The top-level farm club of the Cincinnati Reds will look a lot more red in 2016. Today the International League’s Louisville Bats unveiled an entirely new identity, new colours, new logos, new uniforms, all that remains is the team name. The old, unique colour scheme of black, purple, and gold has been
We’ve hit another watershed moment in the Washington Redskins nickname controversy, and this time it’s coming from the players themselves. On Sunday, Washington lost to the currently-undefeated Carolina Panthers 44-16. Now, you’d think that with a scoreline like that, it’d be kind of hard to find blame with the officials.
There are two versions of the mid-1800s legend of a minstrel who gets lost in rural Arkansas and stumbles across a squatter playing a never-ending tune on a fiddle. The first is told by Arkansans themselves, and has its roots in a tale told by Colonel Sanford Faulkner, an important figure in the
Certain things come in groups of threes: celebrity deaths, stooges, and now apparently new league logos for Minor League Baseball. Following in the footsteps of new logos for the Appalachian League and Southern League comes the new logo of the Texas League, designed this time by Schilling/Sellmeyer and Associates, an advertising/marketing agency
The Dallas Cowboys and Carolina Panthers have both unveiled their Color Rush uniforms for their Thanksgiving clash, and one team is bringing back a familiar look while another is adding to an already solid look.

The Harrisburg Senators, Double-A affiliate of the Washington Nationals, will commemorate their 30th season with a specialty logo. More importantly, the team will revive long-missing mascot Uncle Slam, who was last seen in the team’s logos in 2005 (at right). Uncle Slam will be featured on the Senators’ alternate cap in 2016, and
Among a series of brand changes unveiled today, the Syracuse Chiefs have added a Native American-inspired logo to their set. Yes, in 2015. Not the sort of move you’d expect these days; coincidentally the announcement coming the same day as the University of North Dakota’s name change. The biggest change to
Gray uniforms in sports are all the rage right now. We all know that black-for-black’s sake isn’t going away any time soon, and it appears that gray-for-gray’s sake will be joining its darker counterpart as well. Nowhere is this more evident than in the NBA, which is seeing teams pick
The University of North Dakota Fighting Hawks! That’s the new name of the former UND Fighting Sioux, announced at a press conference held by the school today following the results of a vote. In all over 27,000 votes were cast with Fighting Hawks beating out the runner-up “Roughriders” to the tune of
Minor league baseball’s brand new Hartford Yard Goats may have gone full wacky with their logo and nickname, but their new uniforms, just unveiled today, have a definite classic feeling. Traditional home whites and road grays feature the Yard Goats word marks, which echo type taken from the logo for the
A couple of weeks ago, we got a look at a mockup of the Knicks 1950s-era throwback uniforms that they’d be wearing at what was then an unspecified date. Now, we know when the Knicks will break out the throwbacks, and that date is tonight. Apparently, the team is going
