PRESS RELEASE – The fans of the Lafayette Aviators have once again spoken and strongly signaled their desire to be represented by the mustached jacketed aviator as represented in the team’s new logo.
“After naming the team we set out on a path to once again give the fans the right to put a stamp on this team as their own. With that, they chose from three logos we believe all represented the community in different ways. The fans chose the Aviator as our primary logo and we couldn’t be prouder to move forward with that as our representation not only in this community but others as well.” said Mike Zimmerman, CEO and owner of the Lafayette Aviators. Zimmerman is also the owner of MKE Sports and Entertainment, LLC, the operating entity of the Aviators.
“With the announcement of today’s final design choice for the Aviators team logo, it is thrilling to see the complete brand and see the making of the new Prospect League team for Lafayette become a reality. Thank you to the community for your support and help in making this franchise development a true team effort. We are looking forward to future baseball progress announcements and can’t wait to see everyone on opening day at Loeb Stadium in June 2016.” said Lafayette Mayor Tony Roswarski.
The Lafayette Aviators will kickoff their season on June 1st, 2016 when the team makes its home debut at Loeb Stadium against the visiting team from Lisle, Illinois.
