I'm not sure I get this. If a Yard Goat really is a mechanical thing in a train yard....and the name pays homage to the train history of Hartford, why is it a cartoon goat and not a train?
If a flute with no holes is not a flute, and a donut with no holes is a Danish, who is working at the lumber yard?I'm not sure I get this.

To their credit, they did a very solid job with their branding. Logo/font & caps look good, and using the Whalers colors is a nice touch. (better job with the logo than the CT Whale did).
Not sure they are going to appreciate a coke-riddled engineer representing the team. Then again, the parent club is The Rockies, hailing from Colorado.Don't bother with the Name the Mascot contest, I already submitted the winning entry - Casey. An iconic name in both the baseball and railroad worlds.
Is this serious? The Whalers have one of the all-time best logos, it's why you still see it all over the country.Baldwin screwed up with the Whale branding. The name was fine - the logo was terrible. If he had a great logo and the XLC renovations occurred at the time the Whale came to be I think they'd still exist (also if Baldwin wasn't broke). Good intentions, good idea, bad execution.
Yeah, but Casey was also a goat. You can't be up there taking strikes with the tying run on 2nd.Not sure they are going to appreciate a coke-riddled engineer representing the team. Then again, the parent club is The Rockies, hailing from Colorado.
He's was referring to the Whale. Not the Whalers.Is this serious? The Whalers have one of the all-time best logos, it's why you still see it all over the country.
That ad campaign is painful.I wonder if DirectTV will sponsor ads at the new stadium. Because with DirectTV we don't get goats. We get a horse.
My bad, thought he was the only person on earth who didn't like the Whalers logo.He's was referring to the Whale. Not the Whalers.
