Default Worst pro sports logo ever

Wichita lost it's AA Royals affiliate this offseason to Springdale, Arkansas a town of 62,000 (Wichita has a 450,000 metro population). So after that embarassment, the city has brought in an independent team and today they introduced the name and logo. Tigers pitcher and Wichita native Nate Robertson is part of the ownership group. Here it is....

Man, its almost a shame this team is in the AA rather than the Northern League. That logo would really fit in well with the Mickey Mouse organization the NorL has become.

I thought this was going to be another thread about the Canucks.

I saw that, is the fish completely gone, and now they are referring to the sun's rays? Weird, isn't there a Lansing Lugnuts?

I'm thinking the fish is gone completely.



Sorry to derail the thread, but this wasn't really worth its own

The Tampa Bay Rays? Crappy name for a crappy team, I guess.

The Rays made a big mistake changing their uniforms. After they switch from the rainbow bright abominations to the green based versions they wore until last year, I think they were among the best in the league.

Now, they're just boring.

Speaking of the NASL, I think I had a Tampa Rowdies jersey when I was younger. I have no idea why, but I do have a memory of a Rowdies jersey in my closet.
