Does the image of your Minor League team seem stale? Need to keep up with all the cool kids in the crowd? Need someone to come and just fuck your shit up?
Well, introducing Brandiose, the company ruining sports.
New hockey team? You're the Swamp Rabbits!
New Orleans Zephyrs? Too tame. You're the Baby Cakes now!
Wow Hartford, you've got a new baseball team! I'm sure you've got a sports legacy, but let's just throw that shit out the window and give you the Yard Goats!
Goats are pretty cool tho
Lynchburg, jeez. Your colors are so dated. Look at this new design for the Hillcats! Extreme and in your face, right?
Jacksonville Suns? Snore. OH SHIT, it's the Jumbo Shrimp! Now that's what I call intimidating, and kids love it! #BOLDCITY
They're certainly a lot more memorable than the old names and logos, which is literally the point.
Omaha Royals? Who cares about the parent club when you can have a fucking tornado as a mascot! Look, it's even got that angry grit mouth that all of our other shit has!
What the hell is a Rumble Pony? Who cares! Binghampton, say goodbye to the Mets!
it is pretty fucking cool
I miss the old Peoria rivermen logo.
>Amerifranchises™
Why not just have an organic nickname?
What's a Fightin'? I don't know, we passed out an hour into it, but you're going to wear it!
Kill yourself the Chiefs belong to Johnstown you fuckcunts
I'd probably buy these hats
Why are they all so angry
RailRiders! Hnnnngh, yeah! It's a hedgehog or something grinding on a railroad track for some reason!
Akron Aeros? What does that even mean- AWWW SHIT, you're the Rubber Ducks now! Get it? Because Akron has rubber, and...ducks! Like a rubber duck! Ahahaha!
Hmm...
1. Find semi-obscure local reference
2. Concoct two-word name referencing reference
3. Draw angry-faced thing holding something
That sounds simple as hell. Why aren't we doing this? Just string some shitposts from a general together into names and get some sap from /ic/ to illustrate them. Easy money.
Woof woof! The big dog's in town in El Paso!
They better not fuck with the Biscuits
Tides? What the hell is that, Norfolk? Your mascot is water? How intimidating- Yo dawg, you got a seahorse with a fucking trident now! #NEWWAVE
An onion that plays baseball? How quaint.
You mean like the Red Bulls or Xboxes or the Fly Emirates?
Ay yo, this team is bananas! No, Savannah, fuck you, your mascot's an actual angry Banana with a baseball bat now. Such a funny name to say!
>only MLB logos with faces are the Indians and Orioles
>both are happy as fuck
Anger is not necessary friends
...
The anger portrayed by the logo of a mascot is directly proportional to the percentage of the national population that was non-white at the time that the logo was created. Think about it.
Though almost all NFL, NBA and NHL with faces logos are angry
66ers? Why would you want numbers as a logo and mascot when you can have an ANGRY MECHANIC WITH A WRENCH HELL YES.
the thick borders around each one are pissing me off
Minor League Baseball...... In Wichita?!?
Why would anyone want that.
Tell ya what, we're going to move your Royals affiliate to Arkansas and we'll bee nice and give you an independent baseball league team! Hey it's still pro baseball because they get paid to play right? Also, how about a retarded name for the team? How about Wingnuts? Cool? I mean, it's not like Wichita has any other things in its culture to go off of. Who cares if you're the Air Capital of the World?
And they're 2 of the best in pro sports
>Sup Forums changed to the /Shitpost Dogs/
Oh and the blue Jays, not angry, and the cardinals, maybe just a little bit angry
>yfw you notice that the stick is a carrot
Would buy a Hong Kong Combat Orcas shirt
i didn't know soccer teams had names
this was just awful
a Storm Chaser is a real thing, a good logo and a good name
buff those edges
No stupid, like the Manchester Chevrolets™. Or the Liverpool Standard Chartered®. I almost forgot about the Barcelona Qatar Foundations©
Nice and organic
why does the tornado have a baseball bat through the middle of it? looks painful
It saves teams money from having to rebrand as the Flyover Mets once their affiliation with the Dodgers changes every two years
they dont have a stadium though
highdesertyardbirds.com
tfw high desert got a new logo while bakersfield just got some team relocated
What sport are you watching?
Soccer, the same sport you live and breathe Nigel. BTW I'm a big fan of the Chevrolets, but I prefer when they were named the Aons
Those teams don't exist my retarded leaf friend.
