Pacific Coast League (baseball) - New Orleans Zephyrs

New Orleans Zephyrs Unveil New Logo

The New Orleans Zephyrs baseball team proudly unveiled their new logo today at the Audubon Zoo’s nutria exhibit. The revamped logo will be the primary symbol of the Zephyrs effective immediately.

Until this season, the logo had gone essentially unchanged since the organization’s relocation from Denver to New Orleans in 1993. The Zephyrs believe the new logo will give the New Orleans franchise its own identity and promote its most beloved asset - mascot Boudreaux the Louisiana Nutria.

“This is the beginning of a new era for the Zephyrs,” said Dan Rajkowski, Zephyrs’ General Manager. “This logo better symbolizes the Southeast Louisiana community that we represent and allows our fans to identify more with the organization.”

The new logo, pictured above, features mascot Boudreaux taking a bite out of the word “Zephyrs.” A more condensed version, which features Boudreaux biting a single “Z” will be used for the players’ caps. The jerseys and pants of the Zephyrs will remain the same.

The designer of the new logo is Alan Beam of Creos Design Group.

The New Orleans Zephyrs, which celebrate 12 years in New Orleans in 2004, are a member of the 16-team Pacific Coast League and AAA affiliate of the Houston Astros. The 1998 PCL and AAA World Series Champions and 2001 PCL Champions saw over 375,000 fans in 2003. The team also contributes an estimated $25 million in economic impact in the New Orleans region per year. Tickets may be purchased at the Zephyrs Ticket Office (6000 Airline Drive) or ordered by calling the Zephyrs office at 504-734-5155. For further information, please visit www.zephyrsbaseball.com
