Texas Rattlesnakes would resonate with more people than St. Louis Vipers, just sayin. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustABallCoach Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I'm guessing the the red,orange and black logo goes to the refinery with fire video. My guess is Houston Rougnecks or Wildcatters - both of which I dislike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentColon2 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Even though Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat is billed from Honolulu, he’s actually from NY. Therefore, New York Dragons confirmed! LOL The Undertaker is from Houston. For a short time the WWE used the gimmick where he was a biker American badass. Therefore, Houston Undertakers MC FC confirmed!!!!

I deal with athletic team branding every single day, and in my professional opinion... "Allow me to open with a token gesture of faux collegiality meant to imply that I'm open-minded to considering the opinions of others. Now that I've gotten that out of the way, let me immediately make a point of telling you just why my professional experience renders my 'subjective take' as clearly more informed than your own and, thus, worthy of being regarded as fact by the general populace." Quote The poor identities, names, logos and color choices severely hindered that league’s ability to pull in fans. Or, maybe what truly "hindered that league's ability to pull in fans" was the fact that after the repeated launch and failure - or, in many cases, outright failure to even launch - of alternative football leagues including the likes of the USFL, IFF, XFL, UFL, FXFL, and A11FL, fans have grown increasingly jaded about investing time, money, and even attention into such ventures. Quote What they needed to do was strike a balance between modern and timeless, like the NFL. Gee... I wonder how the National Football League has managed the trick of "strik[ing] a balance between modern and timeless" in its team logo and uniform designs? It couldn't be the fact that the NFL - and a significant number of its franchises, particularly those that sport more "timeless" looks - launched 60-plus years ago, could it? I mean, I've heard it said that some of the NFL's teams have actually been around since... the 1920s!!! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gargoyles always seems to be one of the most popular recommended names for New York teams whenever there's a thread about nicknames that go well with cities. 2 Quote I've got a dribbble, check it out if you like my stuff; alternatively, if you hate my stuff, send it to your enemies to punish their insolence!

I had a fantasy football team dubbed the New York Gargoyles for four seasons back in the mid-to-late-'90s. It's always struck me as a no-brainer identity for a New York-based sports franchise. Frankly, I'm surprised that it's taken this long for an actual pro team to adopt it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBGKon Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 So I screenshotted the images and these were what I saw in order: - a wave - a reptilian eye - gargoyle statue - someone working at a refinery - a city street at night - grassy field - the fan of a plane engine - a fighter pilot flying - a cavalier statue - US Marines - fallen leaves in a forest - a tattoo - a pack or bikers Some of this surely combines ideas into a name, but Washington might be the Marines. Cavalry might be another name, as is something oil industry related (Roughnecks, Wildcatters, etc). Gargoyles is likely there too. Any other suggestions?

daniel75 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 God I really hope Gargoyles isn’t a team name, that’s just bad. Try saying “Go Gargoyles” out loud, it’s not pretty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, if the fans call them 'Goyles casually, they can chant GO GOYLES and then it just sounds like "Gargoyles" so it works perfectly if you really think about it.

Ark Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Gargoyles Go sounds sounds good as well. Someone said this on here recently, fitting into a generic overused chant is one of the last things that should be considered for a team name.
