Plainfield Monkeys announce logo

The Belknap League's newest member has announced its team logo. It is based on the Family Guy character "Evil Monkey" with a slight adjustment to the pointing finger, and of course the almost compulsory inclusion of a Tango ball.

The Plainfield Monkeys' logo was designed by Mike Ewer.
