Behind the Brand: Niagara Rapids

I've always had an affinity for the Norfolk Tides old cap logo of the waves crashing through the wooden boards creating an "N" wearing a ball cap. As such, I have used it for my fantasy baseball team. My first team became the Buffalo Rapids and eventually the Buffalo/Niagara Xpress, which has been documented in the past. But I had a look for this club should I decide to get a customized jersey made (without the logo)...


The jerseys feature my preference of a vested cutoff with sleeves as some of such combinations (Cincinnati, Arizona) have done so quite well. The home white and road gray blue-pinstriped vested cutoffs feature a collar yoke that extends alongside the buttons and either a black or blue shirt or jersey underneath it. The alternates are a combination of blue or black with minor red accentry to accompany. The team letter font is similar to that of Major League Baseball's Mariners, Diamondbacks, or the National Hockey League's former Atlanta Thrashers, while numbers have never actually been decided on.
