New York Yankee and Trenton Thunder fans - get ready for a new logo!
(Trenton, NJ)- The Trenton Thunder, Double A Affiliate of the New York Yankees, unveiled new logos and uniforms that will be used during the 2008 season at a press conference held in Waterfront Park’s Yankee Club and Conference Center on Thursday afternoon.
The new primary logo features an animated cloud holding a lightning bolt and incorporates the navy blue found in the New York Yankees color scheme. The new alternate logo is an animated lightning bolt holding a bat to form a ‘T”.
The new primary logo will be worn on the home and road team caps starting next season. The alternate logo will be used on the team’s batting practice caps.
Fans are able to purchase merchandise featuring the new logo in the Thunder Company Store at Waterfront Park and online at www.trentonthunder.com. Caps, adult t-shirts, adult long-sleeve t-shirts, adult sweatshirts, adult polos, youth t-shirts, novelty baseballs and Thunder pennants are all available now.
“We’re very excited about the new look and I think our fans will be very excited too,” said Thunder General Manager Brad Taylor. “To show our fans that we continually want to provide the best, we have come up with a fresh, exciting and modern look.”
The new logo will replace the “Thunder God” logo that has been the primary mark of the team since the 2002 season. The team used the “Thunderbird” logo from the team’s inception in 1994 through the 2001 season.
Regardless of logo, the Thunder has been among the Top 20 in merchandise sales in all of Minor League Baseball since 1994.
The new Thunder logo was designed by Studio Simon of Louisville, KY.
The Thunder conclude the home portion of the regular season this weekend as they host the Binghamton Mets, Double A Affiliate of the New York Mets, tonight through Sunday. The team will finish the season on the road at New Hampshire, Double A Affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, on September 3.
The Thunder appear poised to clinch the Eastern League Northern Division’s top spot and would host playoff games 1 and 2 at Waterfront Park on Wednesday, September 5 and Thursday, September 6.
