schlim Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 This field lacrosse league debuts with six teams with no homes, but each having their own identity. Here's a Sports Illustrated story about the creation of the teams' logos and identities: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaGlowin Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Love the Whipsnakes and Chrome colors!!! See, that's what I've been saying! Not all teams have to use non-traditional colors, but it's awesome (imo) when they do. I also love how someone FINALLY is using Redwoods again. Good colors there too. Can't wait to see the unis for this. Last updated 2/26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Section30 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 So if none of the teams have a home will this be like the Three's league where they just travel around or are they looking to find homes?

leggman01 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 there is a youtube video that is pretty interesting (search for the premier lacrosse league page and find the video Announcing Our Teams)...gives a pretty good overview of the design process they took - there are some really incredible logos left on the table that you get quick glimpses of...i'd love to see those, too!

raysox Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I was on board for this league, then they released the team logos and i'm sort of turned off. They have such good league branding and gave us six unlicensed lacrosse video game crests. Also calling teams lacrosse clubs seem really weird for a travel league. Team Chrome and Team Redwoods seems like it'd be better. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 In my opinion, the mark for the Archers is the clear standout amongst the PLL club brands, while the Whipsnakes logo is also very appealing. The rest really do nothing for me, with the Chaos and Chrome identities striking me as looking particularly dated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkerws Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Atlas doesn't make sense to me. I get strength, but Atlas isn't an abstract idea like that. They would have been better changing to Force or Brutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may just be "marketing speak", but in the video they reference the use of the term "club" as implying equal standing among all members and the equity that club members share. One of the most unique financial aspects of the league is that the players have actual ownership equity in the league, so that lines up. Also, calling them clubs may also help them identify more with kids/parents who play travel lacrosse for "club" teams...maybe? While I don't necessarily love all of the team names, it's hard to find fault with the logos from a design standpoint...they are very well executed Lastly, the way the rosters will be composed is very intriguing. Theoretically (rosters haven't been announced yet, but Paul Rabil mentioned this in an article on Sports Illustrated) the Archers will feature sharp shooters, the Whipsnakes will feature smaller fast players, the Redwoods will be the grizzled veterans, Atlas will be the big, strong players, etc. Lacrosse is somewhat unique in that a multitude of body styles can succeed...a guy like Joey Sankey can be one of the best in the world at 5'5", because he's one of the quickest players in the world, and can get his shot off with deadly precision in a blink of an eye. It could be interesting to see the contrasting styles and how they match up. I'm not sure how they will retain the "physical attributes" of the identity with player movement, but for as long as it lasts, it will be interesting to watch. I can certainly say that I've never seen another league even attempt to compose teams this way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkerws Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 That's reaching. I think they could have come up with a better name and the bull would make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad the soccer clubs never went with “Team Celtic” or “Team Chelsea” all those decades ago.

gosioux76 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I don't get it. Is this just like a barnstorming league? The league's site has every team on it with full rosters and its schedule is just a big list of cities that will host multiple games with multiple teams per weekend.

They are players that stepped away from MLL to start their own league. That's why MLL dropped three teams a couple weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green27 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 *Looks around nervously* I think the Whipsnakes did the Diamondbacks branding better than the Diamondbacks That white Chrome uniform is impressively 80's, and the Atlas uniforms are great too. The white Redwoods jersey is the only one I think misses the mark, but the league as a whole looks pretty clean and professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
