I don’t know why I just found this out now - but the Yakima Bears have announced a new logo for the 2008 season.

The logo is easily one of the best in the Northwest League, and the hats and jerseys are even better.

Announced on November 20th, the Bears will have a new logo, uniforms, hats and a youth logo as well.  Unfortunately, the only known photos of the new gear aren’t available for saving to computers, so I can only link you the page (to see the pictures click on the photo gallery).

The Bears, who are apparently in the festive spirit, are also giving fans a chance to park for free at all of their Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday games.  There are 15 games in total when you can park for free, but there are still 23 when you must park for 5 dollars.

 The Canadians are probably a few months away from announcing their future logo, but has it been already put on the internet?

On sharkbite.ca, there is a logo, where the description is "Vancouver Canadians baseball mascot concept". 

Is this a good logo?  Is it even the future logo of the C’s?  Post your comments down below. 

EDITOR’S NOTE: What a shame to see the Bears trash what was one of the best logos in the NWL, and replace it with logos that are just so pedestrian. There’s no history there, no modernity either, just letters and some terrible stock images. The road logo, in particular, is a shocker.

Not sure where the C’s concept logo came from, but if it’s close to what’s coming in February, I’m comfortable with it. I like the big V, and a beaver is a natural fit for the last Canadian minor league ball club. I’d still like to see a new name for the team, personally, but at least this brings the team closer to what is the best sports logo in Vancouver proper - that of the Vancouver Giants.
