The problem, you see, is that if you go over to the Hockey section of this website and check out the review for the Pensacola Ice Flyers of the Southern Professional Hockey League, you'll see what is in my opinion one of the best reviews I've written. Okay, so it's not much of a review. Its mostly just a wry history of Pensacola. But I like it. And there's not much I can do to make this review as good as that one. Sure, I could just copy-and-paste that stuff into this review, but that strikes me as cheating. I should be able to find some motivation here. For one thing, until 2011 the Pensacola Blue Wahoos were the Carolina Mudcats, and were one of the two teams closest to me (I live about halfway between Five County Stadium and Durham Bulls Athletic Park). So on principle, I should really be pissed at the owner of the team for stealing them away from me and thus should be inclined to really tear into this logo. But I'm not pissed, for several reasons. I rarely made it to games (my wife isn't a baseball fan and going alone isn't much fun). I prefer the Bulls anyway. Five or six years ought to be enough to get over any anger about a team moving, especially when there's another one just as close. And besides, the Mudcats aren't actually gone. When the Southern League Mudcats moved to Pensacola the Carolina League Mudcats moved from Kinston. So I'm just not bothered. And it's not a bad logo, really. It's not a particularly good logo, but it's not a bad logo. The fish in the logo is a reasonable approximation of a wahoo if you ignore the hot pink accent on top. The lettering is unexceptional but serviceable. The hot pink is an odd choice for a secondary color but it does keep the logo from being too aggressively mediocre. The same can be said for the hook in the wahoo's mouth: it's a bit silly (it's clearly intended to indicate that this is "the one that got away" but somehow fails to convey the toughness that would be implied), but it makes the logo a bit more interesting. No one is likely to be bowled over by this logo — I'm certainly not — but no one's going to be thinking Whiskey Tango Foxtrot about it, either. Rather like this review, I'm afraid. Seriously, go read the Pensacola Ice Flyers review if you haven't already. Hell, read it again if you have. It's a good read.
Final Score: 189 points.
