The first book published by SportsLogos.net, The Story Behind the Nickname, tells the story behind 100 nicknames of minor league baseball teams, from collegiate summer level to Triple-A. Minor league baseball team names tell the stories of towns throughout North America. Nicknames like T-Bones, Crosscutters, RubberDucks, Wingnuts, and Isotopes—to name just a few—are more than just whimsical, catchy brands. They carry significance unique to their local communities.
This collection of articles, originally published on this site, is collected in a handy printed compendium that reflects five years of interviews with front-office personnel from teams ranging from collegiate summer level to Triple-A, as well as designers like Jason Klein of Brandiose, Dan Simon of Studio Simon, and the inimitable Todd Radom.
