If Memphis is teasing that the red/blue is theirs, then the purple/gold one maybe (even though it’s most likely a crown, it could maybe be a trident) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzzcut Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Birmingham's full logo in this tweet: The CCSLC's resident Geelong Cats fan. Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends.

WideRight Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 Have to say I am underwhelmed. Memphis and Atlanta names just seem lazy to me. I guess you could say that about B’ham too. The designs are ok, though none are great, but there were so many better name suggestions out there. Express for Memphis is the worst. With both Elvis and Egypt options they go with a blatant Fed Ex reference? ATL also is so generic. It would honestly be better to have Memphis use the crown logo and have Atlanta be the Express with a train reference. Got to say the UFL did better with the Loco’s, Redwoods, Tuskers, Colonials, Nighthawks, etc. Not to toot my own horn, but I honestly think the names and designs I came up with in the alternate history/concepts thread are more original, locally relevant and engaging, and I forced myself to use only non-count nouns for names.

Survival79 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 They look like they were designed in the early 2000s. And not in a good way.

FinsUp1214 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I’ve gotta admit, I really like the Apollos. The other three are alright, but not as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrimalCookie Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I’m definitely getting a shirt with the Apollos logo on it. It’s really good, and easily my favorite out of the four (although that’s not a very hard distinction). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentrygraphics Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 With names like Legends, Iron, and Express...the names are underwhelming and I'm surprised we got the middle-of-the-road results that we did.

CrimsonBull9584 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Personally, I prefer animal mascots as opposed to abstract ones. Express, Iron, and Legends are all like that, but... I don't mind. I like them for what they are. The Apollos is the best so far. I hope the teams out west have more animal mascots. I'm still hoping or the San Diego Orcas! Now I can't wait to see the uniforms and helmets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soblito Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Just read that four names and logos have been announced: Memphis Express, Orlando Apollos, Birmingham Iron and Atlanta Legends... Pretty weak! They don't pop. They're PC names. Should've been something fans can sink their teeth into, names that have some character. Memphis Pharaohs Orlando Thunderbolts Atlanta Leopards Birmingham Bulls For the others, how about: San Antonio Stallions San Diego Armada Utah Pioneers Arizona Outlaws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really disappointed with these. No disrespect intended towards Joe, who normally does fine work, but based on these primaries alone I could rattle off a half dozen members of these boards who probably could've created better primary marks. Atlanta's branding seems particularly off the mark to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
