The Fort Wayne ... TinCaps?

They're no longer the Fort Wayne Wizards, folks. The Midwest League baseball franchise has changed nickname to coincide with moving into a new downtown ballpark next season.
The new nickname? The TinCaps. No, really, the TinCaps.
The logo actually looks fairly cool. It's an apple with a face, wearing a pot, I guess. The nickname has something to do with Johnny Appleseed regularly wearing a tin cooking pot upon his head.
OK, that begs this obvious question. Is it a good logo and nickname when you have to explain it to everyone?
Here's a link to seeing the new TinCaps logo:
