I own Buffalo and Burlington.

Some good cities still available to grab. Nashville, Omaha, Boise, Milwaukee, Salt Lake City, Phoenix, Washington, Pittsburgh.

Denver, Colorado - Bighorns owner QCS has announced the two farm teams that will operate under the Bighorns banner. In AAA, WASHINGTON will receive the BLOSSOMS, named for the beautiful flowers that bloom every year in DC. The Bighorns' AA team will operate in GREENSBORO and will be called the CIVICS, after the Civil Rights Movement, in which Greensboro hosted the first sit-in. 

When asked why the teams were so spread out, QCS responded "I want our players to really feel like they're on an adventure when climbing through to the big leagues. I want them to really feel like they've upgraded after each call-up, from Greensboro, an excellent city and place to live, to Washington, the capital of this country and an incredibly diverse place, to Denver, the Mile High City ready to take on the world. Of course, my East Coast bias came into effect a bit. However, I'm committed to making these teams work and I can assure our players that they will have no worries getting to and from Denver, Washington, and Greensboro."

The Civics will play in Greensboro Memorial Coliseum, a small arena downtown. The Blossoms will play in the brand-new QCS Arena, named after the owner and operator of the team and his design company. 

"I'm excited to share these identities with you soon. I can assure you that you haven't seen anything like them yet!"

I put together a map of the teams so far; only Seattle's farm teams are missing.
This is the map.

I fired up the ol' Google to see how in the heck a team in Sacramento would be named the Whales, and wouldn't you know it, some actual whales have swam up the dadgum Sacramento River almost all the way up to the city. If your mascot isn't named Humphrey you're missing out big time.

Beyond that little history lesson, the Whales are a fantastic identity! 3PT nailed that look for sure. I also love the secondary S-tail logo. And then we have the Surf. Holy smokes. If there was ever a team from 1993, this is it. That gradient hurts me but I can't look away.

@Dr.Pepper, your narwhal logo is fantastic! Love what you did with that.

LMAO!  So real talk, I literally did no research whatsoever on the team identities, I only picked the Whales name because I liked the theme.   I had no idea about whales actually nearly washing into the city, so that's really hilarious!  Also, Humphrey the Whale it shall be for the mascot!

As for the Surf, it's funny, I usually hate gradients, (despised the Jaguars two toned helmet and don't even get me started on the Atlanta Falcons' new red alternates.  They look like mom pants!) but 3 Point really did a awesome job with these.  Definitely hit the beach-side sunset theme I was hoping for!
