11 | Montgomery Biscuits (AA – Tampa Bay Rays) 10 | Trenton Thunder (AA – New York Yankees)īravo to the team at Trenton for finding a way to make a powder blue cloud legitimately intimidating. And it seems like a good call by him, since he clearly has gigantism of the dukes. That’s an ostrich putting up his dukes like an old timey boxer. 9 | Reading Fightin’ Phils (AA – Philadelphia Phillies) It’s a tornado made out of a baseball impaled by a bat. 8 | Omaha Storm Chasers (AAA – Kansas City Royals)
Can’t say I support going whiz wit-out, but don’t let that take away the enjoyment of a giant cheesesteak on a hat. Much like the Fresno Tacos (nee Grizzlies), the Lehigh Valley IronPigs did a temporary rebranding as the Cheesesteaks to honor local cuisine.
7 | Lehigh Valley Cheesesteaks (AAA – Philadelphia Phillies) I like the muscular shrimp organically forming the letter J - that’s quality design. The Jacksonville Suns just rebranded as the Jumbo Shrimp. 6 | Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (AA – Miami Marlins) My only disappointment is that the hop is wearing a hat with an “h” on it, not this hat, which would’ve created an endless embroidery loop. Much like the angry oyster above, it’s hard to make a sinister hop (is that the singular?) - maybe even harder - but they pulled it off. 5 | Hillsboro Hops (A – Arizona Diamondbacks) This team in Frisco, Texas uses a sluggin’, Rubenesque Teddy Roosevelt as its logo. RoughRiding isn’t just for CFL teams anymore, baby. 4 | Frisco RoughRiders (AA – Texas Rangers) And it produced this hat, which is really the pinnacle of sports merchandise. The Fresno minor league team is actually the Grizzlies, but they did a temporary rebranding to celebrate Fresno’s proud history in tacos and the taco-related arts. But it appears this Sasquatch was fathered by the Jolly Green Giant, which is worth suspension of disbelief. The logo celebrates the Pacific Northwest’s biggest celebrity, the Sasquatch (no offense, Eddie Vedder). It’s not easy to make an oyster menacing - especially an oyster in a Gilligan hat - but they did a pretty good job pulling it off. 1 | Biloxi Shuckers (AA – Milwaukee Brewers) Now they’re figuring out that if they rebrand to more off-the-beaten-path mascots and logos, they can move merchandise - even to people who’ve never been to a game (or the city).īelow are the hats for 11 Minor League Baseball teams who are doing funny, weird or otherwise comically commerce-worthy with their logos. Minor league baseball has been embracing gimmicks at its ballparks for several years now (it’s easier to draw people to a single-A baseball game when there are four-foot donuts and performances between innings by 2/5ths of Chumbawumba). Those are the new logos for New Orleans’ minor league team, joining a growing - and frankly wonderful - movement of minor league teams getting weird with their branding. And what drew me back in?Ī minor league baseball team turning its logo from a zephyr into a mean, giant baby. And just as I was ready to get back in, the election happened, and I quickly re-upped my embargo. Here are some of the best ones out there today.Īfter the World Series, I decided to stay off the Internet for a while. Minor league baseball teams are getting weirder with their logos.
