Top New Name

The Fort Wayne TinCaps won a recent poll run by MiLB.com. The poll purports to find out which new logo is the best in all of Minor League Baseball. The contestants:
  • Colorado Sky Sox
  • Fort Wayne TinCaps
  • Reno Aces
  • Visalia Rawhide
The Sky Sox were included due to a new logo.

The 1,387 votes -- I know 1,387 votes -- broke down...Thusly:
  • TinCaps (793 -- 57%)
  • Sky Sox (223 -- 16%)
  • Aces (216 -- 16%)
  • Rawhide (155 -- 11%)
I think there needs to be a new poll because of this news.
The Salem Avalanche, a Class A Advanced Carolina League baseball franchise, today announced that it will bear the name of the 2004 and 2007 World Champion Boston Red Sox, and will now be called the Salem Red Sox.

As part of the announcement, team officials unveiled a new logo that features the Red Sox brand and marks, including the team's iconic dangling socks against a backdrop of the majestic Blue Ridge Mountain range, a symbol that is synonymous with the Roanoke Valley. The new uniform will be officially unveiled at a Salem Red Sox fan celebration at the Tanglewood Mall on Sat, Nov. 15.

Red Sox Nation may have a thing or two to say about which logo is the best. Not that they got too crazy with it. Just click on the second link and you'll see the new logo.
