White Sox affiliate name change Cannon Ballers

CurlyKarkovice · 10-25-2019, 11:11 AM

This post is for GMs with a dynasty (or about to start one) using the MLB Chicago White Sox. And if you like to keep the realism.

The A team for the White Sox in Kannapolis changed their nickname and logo and added a blue color. No longer the Intimidators. Now the Cannon Ballers. Pretty cool logo of a mustachioed dare devil flying like being shot out of a cannon.

Link to an article and the logos are attached.

Okay logo. Dumb nickname. But the nickname for the high school in Kannapolis is Little Wonders so I guess it's par for the course in that town.

The old Intimidators logo was a White K with some mad looking eyes and teeth and weird hand holding a baseball. Huge Upgrade imo, but I'm partial to mustaches as well. Much nicer to look at when making minor league promotions to me.

In commemoration I think the parent club should shoot their players out of a cannon on opening day to their position on the field.

The logo is much better. It sucks that they had to get rid of the Dale connection, though.

I don't hate it.

I read that the mustache on the new logo is a nod to Dale.
