In an incredibly minor move, the Talons have made the decision to instead put their Single-A team in Hamilton, Ontario, rather than Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Our organization would like to apologize for the Oakland players who brought chains and bats to the negotiations that ultimately led to a lockout. We should have….. wait, we don’t have players? Who the hell were those guys wearing shirts with our logo on them?

The Tampa Bay Turtles are a proud member of the AltLB and the superior American League. After their initial years playing home games at Publix Park the Turtles are excited to usher in the modern era at the new state of the art Disney's Magic King Dome. The domed stadium couples baseball Americana with the design and hospitality expected at a Disney theme park. This home field experience is a must for anyone passing through Florida.

In their close partnership with the Walt Disney company the Turtles have selected Disney World's Wide World of Sports complex as the home of their AAA ball club the Orlando Turtles. While the name Turtles may seem inside the box for minor league sports it actually could be considered outside of the box since they are the only AltLB Minor League team to share a name with their parent club. Most importantly the Baby Turtles are known for their rebranded nights. Often themed after famous Disney attractions. Their special ball caps are collector's items for Disney fanatics.
Despite playing a great distance from their parent club the Growlers play in owner Gritty's home town. Northern Colorado is one of the most rich regions in terms of micro-breweries. The famous beer growler serves as a great name as it is blended with the black bear which often roams the region. The Growlers play at the Poudre Riverfront Park. It is the major river system in Northern Colorado. The park is nicknamed 'The Cache' as a reference to the Cache la Poudre River. Back in the town's history smugglers used to hide gunpowder in the nearby hills, hence the name 'Cache'. 

Draft day was a tough day for Gritty as his plan was to move into his hometown of Philadelphia. The second best option was to move a minor league team into the Keystones backyard. The Single-A Jellyfish play in Cape May, New Jersey. Cape May lies at the most southern tip of New Jersey. Fun fact, that is the fictional location of Gotham City in DC Comics. Across the bay is Lewes, Delaware which is the fictional location of Metropolis. Cape May is the only town in America that is fully known as an Historic Landmark. The Jellyfish play at Sand Castle Park and serve as a great entertainment option for people visiting the South Jersey Shore. 

Each of the minor league teams in the Turtles organization share similar color palettes. The Turtles are excited to see their future ball players grow in a strong farm system.

 

Dan O'Mac here, time to share the Oklahoma City Bison organization! Of course, the goal is to be right here in Oklahoma City, playing for the Bison.


Our Triple A team won't be too far from Bricktown, as we head down the road to Tulsa. As one of the most submitted, voted for, yet still not selected names, we have decided to name them the Barons. Pulling the logo from the flag of Tulsa to tie into the branding of the Major League Club, the Barons look great in Cream, Brown, and Sky Blue.


The stop below that is in the state of Alabama, in the burgeoning city of Huntsville. "Rocket City" is a growing city, working on developing new technologies for NASA's rockets, as well as being a burgeoning center of biotechnology research as well, Huntsville is a city on the rise. Named the Rockets, because there doesn't need to be a deep dive to get a great name.


And our first stop on the road to Oklahoma City is in nearby Arkansas, the capital city of Little Rock. Handing much of this brand off to my 8-year old son, he decided the name would be the Thunderbolts, the colors would be blue and yellow, and did the general design for the logo.