Really activates muh neurons desu
Never heard of them before and I live near Greenville
>this thread
Oh god don't remind us Northeast Pennsylvanians
I liked the Red Barons
This minor league team changed colors, too.
>boom
and those are fantastic
Funny enough, this branding ended up working. They stopped trying to be serious with the Diablos and tried kid friendly, now they sell a lot of tickets and have a nice new stadium downtown. Fucking hell.
*muffled cheers of ayy lmao at every score*
what
Minor league franchises are all inorganic
Most major ones have somewhat organic ones, especially recent non-expansion ones
minor league teams try to appeal to normies with kiddies instead of hardcore sports fans
At least Charlotte Knights games are comfy
NC Minor League has the best and worst names
>Charlotte Knights
(Charlotte being the Queen City)
>Durham Bulls
(Fucking iconic. Durham is the Bull City)
>Winston-Salem Dash
(Because there is a dash in between Winston and Salem)
>Greensboro Grasshoppers
Meh
>Hickory Crawdads
(Because half of redneck hickory eats that shit)
That field is small as fuck
Who the fuck thought this was a good idea?
why is the manbaby carrying a ladder with a toaster oven with wheels
...
>fly into research triangle for a cousins wedding
>buy a greensboro grasshopper shirt at airport
now people ask if I am from NC
One of the best NFL unis of all time, I can't believe people thought they were crap back in the day.
Was GOAT of minor league hockey desu
Minor league logos are weird. It's like they were all made by the same guy. They typically have an anthropomorphic creature doing an action pose of the team's sport. I think that's the difference here between the minor league teams and real teams with actual history.
Pic related. Idk why people get so triggered over this team, the logo is classic and undeniably aesthetic. It portrays the native american as noble and wise. If it were a minor league logo, they would probably have him throwing a spear in one hand and a football in the other.
That's a badass fucking name and logo.
what people don't realize is that people in these towns don't give a fuck about their local minor league team normally
the only way to get good attendance at your games (other than have a big MLB superstar on your team for a rehab assignment or something) is to have a meme logo and mascot and have weird and wacky promotions and shit
seriously, name yourself the Chalupas and sell 50 cent Chalupas during the 3rd inning only and watch your ticket sales skyrocket
Pretty hard to believe we're a superpower right?
oh my god are you serious using that word in 2017, like literally are you kidding me? Do you have any idea how insensitive that mascot is, the way that it trivializes proud native Americans with a racist slur. I'm nauseous right now from being so angry how can one man be so utterly ignorant
Nah, Reading Phillies were one of the best attended minor league teams but they threw out the old name for a meme like a fucking ostrich
>a mean mugging shrimp is raping the state of florida
>It's like they were all made by the same guy
The point of this thread was to show that they are
this, don't live there but can confirm that R-Phils games were great
dude i would buy that shirt
Jacksonville Expos
this one hurt
Fresnos team wears Fresno Tacos uniforms every week
IKTF bro. In Bakersfield we were too jewish to replace a 75 year old stadium so we have some meme league and ms paint logo now
bakersfieldtrainrobbers.com
I am gonna miss minor league baseball
seriously, the Biscuits are the GOAT name & mascot.
Name has been around since 1891.
Page 8, first paragraph.

A couple of years ago they were called the Road Warriors. I guess for the local auto companies BMW and Michelin.
Imagine if actual MLB teams were branded like this.
>St. Louis Freebasers
>Oakland Sewage Sharks
>Miami Boat Rockers
Makes me think it's a traveling team or something
They used to be called the Aeros for the Aero Space industry in the area. The new name is because half the tire companies in the country started in Akron and Duck Tape HQ is in nearby Avon, the duct tape capital of the world, so what said
>Fucking Iconic Bull City
This is good. Might cop me some merch.
>Philadelphia Battery Brawlers
Diablos were independent while the Chihuahuas are AAA so that gives them some legitimacy too.
Salt Lake Polygamy Pandas
Atlanta Diabetes Dogs
Seattle Heroin Hawks
Minneapolis Somali Pirates
New York Jewraffes
Boston Fightin' Irish
>(Because there is a dash in between Winston and Salem)

Fun fact I bought a behind the plate give ticket when I was in Vegas to ferry weed across state lines but I bought it for the wrong day and left it for the wait staff if they wanted it. It was an 18 dollars.
