Love the move. Navy and gold are a really boring combination, sports-wise.

Looks like the black colleges website lifted the tiger head logo they're using on the Grambling State shirts right from Tin Roof Brewing's Bayou Bengal beer.

So a local young professionals group decided that an unincorporated suburb of New Orleans needed a flag. The Jefferson Chamber Young Professionals unveiled their flag for Metairie - an unincorporated area on the east bank of the Mississippi River in Jefferson Parish (county for everyone else int he country). From the linked article below: http://www.fox8live.com/2018/10/03/jefferson-parish-unveils-new-metairie-flag/

It's OK, a bit generic, IMO. I agree on the odd choices with the blue stroke around "XFL"...it looks unfinished.

It's not you. There's soooooo much white space now.

Awesome. I love to see that you're keeping this going. You've had some really fantastic designs. Can't wait to see more.

I'm right there with ya. Po' Boys would have been so much better (even if it is equally as cheesy).

To me, it isn't the branding that's the problem (I actually like most of the logos and the color scheme)...it's that stupid, stupid nickname.

Well....he ain't wrong.

Interesting....here in New Orleans it's drawing comparisons to the City's current mayor:

Yeah, a good king cake will have the cinnamon flavor in the dough braids....and a good amount. I still, personally, prefer a cream cheese-filled king cake to a traditional, though.

Based on what? I MUCH rather a cream cheese-filled king cake to a plain one.

No one calls it a "Cake Baby." It's a King Cake Baby.

I don't think blame can be levied on the branding company here. The new owner put out a call for name suggestions and received thousands of submissions. They narrowed it down to 10 or 15 and then announced 3 finalists. I lay blame FULLY on the new owner for picking this junk.

I HATE EVERYTHING Not one person I know thinks this is a good change. NO ONE uses the term "Baby Cake." I gotta get my hands on a Zephyrs hat before they're gone from stores here. But this is what happens when an owner from outside of the region decides the team name needs to be more "New Orleans." To be honest, the 3 finalists they picked were all pretty bad and lacked any real "New Orleans" ties. I would have been fine with Crescents, PoBoys, Krewe, Rougarous or even Crawfish over this garbage. I do think the logos are mostly nice. The hat logo isn't bad....but I can't bring myself to buy anything with any of these new logos because it would make me an accessory to this crime.

...and here I was worried that the proposed new names for the Zephyrs would be the worst in the minor leagues.

More than likely, it's inspired by this:

Agreed. Chances are that most everything "available" on that site for purchase has never once been purchased.

I could stomach "Po-boys" or "Crawfish" since it's a minor league ball club. I'd absolutely hate any of the others. "Night Owls" would be clever if the area were known for owls or a particular species of owls. Instead, it just gives you a terrible acronym by which the team would be called.......the "NO-NOs."

None of them. "Crescents" would have been a much better option than any of these.

Seven finalists for new Zephyrs team name unveiled This is SOOOOO bad.

It states the following on the same page (now the truth of it could be a different story:

And the Big Sky football membership swells to 14 now......I think that's too many in FCS. Do we see a Big Sky schism in the future? I don't believe that divisions is plausible for football since they can't have a conference championship game and still participate in the playoffs.

I like the idea for Bonn, but the difference in stroke weights make it look like elements from different a designs were just thrown together. I understand you can't have much heavier strokes on the lion at that current size, but it just looks off to me.

Very nice, although I would get rid of the gray around the LT logo and just use white.
