"We are thrilled to have earned our way on to this list for the second straight season," said Storm Chasers President and General Manager Martie Cordaro. "We are incredibly thankful to our great and loyal fanbase for their continued support, as well as to the efforts of our Merchandise Department led by Assistant General Manager Laurie Schlender and her staff."

"The teams have done a tremendous job of using their team marks and logos to build an identity that is appealing to fans not just locally, but in some cases, globally as well."
