Let’s face it. When the Las Vegas Aviators revealed their new logo in December 2018, it didn’t exactly go over well.

People said the Aviators re-branded logo looked like Ant-Man, Carnac the Magnificent and a Mount Rushmore figure with the top of his head on fire.

But interestingly enough, even though this logo was revealed more than four years ago, it appeared that the “LV” insignia on caps, jerseys and shirts has eclipsed the Ant-Man logo as the most popular mark for the Aviators.

Many fans wear a cap with an LV on navy blue or gray caps and many jerseys on display at the Aviators team store at their ballpark in Downtown Summerlin showed the Las Vegas and LV look, not the aviator-looking mark.

Take a look:

The Aviators did give away 2,000 freebie ballcaps as a promotion Friday, when the team announced attendance of 7,120. The Aviators, the Triple A affiliate of the Oakland Athletics, defeated the Round Rock Express, 5-4, and improved their record to 36 wins and 41 losses.

The team’s giveaway hat had the Ant-Man look:

The Aviators play Round Rock again Saturday. Round Rock is the Triple A affiliate of the Texas Rangers. Saturday’s game is 7:05PM and the first 2,000 fans will receive a free camouflage jersey.
