Your Flashback Friday Supplement
The year was 1994. The Appleton Foxes had just wrapped up their final season at Goodland Field. The decision had been made that there would be a new name and new logo to go with the new stadium.
The reason for this particular Flashback this week is the announcement of the new logos on the way for the Timber Rattlers. (By the way, you may check out Fang’s new countdown video over here. Good grouping!)
Where was I?…..Oh, right, 1994! Below are four logos (and three names) that were considered as a replacement for the Appleton Foxes. There will be a link to the Flashback on this post when it goes up on the main website. For now, enjoy and think what might have been. (UPDATE: Here’s that link. Read through to see which other teams were in the running with Seattle to be the parent club of Appleton Pro Baseball)

Wow did they make the right choice back in ’94.
Current? Ouch, and team names that don’t end in S rarely work out.
Phantom’s isn’t bad, but why would our mascot have been an umpire?
Love Timber Rattlers and am glad there’s no chances to the name forthcoming.
