Amarillo Baseball

S. Samek

Keeping up with the recent theme we have another new minor league baseball identity for 2019.

This one is the Amarillo Sod Poodles. Yes the went with the nickname for prairie dogs.

The other options were boot scooters, Bronc  busters, Jerky and Long Haulers. Very heavy on Texas theme and each dumber than the last.

The names all are terrible. I think they tried to clown it up instead of finding a unique and tasteful identity. Heck even going with just prairie dog would have been a better choice, or maybe even just broncos.

The logos are pretty weird too. Upon first look I thought the logo with the big hat was a camel. The other logos make it clear its a prairie dog, but don’t really stand out as anything really cool.

The Texas theme also  is a bit off putting. Like I get it its Amarillo Texas, but why not show more of a city based identity rather than the whole state. Its not like your the Texas Sod Poodles.

Over all I might just call this the worst of the new rebrands or team names to come out so far. Its just a rediculous name with a weird logo. Absolutely a miss in my book.
