March 15, 2017: Avon OH) The Lake Erie Crushers, presented by Mercy, unveiled a
new logo, new uniforms and several new menu items today that will all debut during the
2017 Frontier League season. The new team colors will be purple and white to
accompany the team’s new logo that features a bat wielding, fierce-looking grape, as
tribute to the Crushers name.
When the team debuted in 2009, the Crushers were originally named after the numerous
vineyards and wineries that populate northern Ohio. The name was selected through fan
voting, however previous Ownership selected colors and logos that did not reflect the
origins of the name. New Owners Tom & Jacqueline Kramig, who purchased the team in
February of 2016, have embraced the Crushers name with the new logo, new purple and
white team uniforms, as well as a pledge to serve Ohio wines at Sprenger Health Care
Stadium this coming season.
“Ohio is the 11th largest producer of wines in America, and there are dozens of wineries
in the northern Ohio region, where the team calls home” stated Co-Owner Jacqueline
Kramig. “For this team to truly represent and reflect the local community, we felt the
name and logo should have some connection to local history and businesses.”
The Crushers are also unveiling several new menu items for 2017. Among the new
offerings at Sprenger Health Care Stadium, an herb crusted chicken sandwich, a seasoned
steak sandwich, a chicken sausage sandwich, and for our vegetarian fans, a fried green
tomato sandwich.
The Lake Erie Crushers hope fans will “Embrace the Grape” on Friday, May 12th at
7:05pm for the Home Opener. There will be a magnet schedule giveaway for the first
1,000 fans at the ballpark, and the fan favorite Post Game Fireworks Show to kick off
another great season of Crushers Baseball. Individual Game Tickets go on sale on
Monday, March 20th at 10am.
