Salem Avalanche Unveil New Logo

The Salem Avalanche front office has announced the release of a new logo scheme for the 2005 season. The new logo features a wooden capital letter “A” with snow covering the peak and a baseball’s path crossing to complete the letter. The lettering of the word “Avalanche” keeps the wooden motif as well. The logo and lettering will be featured on the 2005 team apparel and all Avalanche merchandise. The logo will also be painted on the field behind home plate for each 2005 home game.

General Manager Jamie Toole is excited about the fresh, new look.

“It is relatively common practice for clubs throughout minor league baseball to modify and in many cases completely change their logo scheme,” Toole said. “As an organization, we are tremendously enthusiastic about the fresh look and have already begun to hear a lot of positive feedback from season ticket holders, corporate sponsors and our counterparts throughout Minor League Baseball.”

Prior to the 2003 season Salem still used the original “Shooting Baseball” design from the 1995 season, but changed the color scheme from purple to red with the announcement of the four-year player development contract with the Houston Astros. In 2004 the Avalanche used a commemorative logo on all correspondence marking the 10th season of Salem Avalanche baseball.
