I have no idea what league this team (Philadelphia Waterdogs) is in, but they're forming a "supporters club" and rolled out these jerseys:

Premier Lacrosse League (PLL). Those are the jerseys the team wore this past season. They unveiled new logos last month, so I guess the supporters club is adopting those if what you say is true 🤷🏾‍♂️

Not for nothing (but it probably is), the Roughnecks have started using red as an accent colour on their website and social media graphics this season. Since the, sponsorship related, rebrand in 2021 they had been using the teal from the turf.

 

I'm not expecting the red to come back officially any time soon but it's an improvement over using the teal, even just on principle.

Agreed...save the cerulean tones for whenever Edmonton gets a team again.

(Weren't they supposed to get one the year after the Rush moved to Saskatchewan?)

I didn't follow the league as much back then so I don't know about that. However, I don't think there's any interest in Edmonton because the Oilers essentially ran the Rush out of town. So it would be ill-fated, I would think, to have an Edmonton team that wasn't owned by the Oilers and they haven't appeared to want a lacrosse team.

What a shame...Rogers Place would be a WONDERFUL lacrosse arena.

News out of New York today that the New York Riptide (NLL) will be moving to Ottawa next season, and will be known as the Black Bears. 

 

The logo is a bear holding a lacrosse stick emerging from an O. I would post it, but I'm in phone.

Story B: Red Wings go undefeated and score 100 goals in every game. They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

I will sorely miss the Riptide brand. It was the closest we ever got to the Islanders Fisherman actually existing long term, and proved that seafoam works with navy and orange.

So the ownership isn't changing to the Senators but GE Sports & Entertainment will "maintain a strong working relationship with Senators Sports & Entertainment to help drive the team's success in the Ottawa-Gatineau market."

There seems to already be a Ottawa Black Bears team in Major League Quadball (aka Quidditch). Hmmm....🤔

I don't think anything will happen. It would be like a similar situation here in Edmonton when the Eskimos changed to Elks. There is a rugby league team here called the Elks and I don't think they've changed their name.

Jerseys for the Ottawa Black Bears:

The pattern is the striping is an Indigenous design shared by Black Bears forward Larson Sundown that depicts “figures standing together hand in hand, a motif that represents peace, friendship and unison in Indigenous culture.”

I'm a Wings STH, and I am kinda bummed that we won't have a rivalry with a team in close proximity like we had with the Riptide. But I'm glad Ottawa gets a team, and those jerseys are really solid.

I think Ottawa immediately moves to the best jersey in the league.

Thunder Bay Lynx - International Hockey Association (2 seasons, 2017-18, 2019-20, 2018 Xtreme Cup Champions)Houston Armadillos - Major League Hockey (2 seasons, 2016-18) | Minnesota Muskies - North American Basketball Association (1 season, 2017-2018) | Louisville Thoroughbreds - United League of Baseball (1 season, 2017, 2017 United Cup Champions) | Las Vegas Thunderbirds - International Basketball League (1 season, 2016-17, 2017 Champions)

Not quite uniform news yet, but seems as though Panther City will be heading to Charlotte, pending league approval

I wonder if they'll take on the Unboxed Cobras identity - I certainly wouldn't mind, and it would be far better than the PLL's Chaos.

on that we will have to disagree but in terms of the pending relocation:

Word out there is it will be cobras and that will be the logo. 

 

I don't know this for a fact but I assume it's due to the short turn around time
