Here's an example of the diverging point being the masses. You can't predict how people will react some days, and this is a perfect example.
After starting life as named after an express train, then as a symbol of atomic power's optimistic future, the less popular Tokyo franchise was once again searching for an identity in the mid-1970s. The previous name wasn't exactly popular with fans either.
At the All-Star break, the team owner announced that this would be their new team name for the next season. The fans made their voice loud and clear:
they wanted the old name back, and the owners would capitulate they loved it. So the name stuck, right as the team finally found its footing.
Tokyo Jaguars
This one basically was spawned entirely from the
inktycoon/Getty Images design that I found online. Not even a colour adjustment, which means another team is going to be wearing green in this league.
The logo font is Varsity Regular, with Adventuring Regular used on the alternate.
The design for home and road is heavily influenced by varsity jackets because the ballpark the Jags play in is also home to Tokyo's collegiate baseball league. The alternate? ehhh, I wanted to have some fun with the snakeskin.
And that finishes the Nihon League! The next three teams are all Zenkoku League - will try to finish before January 7.
