Baseball in Fort Wayne brings us the news:

With 1,387 votes being cast by Minor League Baseball fans across the country, the TinCaps garnered 793 votes (57% of all votes cast) to route the competition. 

I'll be perfectly honest and admit that I hadn't even realized that the Wizards had changed their name. I'm looking forward to the actual uniforms. I'm picturing some Captain EO style metallic fabrics and/or extensive use of vegegation.

Maybe a Project Runway episode is needed here! Make it work!

I like this logo

though the apple should look more friendly and be missing a tooth.

It took me forever to figure out

that there’s not a branch growing out of the metal.

i thought it was a guy with a really really red face and a huge double-chin, then the branch confused me….

Meatball reincarnate.

Yes. Hoffman’s agent is a sloppy drunk. That is exactly what I’m saying.

Everyone Seems to Love it But Fort Wayne

When they first announced the new name and logo, there was a lot of backlash in the community. I was glad to see the MiLB faithful recognize it’s fit with the rest of the Minor League Baseball landscape. Heck, when the Wizards’ name was announced more than a decade ago, most of the communtiy hated it too. Can’t wait to see the merchandise either. I’m told it should be available in time for the holidays.
