    The Devil Rays changed their name to simply Rays...and changed their colors from green and black to dark blue/navy blue....the logo is like a sunburst or something.

    I like it, feels more like a baseball team now...though I don't care much for the sweep of the "R" in the name.

    I think they should drop the "Bay" and just be the Tampa Rays instead of the Tampa Bay Rays. Besides, the name of the city is Tampa.

    I think they should go one step further and name the team Tampa Ray

    Why is almost every team now going for some sort of combination of blue and another GREENISH/BLUEISH color? :rolleyes:

    ALMOST. That was the first thing I thought of... too many DARK BLUE teams out there.

    Are they also going away from the sea creature "ray" to a sunbeam "ray" of light?

    A POS by any other name is still a POS...

    Yeah looks like it...I think they want to essentially disassociate themselves with the past and move forward from here.

    Don't forget:

    I think the Mariners are more green than anything...In fact I don't recall much blue in their unis at all...unless I'm mistaken. Plus they're unis have been around a lot longer than the Padres, Jazz, Nuggets, Blue Jays and whoever else that went to the blue scheme.

    It's not a bad color scheme...though I suppose it is a bit overused...at least none of these schemes are completely similar to one another...not like the freakin' Dbacks complete ripoff of the Astros colors.

    Yep . Thats the first thing I thought upon seeing it . It looks like a A ball team's logo . It looks like it could be an orange juice logo for some reason too ? :confused:

    Eh, they got that logo in '93. It's been awhile but I wouldn't say a REAL long time.

    The more I look at it, the more I'm thinkin that the logo would look better if the diamond was taken out...it's unnecessary.
