2 year lifespan. Not sure why these leagues try to keep getting things going.

I think it's funny they put that POS bridge in the logo. Like it's some sort of great BR landmark.

If you look hard enough, you can see the traffic backed up on the bridge from a wreck at the 1 lane merge.

Decades living in Baton Rouge and I've never heard Zydeco music played or mentioned. Usually, when a sports team appropriates someone else's culture, they at least have some tenuous tie to it.

The tenuous tie is that it's in South Louisiana.

Just having the old name “Kingfish” would have drawn crowds…shite, the merch would sell good.



I give the team 2 seasons max.

And once again, BR screws something good up.

Should have dropped the “Baton” from the name and named the team the Rouge Sticks. They could have had a red anthropomorphic hockey stick as their mascot and named him “Sticky.”

Well, this will be fun for about 2-3 years until they relocate back north somewhere...

I'd focus more on getting the BR Rougarou to play at a baseball field not in the ghetto.

The 337/225/504/985 are all vastly different in their own unique ways. Zydeco does not tie all of them together, not even in the slightest.

Logo needs a smoke plume from the burning 18 wheeler on the bridge.

Why is this not surprise me that this is the best they can do...... I need not even get into the name of the team, but you could have at least crushed the logo, I mean who the hell designed this. Our logo designer for work could have done that in their sleep. Dude said the logo was busy yea right.

Can we petition for a logo redesign already, this is terrible. The kingfish logo from the 90s is better than this new stuff

I mean I'm still buying tickets though LOL
