Gfxbomber Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 league don't know what you guys are thinking when you see that Orlando logo it's Ok. The best logos are 1. LA Palms 2.Richmond Elite(close call between 1&2) 3.Twin City Jazz(their previous West Virginia logo sucked) 4. Baltimore Hawks(new logo) 5. Atlanta Aliens(cool concept) 6.Native Pride Honorable mentions: Pensacola Lightning, Steel City Yellow Jackets, Texarkana Panthers,NYCourtKings,Yuba City Gold Miners, Kentucky Enforcers Absolute WORST logos in the history of basketball *Tie 1. Danger! Grand Rapids Danger , Atlanta Storm(the same 4 year old must have made these both) 2. West Texas Whirlwind. 3. Team Network(if that's the logo I'd hate to see the uniforms or the team play) 4.Charlotte Crunk 5. St. Louis Soul(why the name change the logo sucked but the rhythm names not bad..generic but not bad) 6. mid south echos Dishonorable Mention California Golden Tigers, Indiana Terminators, Miami Midnites, Jersey Xpress new(ugly logo), Florida Pitbulls, Note: they must be pumping the water in the Carolinas with creativity and originality.. what genius let them name their teams the same thing? The South Florida Gold must be drinking the same water as the teams in the Carolinas... stealing logos from the D league.. Shame on you south Florida Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twi Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 If that Baltimore Pearls logo wasn't labeled as such, I'm not certain I would know that word was Pearls. What a terrible font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyk33 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Does DMV stand for Department of Motor Vehicles in this case? Because no human being would ever root for a team representing the DMV. I don't think people working for the DMV would even root for that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
