    Houston: Not a fan of their branding. There's not much more you can do with an oil derrick logo that hasn't already been done. Don't like the forced H. With a name like Roughnecks, you'd think the emphasis would be an oil worker instead of the derrick.

     

    Based on the amazing sleuthing done earlier I’m certain that oil derrick logo will be the secondary even though it’s presented as the primary. 

    This screams helmet logo since it’s a dead ringer for flying Elvis.

    My biggest issue?

     

    The intro video for LA started off pretty neatly.. the sun is going down.. shots move from glitz and paparazzi up into the hills as twilight approaches..

     

    "they've already begun to prowl.. enter their den"  okay, I'm thinking, 'what kind of wild animal lives up in the hills? In a den?" Coyotes?

     

    Then they show some shots of COUGARS... (or PUMAS... MOUNTAIN LIONS... CATAMOUNTS -- take your pick)

     

    Great big animals that exist in not only in California, but in the Los Angeles area:

    (I wouldn't want to face one of these in the Hollywood Hills)

     

    Then they hit the tagline name: "This is our time to roar... THE LA WILDCATS, unleashed February 2020"

     

     

    WHAT THE...?  A cougar is not a wildcat.

     

    A wildcat in North American is technically the Bobcat, much smaller than a cougar or lion (but bigger than a housecat).

     

    Basically, very wimpy. Joggers have nothing to fear from wildcats or bobcats. 

     

    Should have gone with "California Cougars"  (especially since they are playing in Carson and there is no San Fran team this go-round) but I can understand the new cultural term of "cougar" as a horny older woman screwing that up (although it doesn't seem to hurt BYU, Houston, Washington State, or countless high school teams).

     

    Pumas would have been a nice alternative, and a nod to the area's Hispanic culture.

     

    But "Wildcats" SUCKS.
