Top Ten Minor League Logos

With a couple minor league all star games the only sporting events toda, we thought it would be a good time to take a look at some of our favorite Minor League baseball logos. They are known for their creative marketing and interesting ways to get the fans out. We decided to take a look at the most over the top logos from minor league baseball today. Here they are in reverse order the top 10 creative logos for minor league baseball.

10. Connecticut Defenders: The submarine bat going through a baseball sunset is a great start to the list.

9. Hamilton Thunderbirds: With a lightning T a swooping ball and a maple leaf and bat thrown in to confirm it is a baseball team in Canada. The Thunderbirds come in at number nine.

8. Winston-Salem Warthogs: This is the perfect example of how to make a minor league logo. First, come up with a regional animal. Second, put that animal awkwardly into a letter from the city name. Third, stick a baseball in his mouth hand or some sort of swoosh going on behind it. Fourth, tie it all together by adding horns to the letter used to make the logo. Fifth, squash it all together and try to tie it together.

7. Lansing Lugnuts: This for sure could have been higher on this list. All it would have needed would be this lugnut at about 8 times the size with the tooth making one of the letters. This design is much better but that would have been more over the top.

6. Lakewood BlueClaws: This is actually my favorite of the logos, mostly because they did not try to put a bat into one of the claws.

5. Modesto Nuts: The Modesto Nuts confirm the fact that as long as you add a baseball and a bat anything can be a mascot. I wonder if they painted the california raisins brown and use them as a mascot.

4. Trenton Thunder: Now we get to the sever weather portion of the list. A cloud holding a lightningbolt acting as a bat. I bet that has the same effect on the ball as Roy Hobbes.

3. Lake Elsinore Storm: They recently had a brand change going from an over the top buck toothed cloud to a spelling of the word storm that reminds me of a tiger. A major league team could never pull off either of these logos, but it is probably pretty fun in Lake Elsinore.

2. Jamestown Jammers This has to be the most ridiculous logo I have ever seen. For starters why is it grapes? Why did they use that blue and green together in the bottom? Why are the grapes mad? Please answer in the comments if you know.

1. Midland Rockhounds: How can this not be rated the most over the top logo? Starting with the oil rigs in the background and the sundial for a watch. This is Flintstones meets minor league baseball in its purest form.
