Help identifying team logo

[jerichoholicninja]

I found this hat a few months ago and I've been trying to identify the logo ever since. I've scoured the SportLogos.net website and haven't found it. I've contacted them a few times and never got a response. The style is very similar to the Cubs and my best guess is it's the former Midland Cubs but I can't find any images of this logo for them. I DM'd the now Midland RockHounds on Twitter about it and never got a response either. The hat is New Era, early 90's I'm guessing by the tag.

 

Anyone have any clue who this is?

I'd check with the gang at Uni Watch. They're approachable on Twitter and Facebook.

My guess is that it's a college team. I suppose it could also be a high school team, that's around the time I was in high school and I remember some teams had custom logos, though I'm not sure if New Era was doing the hats for HS, Legion, etc. teams at that point.

Ya, the fact that it is New Era makes me think it's a minor league team and not local/high school/college.

Thanks. I just tried to message their facebook page and it told me to email them so I did that. Maybe they'll finally have an answer for me.

The way the M is shaped I'd wonder if its not some Hockey team cap.

I do have a New Era team issued college baseball hat that is from the late 80’s or very early 90’s.

 

Not what you are looking for, but the logo has some similarities to the ones used by Mission City Baseball (shown below) and Michigan Center High School (LINK).

My guess is it is a college that starts with an M, as in M_____ College.

 

Either way, this is a fun needle in a haystack search. I hope someone cracks the case.

 

As I come across them I will list any colleges that use an MC on their baseball hats with a link below:

 

Midland College (LINK) - wrong color scheme

I've found a lot of schools with an interlocking "MC" similar to that but never one like the hat.

I figured you’ve already searched far and wide. Will let you know if I come across anything closer. I can see why you would assume the Cubs connection, the “C” is very similar.

I started with the C assuming this was a Cubs minor league affiliate. The only affilaite they've ever had that had initials MC was the Midland Cubs so I thought I figured it out until I scoured every logo I could find for them and nothing is like this. They used the C with Cubs written inside of it or an M like the Milwaukee Braves M but thicker. I suppose I could contact the Cubs but based on the lack of responses I've gotten from everyone I've contacted so far that may be a lost cause too. Maybe I could try New Era since they made the hat.

I'm really intrigued by this search. I hope it's something really cool, or a beer league softball team. Milwaukee Chuggers?

I was thinking "M_____ College" too. I looked at all the ones I could find in Illinois, Indiana, & Iowa, since the Cubs are popular in all those states, increasing chances some team would "borrow" the Cubs logo, much like there are high schools in Wisconsin that used the Wisconsin W (until the university threatened to sue them). I couldn't find anything that matched, but many colleges have changed logos since the early 90s. This is a needle in a haystack search, but someone will figure it out.

Honestly, it looks like it could be a high school or youth sports team logo. Simple and somewhat crude. Or even a summer baseball league, like legion. Anything like that from around your area?

[WestCoastCrew]

Of course, that sent me to a Google search, trying to find something.

 

These probably aren't them, but they are similar:

Early 90s you say....MC like Custom made for MC Hammer? LOL :O

99% of the MC logos I find look like that but it's not the same. The C is elongated like the Reds and not square like the Cubs.

Could be anything. Any club team can buy blank hats and get them embroidered locally. Maybe not as common back then but still possible. Maybe local Home Talent, Land O Lakes, Legion ball?
