Among a series of brand changes unveiled today, the Syracuse Chiefs have added a Native American-inspired logo to their set. Yes, in 2015.

The 11 affiliated teams that rebranded during the offseason can be broken down into three categories: new teams playing with new names in new
When the New York Mets announced that they would rename their newly acquired Triple-A franchise in Syracuse the Mets last season, I was hoping that it would feature a modified version of its iconic skyline logo. A look that was quite popular with many of its affiliates during the 1980s,
Since the invention of the colour wheel by Isaac Newton in 1666, art teachers around the world have been using it to torture unwitting students. But we’re here to prove that the colour wheel can also be used for humane purposes! It’s Opening Day for Minor League Baseball, and with
The Rocket City Trash Pandas won’t play a game until 2020, but already the Double-A Angels affiliate in northern Alabama is breaking Minor League Baseball sales records. The previous record for sales in a three-month period (the standard length of time that MiLB uses to gauge merchandise sales) was $300,000,
