Interesting how close the new Southern Maryland BlueCrabs (Atlantic League) logo resembles the Lakewood BlueClaws logo. Wonder if Lakewood should be considering a trademark infringement action?
Not only are the logos substantially similar but so are the names...
BlueClaws vs BlueCrabs
I think it's a coincidence, and certainly not worthy of legal action.

This league (NIFL) is like a frickin' cockroach. You could throw a nuclear bomb at it and it would still survive

So I'd rather spend a quarter of an ABA franchise to repair my car, as opposed to spending a franchise and a half to get a new car that might have some planned obsolescence that causes it to break down 5 days after the end of the warranty period.

They can only consider trademark infringement action if the logo of Lakewood BlueClaws have the exclusive rights because the trademark that is not registered cannot have exclusive rights and thus cannot be infringed. But if the the case is otherwise, then the infringement can also happen even if there a confusing similarity, although the logo design being similar was not intentional i suppose.
