We have more than one nickname...

No... it needs to be FORT WORTH and specific to Fort Worth, period. Like I said, it's rare for our city's name to be seen and heard on the national stage without Dallas, first. "Panther City" is specific to Fort Worth, but it's also vague and unknown to people who dont live here.

Probably... (what the hell is "Floorball"?) As far as the PCLC name, I'm still conflicted... On one hand, it's one of a very, VERY RARE opportunity for Fort Worth to stamp its name on a national product. On the other hand, not only could it be a conversation starter, but it's also elevating the Panther City moniker more so and moving further away from the "Cowtown" imagery, which for a city our size and constantly growing needs to happen.

So "Fort Worth Panthers" is apparently trademarked already. I know the Fort Worth Cats (minor league baseball) USED to be known as the Fort Worth Panthers back in the 1800s, but that can't be it...

And that's a problem...

...oh, I didn't know someone already posted this.

The newest expansion team for the National Lacrosse League and for the city of Fort Worth: ...looks like we went the "Washington Football Team" route with ours. I'm conflicted with both the name and logos. The name: One one hand, I'm glad we're stepping away from the stereotypical cowboys and cattle route for this and using the "Panther City" moniker that's not used nearly enough, imo... but on the other hand, they're not using the actual city's name, which is a major issue for Fort Worth and has been for years. The logo: Looks great. Has the TCU colors (with a little red splashed in, giving an underrated color combo more use) and the panther itself looks sharp with the lone star on top... but the outline of it will make people think San Antonio and the Alamo, not Fort Worth and The Stockyards

Meh... maybe for a high school or college team.

Can you do an old Arena League team. The Fort Worth Cavalry... their colors were like Navy and Gold, but the logo doesn't show it, for some reason.

Why is this so satisfying to see...?

ALSO...

Just a blatant ripoff...

Eh... I don't think they really meant to compete with the Big Four...

And while I'm at it . . . *shutters*

As a native of Ft. Worth... "DFW" is more accurate a label. We don't belong to Dallas and Baylor is more than 70 miles away. I know that ain't much in Texas, but still... Denton is a small college town and UNT uses Dallas in its marketing, so that's understandable. But you don't wanna do that for TCU. Historically, it's insulting. Just sayin'

Thanks. I wanted this entire flag to represent several different things about Ft. Worth. The middle white and 3 red stripes comes from the 1912 city flag (notice "The Panther City" label): The the blue on top and bottom represents the sky and the Trinity River. And of course the star in the shield represnts the Lone Star State. I wish WE could have a flag contest. Certainly need it.

I really, REALLY hate our flag. You can barely even call it a flag... it's just a logo with text on a white sheet. Made one of my own last year with a bit more meaning.

...why does UNT, Baylor, and TCU have "Dallas" next to their names?

I think there are only 4 teams in the Arena Football League now... Really sad to see. It had potential.
