3. Tampa Bay Rays
The Rays dropped “devil” from their name after the 2007 season, and this paid off for them as their luck turned around and they made their first trip to the World Series the following season. It has been rumored that religious fans wanted “devil” dropped due to the name sounding Satanic.
However, this logo change may not have sat well with other fans since the main point of their logo is now a ray of sunshine. A sting ray tail can be seen in the “R,” but the mascot is not featured as prominently.
