If they wanted a music related name how about the Baton Rouge Blues? At least we have a connection to the blues.

I’m guessing there might be trademark issues with Kingfish. Even after all these years it might be considered IP of whatever entity the ECHL was passed on to/turned into.

The only positive about it is the “red stick” hockey stick

I found this to be the only bit of creativity in the logo.

The bridge in the background? Why?

I get that it's right next to downtown but it just looks so poorly done and as cheesy at the BRProud logo.

The cheesey fleur de lis in the 0

FWIW, the Baton Rouge flag does carry the fleur de lis:




Again this is extremely similar energy to when the Baby Cakes got redesigned because the organization picked some random group based out of California to try and design this with MINIMAL input from the community.

The logo carries too much of that minor league 2000s energy and the lack of symmetry in the logo is really making me annoyed.

Even if so, how much could this realistic cost to purchase?

I jokingly asked my friend to make a new logo for me so I can give it to the new team and she said it costs "thousands" to rebrand. So someone spent at least 5 figures to come up with this.

But that’s my point.

There’s a Red Stick
AND a drawing of the bridge
AND a fleur de lis

because it’s Baton Rouge. and we write the word Baton Rouge in the logo , but we also have to represent it/reference 3 times in the logo because it’s Baton Rouge.

cheesy and lame

Looking at the logo they came up with, more than this team can afford.

Why not the "Redsticks"? There's a big flipping red hockey stick you could keep in the logo....

I want this to work so bad but they are already losing my support over the name, logo, and season ticket prices.

I'm still trying to figure out what Baton Rouge and Zydeco have in common!

This looks like it has the SWB administration's hands all over it. Terrible logo, even worse name.

season ticket prices

28 home games

$18/game for Blue
$16/game for Orange
$13.61/game for Purple
$12/game for Green

These aren't outrageous and an easy escape from the heat for 4 of the 6 months they play

I don't think those prices are really that bad. Essentially a movie ticket per game

Name and logo leave a lot to be desired. All they had to do was reboot the Kingfish and at the very least it would build a lot of excitement for the first couple of seasons and it would probably survive longer than it's going to now. I'll probably still go to some games while they're here. Hopefully they're still in town when my son's old enough to understand what's going on
