Seriously! Peoria Motherfucking JAVELINAS!!
Dustin Ackley is a vicious little fucker.
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:
Peoria Javelinas
Mesa Solar Sox
Surprise Rafters
Peoria Saguaros
Phoenix Desert Dogs
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 assume from the logo that "Rafters" is some kind of desert wind
Formerly the Grand Canyon Rafters and the Tempe Rafters

Probably referencing the Colorado River, Grand Canyon, and the rafting thereof

That's my guess
I’d still rather it said Raptors though

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

A crazy-eyed javelina staring at you is one of the first things you see upon visiting my parents' house.

You, sir, are on fire today.
I will smash your face into a jelly.

They had them last year
Seems like they discontinued them. Everybody’s out of stock. Craigslist?

Looks like they have them
right here, and for $5, too.

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

Pretty demanding for a team that doesn't really exist for any meaningful purpose as far as merch goes

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…

Man I wish I had one...
MAYBE you can go down to Peoria and MAYBE if you ask one of the players will give you one.
You got slurved!

I would have gone with Surprise Buttsecks.

Photoshop please.
My first thought was that the Surprise Rafters was the rejected name of the Cuban national team.

Most of him was found inside the javelina that was living in his attic.

I also thought it had something to do with javelins.
