Nah. I think we're actually due for a re-brand. Everything since Dundon showed up has been very ad hoc and disjointed. It's time to pick a look and stick with it. Sadly for him, since he seems to want something fresh, the only decent option I've seen is the original. For all its flaws, they still can't touch that original logo. It's distinctive, the color pops and it scales up and down in size really well.
To echo your earlier point, all of the script logos look like something the Mudcats would wear.
Yup. They're all perfectly fine as the text mark, which basically never shows up on a jersey, or some sort of third logo ... but they scream minor league baseball. And I'm concerned that marketing people wouldn't see that. Especially in a minor league market that has seen a team basically wear that same script logo on a jersey in recent memory. You people are aware that the Mudcats still exist. Right? Right?????
I present the Mudcats Friday night “blackout” jersey from 2022.

IMO, he was the guy that was hurt the most by not having an AHL affiliate. He had a decent season in Chicago last year but this year has been a bust, no goals in 30 games with Springfield and none in 7 games with Charlotte.
Probably, yeah. I think the Canes just lost faith that the offense would translate ... and then he had a crap half a season in Springfield, which obviously didn't help.
Yeah ... we've never seen the traditional logo on a black shirt and I think that could be the way to go for the home No. 1. But, again, I think the owner wants a fresh start so I doubt that's where we end up. They seem to be pushing a single letter concept at home with script on the road, and what a team starts off pushing is normally where they end up.
I hope you STM's that got to take the survey did a loud thumbs down to all. They are hideous.
From what I've seen online, pretty much nobody likes any of that stuff.
Harsh, but fair.
