Minor League Baseball - Best Hats and Team Names

Starting with an absolute bang. 10/10 wordplay on choosing the mascot, and bonus points for having arguably the best logo in the Minors.

A trend you’ll notice is I’m a huge fan of outrageous and long team names. And niche mascots of course.

One of the finalists for best hat in the Minors. I like the logo a ton, but I LOVE the team name. Idk where Kannapolis is, but I wanna catch a game.

One of the best logos we’ll see today, and I have no clue why they used the Spanish word but makes it even more unique.

Why’s the crawdad lying so seductively? Are you trying to get me to fuck you, Hickory Crawdad?

Mascots that have no business being a mascot of a sports team always get me going.

I don’t understand it, but I don’t need to. Fire logo, funny name, quality hat

A little plain, but what an electric name. Big fan when the city name is a nickname. This team’s in Pasco, Washington — Tri-City’s way better.

City I’ve never heard of: ✅ Animal that’s never a mascot used: ✅ Naming that animal something random and niche: ✅

I think this is my #1 logo out of ALL of these. This logo fucks so hard. I’ll buy a jersey right now.

A prairie dog is already a pretty apt and funny description of the animal. But Sod Poodle somehow is 10x funnier. What a logo too.

Could’ve done better on the hat when you have an elite mascot, but easy choice for having a food with googly eyes as their mascot

No funny shit here, just an outrageously sharp cap with a unique logo and elite team name.

Great city name, great team name, unreal logo. Checks all my boxes (evidence by the last 3, I’m a sucker for some cartoony-Googly-eyes.)

Hate the color way, but love the ingenuity. I also don’t know what the goat is chewing but I imagine it’s a broken bat? Which is sick

I think this is far and away the coolest/most stylish hat in the bunch. Great team name as well - unique and sharp.

Didn’t even look at the hat for this one. When your team name is basically 5 different words AND has a connection to The Office, I’m sold.

Missed opportunity by the Mariners to not claim this as an alternate logo. Holy shit this is fire. Aggressive color, but unreal logo.

Was kind of shocked this one didn’t make a deeper run in the tournament, cause that logo is sensational. Looks like Geodude from Pokémon stuffed inside a clam.

This catfish just makes me laugh and I’m not sure I can explain why. His big dumb face jammed inside that C just works for this Bean.

Don’t know where Lake Elsinore is or how this hat correlates with a “Storm” team name, but I’m here for these types of designs. Goofy but unique.

Best colorway hat in the bunch. Fire logo too — the steam coming out of his nose. Bonus points for not just doing “Moose” and having Blue Rocks.

I had to Google because I wasn’t understanding this mascot. Apparently it’s named for the trees and I love the creative logo. Also, they used an alt logo in 2023 called the “Exploding Whales.”

9 times outta 10, if you put a dog in your logo, and have said dog dressed as/doing the job of a human, it’s gonna be a yes from me.

Similar to the Mudcats earlier, I like how the Sea Dog cozies up to the logo. I also love the cartoony angry eyes he has.

Fine logo, not bad at all, but this is included for their Team Name and nothing else. I fucking love the Rumble Ponies.

Another finalist which shocked me a little, but I think this is such an elite cap. Team name, city name, logo combo is 10/10 to me.

Like I’ve said ad nauseam, I love a funny mascot that I’ve never seen before, and this fits the bill.

Had to close things out with the team most near and dear to me: the Spartanburgers. Pits of Hell level fire. And this isn’t even their best hat — they have the best logos and merch in the Minor League Game.
