It's not like the Cape League is making boat loads of money and not all the teams sell as much merchandise as others. All the folks who do any work for the league are volunteers even as far as taking in players to stay in their homes like in Junior Hockey what I'm trying to say is MLB Properties is run by a bunch a clueless dickheads<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('117979','kranepool'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('117979','kranepool','It\'s not that the teams like the Mets, A\'s, Braves, Mariners, Red Sox or Cardinals have a problem with the teams using their names it\'s MLB Properties that has the probelm with the teams not cutting them into the profits of merchandise sales.

IF they make up names like the Hyannis Musselheads then they can come up with whatever logo they want and make it where ever they want. Ive never been but one would think that local names and brands would add something to the feel of the league. Assuming MLB keeps kicking in their monetary support to keep the facilities top notch. Which I would think they would continue to do.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('117731','BiggieSmalls'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('117731','BiggieSmalls','but Steve.. if they are using MLB Logos and brands I can see their point. \r\n\r\nIF they make up names like the Hyannis Musselheads then they can come up with whatever logo they want and make it where ever they want. \r\n\r\nIve never been but one would think that local names and brands would add something to the feel of the league.

MLB Properties wants to have th efinal ok on any kind of t shirt, cap or tchockie that the Cape League teams sell. By using local bussines to make these items they kepp the cost down and they can get the items to the teams fast. With MLB some dumb ass in a suit will have to review it thenlet it sit on his desk while he goes to lunch by that time it season and summer are over and so is their biggest selling season. For someone whohas never been to the Cape I know it is hard to comprend how big a deal the Cape League is but I'm sure if you spent and evening at Vets Field in Chatam or been to Orleans or Yarmouth for a game and saw the thousands of fans and the thousands of fans and the beautiful surroundings of those parks you'd change your tune.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('117675','kranepool'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('117675','kranepool','Biggie read the story again.

Seems they have no problem cashing MLB's checks every year. This is a copyright issue. These teams are not affiliated in any way with the MLB clubs they are named after. Using MLB names and logos creates confusion and dilutes the MLB brands. They have no right to use logos and names that they did not create or own. Why don't they just come up with their own names for the teams that are more in tune with Cape Cod? I bet they wouldnt call themselves the Hyannis McDonalds and put a big Golden Arches on thier uni's without permission.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('117595','BiggieSmalls'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('117595','BiggieSmalls','i dont get the outrage? \r\n\r\n\r\nSeems they have no problem cashing MLB\'s checks every year.\r\n\r\n\r\nThis is a copyright issue.
