About seven years ago, I introduced the sport of roller bowling to these forums. Here is that thread:

Well, I am proud to say that I have given the uniforms for all 36 teams in the NARBA (North American Roller Bowling Association) a fresh update for 2018. All the teams are still at their locations, but a couple have changed their nicknames; the Calgary Southerners are now the Calgary Bighorns, and the Florida Piranhas are now the Florida Barracudas. While this is the second thread about NARBA, this is actually NARBA 3.0, because I created another set of uniforms between the above thread and now. If I can manage, you'll see the NARBA 2.0 uniforms as well as the original NARBA uniforms.

 

I am posting five images for each team (one for the original uniforms, two for 2.0, and two for 3.0), therefore, I will have each team be their own post. I will get things started by posting the map for all 36 teams and the NARBA logo evolution, too.

 

NARBA old logo:

NARBA new logo:

The 36 teams are divided in to 6 leagues of 6 teams each. The league names are as follows:

 

Big Western League

Corridor League
Golden State League

Great White North League

Midwestern League

Southeastern League

 

Since it is first in alphabetical order, I will introduce the Big Western League and its teams in the next several posts. Mods, if this is not the appropriate forum for this, please move it to one that is.

Pennsylvania Hawks

Location: Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA

Colors: Black, Gold (Pantone 116 C)

 

Originally the Philadelphia Golden Hawks and having a more drab shade of gold along with white, the team moved to the state capital of Harrisburg, but made two compromises. One was to keep the Golden Hawks name, which was eventually shortened to just "Hawks". The other was to adopt a black-and-gold color scheme to entice the fans in Pittsburgh and the western parts of the state. Here is the team evolution:

Anaheim Express

Location: Anaheim, California, USA

Colors: Orange, Sky Blue

 

Throughout its history, the team has never felt at home since the move from Central Africa to Anaheim. Along with a tweak of the team's 2.0 logo, the new colors of the team get things going in that direction. The orange comes from the county flag, while the blue comes from the city flag.

Los Angeles Stars

Location: Los Angeles, California, USA

Colors: Gray (Pantone 445 C), Yellow

 

As mentioned in the original NARBA thread, the league used to be one team named the California Stars. When it came time for LA's team to have a name; naturally, they went with "Stars", due to the name's history. This time, though, the name is dedicated to the stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. That is also where the gray color comes from, while the yellow comes from the limelights of the soundstages that dot the LA area. Here is the team evolution:
