Burmy Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I saw the ABA 2000 is now on the mothership...given the league's history of teams which have come and gone, this could quite possibly be one of the bigger undertakings in SportsLogos.net history. As such, I thought I'd help alleviate the load a bit (and encourage others to do the same): Given the unstable nature of many teams, several of these logos will be TERRIBLE...neither Chris nor myself can be held responsible for any damage done to your eyes from this point forward. You have been warned.Jacksonville Giants (2010-present) South Florida Gold (2013-present) Chicago Steam (2008-present) Vermont Frost Heaves (2006-2008) (moved to PBL) Arkansas RimRockers (2004-2005) (moved to NBA D-League) More on the way...

As I said, given the league's "$10,000 and you get a team" policy, hundreds (if not thousands) of teams have come and gone, several having not even played a single game...so this could be the most daunting task the mothership has ever taken up.
