Myers Mighty Mussels

Branding for both

Not a fan of either of those. The smiley face set from Worcester is particularly obnoxious, although it reminds me a bit of WWE Superstar Bayley's old "Hugger" logo

 

[BigMac1212]

Worcester: Decent, but somehow, Watchmen comes to my mind.

Fort Myers: I not a fan, mainly the Brandiose style just didn't do a good job with the logo.

Edit 1: Slightly Off-Topic: Has the Florida Fire Frogs in the Florida State League announced where they will play for the 2020 season?

After a long wait, the Connecticut Tigers have a new name:

Legends of the Deep: Sea Unicorns emerge

I'm just going to repost my tweet:

Didn't know where else to put this as the 2020 season was cancelled but the Lakewood Blueclaws (low-A affiliate of the Phillies) have rebranded as the Jersey Shore Blueclaws. They extended the lease of their stadium and will remain in Lakewood until 2031



The name makes sense as the stadium/team has always had a beach theme attached to it (boardwalk in the outfield, lifeguard seats in center field, tiki-bar, mini-golf area, the ushers all wear Hawaiian shirts with shorts etc.). Only worry of course if they get involved with the MTV show and have a special night for them
