Peoria Javelinas

Seriously! Peoria Motherfucking JAVELINAS!!

Peoria Javelinas! What a great team name. What's a Javelina? A miniature spear? Nope, it's a Peccary, a nasty hippo-pig native to the desert Southwest, and Central and South America.

Peccaries are medium-sized animals, with a strong superficial resemblance to pigs. ... By rubbing the tusks together they can make a chattering noise that warns potential predators not to get too close. Peccaries, indeed, are aggressive enough in temperament that, unlike Eurasian pigs, they cannot be domesticated as they are likely to injure humans. Indeed in recent years in northwestern Bolivia near Madidi National Park there have been reports of people being seriously injured and killed by large groups of peccaries.

Hell yeah! I love this pig-like Tayassuidae! So now I can go to MLB.com, click "Minor League Shop" and find me some motherfucking Peoria Javelinas gear, right? No? What?? NO! Nothing!! Fack!!! Why the hell not? Hello, LOST REVENUE. Check out these Arizona Fall League logos:

Logomesa_medium Mesa Solar Sox

Logorafters_medium Surprise Rafters

Logosaguaros_medium Peoria Saguaros

Logodesertdogs_medium Phoenix Desert Dogs

Logoscorpions_medium Scottsdale Scorpions

 

I like the Solar Sox logo too, and the Surprise Rafters nickname. But I really want a Javelinas cap. How do I get one?

Fuckin' Javelinas dude.

Ackley, concerned that an actual Javelina might be on his tail.

I wish that instead of "Rafters" it was "Raptors"

And the logo was some Raptors throwing a surprise party.

I would also love to have a Javelinas hat.

I like it

The Saguaros logo looks too much like the Taco Time logo.

They had them last year

Seems like they discontinued them. Everybody’s out of stock. Craigslist?

Thanks

But ""New Era Adjustable", blech. Got to be fitted or Flexfit.

More like "coveting" than demanding

But they are out there, just “out of stock” at every turn. The logo on the hat Ackley is wearing looks more silvery than this so maybe it was updated for this season. Or a photographic illusion caused by the dazzling Arizona sunshine.

Perhaps you could find some phone number to call in Arizona

as it seems that they’re impossible to find. Though, while searching, I did find out that this wondrous creation exists…

I also thought it had something to do with javelins.
