Minor League Baseball Logos
The professional baseball season is fast approaching. That means warm weather is on the horizon for a Chicago Cubs fan living in the Chicagoland area like myself. This post isn’t about the big leagues though, it’s about the minor leagues. Minor League baseball teams have always impressed me with their creative naming and logo designs. Here’s a sampling of my favorite logos. If you want to find out about a specific team, I’ve included a link to each organization’s web page. Simply click on the name. Also, if you’d like a comprehesive list of all the Minor League baseball teams you can visit their website at minorleaguebaseball.com.
This list is presented in alphabetical order. However, my three favorites are the Cedar Rapids Kernels, Trenton Thunder, and Williamsport Crosscutters. (Honorable mention goes to the Connecticut Defenders.)
Brevard County Manatees – Class A Advanced Affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers
Buffalo Bisons - Triple A Affiliate of the New York Mets
Cedar Rapids Kernels – Class A Affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels
Charlotte Stone Crabs – Class A Advanced Affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays
Colorado Springs Sky Sox – Triple A Affiliate of the Colorado Rockies
Columbus Clippers – Triple A Affiliate of the Cleveland Indians
Connecticut Defenders – Double A Affiliate of the San Francisco Giants (Now the Flying Squirrels, but still a cool logo!)
Fresno Grizzlies – Triple A Affiliate of the San Francisco Giants
Lancaster Jethawks – Class A Affiliate of the Houston Astros
Lehigh Valley Ironpigs – Triple A Affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies
Modesto Nuts – Class A Advanced Affiliate of the Colorado Rockies
New Britain Rock Cats – Double A Affiliate of the Minnesota Twins
Quad Cities River Bandits – Class A Affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals
Richmond Flying Squirrels – Double A Affiliate of the San Francisco Giants
Sacramento River Cats – Triple A Affiliate of the Oakland A’s
State College Spikes – Class A Affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates
Syracuse Chiefs – Triple A Affiliate of the Washington Nationals
Toledo Mud Hens – Triple A Affiliate of the Detroit Tigers
Trenton Thunder – Double A Affiliate of the New York Yankees

Old School Renderings
Check out this collection of architectural renderings I found while browsing Flickr for some inspiration one day. I love vintage, hand drawn renderings and this set caught my eye. The technique, color and composition are all first rate for the time period and style. What caught my attention most was the added “elements.” My two favorite renderings are the first and the last. I sort of wish I could get a print of the last one with the deer and hang it up in my office.
According to the post on Flickr,
The images in this set are from ‘Great Ideas for Second Homes: A Portfolio of 20 Distinguished New Designs in Plywood, published by the American Plywood Association in 1969. These plans were meant to be ordered from the Home Building Plan Services of Portland, Oregon.
The fantastic illustrative paintings were done by Lorenzo Ghiglieri.
