SALEM, VA - The Salem Avalanche, Advanced Class-A affiliate of the Houston Astros, has released the designs for their on-field caps for the 2007 season. Along with a color-change from brick red to scarlet red, the Avalanche has made a total transformation to their on-field and retail logos.

"This is a great opportunity for Avalanche fans to be the first on their block to sport the new-look Avalanche logos," said John Katz, Avalanche VP / GM. "The subtle color change from brick red to scarlet will make our colors more bold and give our team a fresh look on the field in 2007."

The new logos were created using a focus group of front office members, field personnel and merchandise managers in select Minor League markets around the US. The logos were designed by New Era Cap, and many elements were kept from the original "New Avalanche" logos designed in 2004 by Chris Henwood. Henwood's design elements from the 2006 HCA Virginia Carolina League / California League All-Star Game Logo are featured on the new Road Cap, and his Avalanche Kids Club design has been modified for a new-look Batting Practice Cap.

"We wanted to really dress things up for 2007 and set our club apart," added Katz. "Bold colors and clean logos will do that, and we are looking forward to seeing our players 'toe the line' for introductions on Opening Night next April."

New caps will be available for purchase on December 18th at the Avalanche Team Store -- just in time for Holiday shopping.

New Home and Batting Practice jerseys will also be part of the new Uniform plan for the Avalanche in 2007. Home Uniforms and BP Tops are manufactured by Rawlings; Road Uniforms are made by Wilson.
