The CBL announced today that Omaha, Nebraska would get an expansion team next season. "The league is trying to expand to new markets, and Omaha is rich in baseball history." The season would be played at Rosenblatt Stadium, then starting in April, the home games will be played at the new stadium downtown.
The team will be called the Omaha Cyclones, for Omaha's history of tornado disasters. "Tornados are a moving force, which the team will be someday. So I'm in favor of the team name" local resident Ben Matukewicz said at the logo unveiling. The colours will be Black and Yellow, which no team in the league uses. The Black is for the colour of tornados, then yellow for the corn grown in the state of Nebraska. The primary features an O with a tornado formed in the middle. The whole set can be seen here.

Yay Omaha! Great choice of team name and colors. And the entire set looks great.
