SportsLogos.net, a website dedicated to the history of sports logos and sports uniforms, has announced its annual "Creamer Awards" for Best New Logos of the past year, and the 2017 Northwest League/Pioneer League All-Star Game logo has been nominated for Best League/Event Logo of the Year.

The Creamer Awards are named after SportsLogos.net founder Chris Creamer. The annual awards consist of the Best Primary Logo, Best Alternate Logo, Best Event Logo (such as the MLB All Star Game) and the Best Anniversary Logo. According to Creamer, the guidelines for the annual Creamer Awards are determined by average rating scores by users visiting the website. Logos worn in a game in 2017 are eligible.

The 2017 Northwest League/Pioneer League All-Star Game logo currently sits with a 6.4/10 rating on SportsLogos, based on 158 votes.

The game was hosted in Hillsboro, OR, home to the Hillsboro Hops of the Northwest League. The Northwest League All-Stars defeated the Pioneer League All-Stars on August 1, 2017 by a score of 5-4.

The logo's design is based off the Hops logo design with the team's color scheme and font. The All-Star game logo also includes familiar visuals to the Hillsboro community, including Ron Tonkin Field's distinct roof structure, Mount Hood, evergreen trees, and a single green hop in front of a light blue star.

The 2017 Creamer Awards have been unveiled, and the 2017 Northwest League/Pioneer League All-Star Game logo was the winner of the Best League Logo of 2017.



The logo was designed by Dan Simon of Studio Simon, who was involved in the creation of the logos and word scripts for the Hillsboro Hops.

Behind Northwest League/Pioneer League All-Star logo for the Top 3 was the NHL's Centennial logo and the logo for the NHL's 2017 Winter Classic in St. Louis, Missouri.

Here's what a few members of the voting panel had to say regarding the All-Star Game logo:

“I’ve never been to Hillsboro, Oregon but this logo made me feel like I’d be welcome there at any time and that’s mostly due to the font. Also, this logo did a great job of taking the primary elements from the Hillsboro Hops’ primary logo and turning it into a logo that would fit seamlessly into the Hops’ identity. It’s a lovely visual mark and one of the better logos that you’ll see at the minor league level.” – Demetrius Bell

“This logo accomplishes a lot without feeling cluttered. It incorporates the Hillsboro Hops’ logo as well as some iconic scenery from the Northwest League’s environs, and maintains a pleasant, eye-catching color palette.” – Paul Caputo

Congratulations to the Hillsboro Hops and the Northwest League!
