The Frisco RoughRiders are minor league affiliate of the Texas Rangers. In 2016, the Frisco team was placed on the 10th line on the Forbes list of the most valuable minor league baseball franchises. The quality of the Frisco RoughRiders logo was arguably among the factors contributing to the result.
While the name of the team creates a clear link with the parent franchise, the emblem itself has been entirely independent and doesn’t seem to have been affected in any way by that of the Texas Rangers.
The following variation is less straightforward. At least, we can’t even see a horse on the emblem. The “rider” concept here is reflected in the main character’s outfit – he appears to be a mixture of a baseball player and a rider.
While the Frisco RoughRiders logo comprises three of the most popular baseball logo colors (red, blue, and white), the palette has a highly distinctive look. That’s because the designers have opted for comparatively rare shades of these colors: scorched red, slate blue, and Texas navy. Also, they added cream and beige for the rider, which made the color scheme even more recognizable.
