Name of Potential New MLB Orlando Franchise Revealed and it is Very Bad
By Michael Luciano
Pat Williams, the main catalyst in giving the NBA the Magic, is once again trying to bring a professional team to Orlando. This time, he's got his eyes on Major League Baseball.
Williams has already unveiled the name and logo of a potential new franchise or relocated team that would call Orlando home. Let's just say it's underwhelming at best.

Oof. Sounds like Williams clearly went with the first draft and didn't listen for any better alternatives.
The logo and color scheme didn't do anything to distinguish it either. The Dreamers logo consists of a baseball and two interlocking baseball bats with a generic red, white and blue banner.
The official logo unveil for the #OrlandoDreamers.

More teams should use Times New Roman when making their logos. The logo looks like what a baseball video game would use if they didn't get the license to use actual MLB logos.
This isn't like when some minor league baseball team rebrands to something outrageous (shoutout to the Rocket City Trash Pandas). At least those are funny in how nonsensical they are. The Dreamers is the most bare-bones, generic name out there.
Williams might have convinced the NBA to come to Orlando, but it doesn't look like he'll replicate it with the Dreamers.
