Yikes-Your Tampa Rays

This is just god awful. The Tampa Bay Devil Rays are now officially the Tampa Bay Rays.

These things look like minor league uniforms. They are bland and boring. Are the Rays not even supposed to be sea creatures. From that sunny thing in the middle of the uniform and logo it looks like a sun. Wow, how imposing. The Tampa Solar Flares. Just give up Tampa. Ugh.

Also good job on the TB hats. Its always good to have your hat also be sort of an acronym for a well known disease. Go Tuberculosis Rays.

Whatever. Whatever.

Sigh

I love the hard-hitting MLB story as well!

After months of speculation about coming changes, the Rays spilled the beans about the subtraction of "Devil" from the name, their new team colors -- navy blue and light blue -- and a new icon, a bright yellow sunburst invoking the magnificence of life in the Sunshine State.

The perfect image

for a team that plays inside a dome.

Alternative

They could just start trading/acquiring every player named "Ray" they could think of.

(That would be as effective as whatever they've been doing historically so far...)

Without the Devil part

when you actually say the name it sounds like you are stuttering or are confused. While the might not have liked the name Devil they need to find another word to put in its spot. Also with the sun the name now makes me think of a ray of sunshine. They went from one of the cooler named teams to one of the worst.
