Baseball in Fort Wayne

Additional information according to Greater Fort Wayne Business Weekly:

The team’s new colors are red, brown and green. A mascot and uniforms, hats and other merchandise have not been designed yet, Freier said. An alternative logo depicting the letters “FW,” for Fort Wayne that potentially will be used on player caps, also was unveiled.

Freier said the colors and apple theme reflect the team’s goal to create a park-like atmosphere at the stadium. While the name was selected before the team inked its deal with Parkview Health for the stadium’s naming rights, Freier said he was pleased the name fits with the health care provider’s sponsorship of the stadium.

Commentary found on The AdamSaurasRex:

Here’s the new name and logo of the former Fort Wayne Wizards baseball team. I think the type could really use some adjustment, but I have to say I really like the little apple guy. My first thought … it’s going to make an awesome hat!

Special thanks to Stephen at AroundFortWayneBlog for getting me the logos slick since I could not be present for the press conference.
