It’s no secret that I think the “Ray of Light” is a bit stupid. While I don’t dislike it as much as I used to, they could look so much better. The “Ray of Light” logo doesn’t look that good on its own, the scripts are a crummy Times New Roman variant, the Devil Ray is still on the sleeve, and they’re still navy-centric in a league with too many navy teams. While the fauxback is a nice flash of whimsy, it’s still a ripoff of the 1976-79 Padres (as a New Historicist, I find this a poor attempt to imitate the uniqueness of the wild 1970’s baseball identities). With the Columbia Blue (albeit slightly darker than their current shade) and Yellow, they could have a unique look in the majors (and all of the Big Four, because the Spanoses are a bunch of dicks) that conveys the “Ray of Light” theme (as has been noted on the MLB Changes thread).

Some may remember this winning design from the “Ray of Hope” contest about a year ago. My submission to that contest had a Navy and Lime Green color scheme. Since the Blue, Light Blue and Yellow scheme seems to be the one the Rays are going with, I decided to update my work.

I did change the Primary logo a bit. I added more action to the breaking wave behind the “Rays” script to make it more obvious. I also added a yellow stroke to represent the sunlight breaking out over the wave.

This is a concept I’ve been working on rebranding the Tampa Bay Rays as the Tampa Rays. The reason behind the name change is that I’ve never been too big on naming a team after a body of water/region and I personally think Tampa Rays sounds better.

Inspired by the fantastic work done on the Gridiron League, I decided to try my hand at creating something similar for the Rays. Ironically though, the script font is Fenway Park.
