“Rich,

Yup…The logo looks alot like the Trenton Thunder logo (the AA

afilliate of

the BoSox…might belong to the Yanks now, they were negotiating

swapping

teams). It’s fine as far as minor league logos go. It just doesn’t have

that

timeless quality you would expect.

“Picture” logos always run into trouble because artistic styles change.

I’m

sure the bluejay head was hot looking when it came out, but now it

looks…well, very 70’s.

A clean style, like the Yanks, the Mets (A combo of the Dodgers and

Giants…you don’t think they CHOSE orange and blue out of the air, do

you?) the Red Sox, the Dodgers….they’re timeless. Look at the Expos, the

old,robotron SOX logo for the whitesox, etc…Dated, very quickly.

I understand the rationale of finding new ways to sell Jerseys and such.

I think it detracts from the mystique and history of the team…”
