Southern Maryland Blue Crabs News Release


(Waldorf, MD): When the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs marketing department met last month in an effort to drum up support for the team's 2010 playoff run, they didn't have to look much further than home plate at Regency Furniture Stadium. The same interlocking "BC" logo that appears behind the plate could be painted on any grass, right?

Once again, the die-hard Blue Crab fans of Southern Maryland did not disappoint in their eagerness to support their team. Within hours of the Blue Crabs posting on their website that the same BC logo that appears on the field at the ballpark could be painted on any fan's yard for free, appointments began to fill up. As of the weekend of August 14, nearly 20 lawns have been adorned with the logo, with several more scheduled.

This campaign fits perfectly with the Blue Crabs 2010 post-season rallying cry, "CODE BLUE." A season ago, the team qualified for the Atlantic League Playoffs in just their second season of existence, and won their first playoff series in franchise history, ousting the Long Island Ducks in the Liberty Division Championship Series. This season, the Crabs are looking to take things one step further, and bring home their first Atlantic League championship. At 65-40, Southern Maryland holds the best record in the league.

"It's been really fun because everyone is asking about it and our neighbors want it done now. We just love the Blue Crabs and want to show everyone our strong pride," said Carlton Leslie, who was among the first to have the logo painted on his yard.

"We got the logo painted in our driveway so it will last longer. I told my husband he can't park in the driveway and cover up the logo. We are the biggest Blue Crabs fans and all my neighbors have come over and asked who they can call to get the logo painted in their yards," said Alice Baggett.

It's certainly not too late for fans to have the logo painted at their home. To make an appointment, please contact Blue Crabs Marketing Manager Courtney Freeland at cfreeland@somdbluecrabs.com or call 301-374-1130 to reserve your spot today. The Blue Crabs ask that fans are home when their lawn is painted, so the logo is painted in the desired spot.
