New Logo Round-Up, Volume 1

As I mentioned yesterday, I am fantastically behind on my new logo updates. The only way for me to emerge from this self-created morass is to condense a good half dozen or so posts into one. So, here we go with 2008 New Logo Round-Up, Volume 1.

I like the Lowell Spinners' new logo. It's a nice tribute to the mill town history of Lowell, MA. One of my son's T-ball team (ages ago now!) was the Scrappers. And they couldn't have been nicer when I wrote to them asking for maybe a team photo for the T-ball team. They sent magnets and photos and cards to the kids. It made the season special.

Since your comment mentions both the Spinners and youth baseball...I take it you are familiar with the Yankee elimination program?

Hey Ben, I was not - but I will forward the link to the Little League Officers in Sudbury, MA where I live. We really aren't a community in need, but boy I know MY boys never wanted to have to wear a Yankee shirt! And they haven't! Thanks for the heads up! We are loyal fans of the PawSOx!
