A Sea Of Red

If one looks at new logo closely, they will see "LCA" in the center.

You mean like this: HIL-LCA-TS? Whooaa! That is really weird! Falwells are taking over the baseball team too!

Ugly all around.

It's so bad.

Terrible, outdated colors? Check. Ridiculous font? Check. Stupid letter trails? Check. Bad logo designs? Check.

I like the logo. The colors do look a bit dated. I'm not a font Nazi so whatever Better than it was IMO. Plus it's Minor League baseball. It will change in a year or two

Sort of reminds me of Coastal Carolina University's colors.

Honestly I do not see new logo improving attendance and sales at Hillcats Store. If they would lower their prices, it might help sales.

Its not just ugly, its FUGLY

It's minor league baseball it's kind of a thing to have ugly logos

But yeah it really is bad

The logos aren't bad. They're facing the wrong way but they're not bad. The colors and typeface are horrible.

The paper said it was a California company that designed all these. And those will be the new team colors. The Hillcats admins are certain that changing the team's colors and logo will boost attendance.

Eww gross

I think it's all pretty awful

I'm just curious about the concerns of the logo direction, Jon. I get you never want to be going backward instead of forward, but does that hold true in baseball logos? Most of us view the game with baserunners heading left. I have seen discussions from both sides of this issue and don't have any skin in the game. I respect your opinion as a graphic designer.

If that's the thinking behind it then I get it. However, my process and philosophy is that everything should make sense at first glance. Things shouldn't have to be explained. One of my favorite quotes is from a guy named Christopher Chapman. He's the global creativity and innovation director for Disney. He says people may not always be able to articulate the details, but they always notice them. That's the issue at play with the way the logos are facing.

Here's a look at the new Hillcats uniforms. Discuss.

They're almost as bad as the logos.

Thanks to a free ticket given out after a Food Lion purchase, Mrs. Cider and I attended our first Hillcats game of the season. Purple will be pleased to know that not only are DOGS allowed ($2 canine ticket), but the cheese on the nachos is piping HOT and comes with jalapenos!
