Burmy Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Had heard somewhere that the PLL's operator had said that they could become a city-based league in the near future...if that's the case, which cities would you put their teams in? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some cities draw better than others. Things like major youth lacrosse tournaments in the area have been said to effect attendance. In addition to that, they're still dealing with COVID restrictions in some states. The games are at separate times. This season with 8 teams they've decided to have 5 games per weekend. A Friday night game, 2 games on Saturday & 2 games on Sunday. The Sunday games feature the 2 teams from Friday night's game against different opponents. For example this past weekend, the Friday night game was the Whipsnakes vs Atlas. On Sunday (today) the Whipsnakes played Chrome, while Atlas played the Cannons The Premier Lacrosse League has a broadcasting deal with NBC Sports. Their games air on NBC and NBC Sports Network, and streamed on Peacock. Like someone else already mentioned, recently one of the league execs has publicly stated that the league will transition to a traditional city based model at some point. With Lacrosse being primarily popular in the northeast states and the Denver area, the PLL adopted a tour based model as a way to bring high level lacrosse to others parts of the country as well. 2 Quote Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Kraft recently became an investor in the league, so one could easily assume that whenever the PLL is ready to switch o the city based model that the Cannons will wind up back in Boston.

Imagine Dallas Atlas, Las Vegas Chaos or Miami Chrome in areas that aren't Lacrosse areas. 1 Quote Logano wins BOWL before Chargers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannons have high brand equity in the Boston area, but could go either New England or Boston Cannons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me4afl Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Some interesting developments are happening with the Albany FireWolves and trademarks. So the logo they revealed back in April has now been abandoned and it shows up as “abandoned-express”. They recently filed another logo. I wonder who filed a claim against them to not use the original logo. Here is the link to the “new” logo. https://trademarks.justia.com/907/87/albany-firewolves-lacrosse-90787383.html Here is the link the the “old” logo. https://trademarks.justia.com/906/60/albany-90660847.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilbert Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I will say this is a definite upgrade over the old one. "Prompted in part by feedback from a variety of important stakeholders, we decided to redesign our logo prior to hitting the turf for our inaugural season. We are excited about our newest logo design as it brings more versatility and options to the many marketing and community relations initiatives we are planning," said George Manias, President of the FireWolves.

JayMac Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Based on that logo alone, it seems as though the colors have been changed too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash61 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 This is a very interesting case. The FireWolves posted this photo on June 24th, before the logo change was announced. The wordmark on the shirts is the new one, but all the rest of their branding from this event and online was the old stuff. It seems that this change was subtly in the works before this. 2 Quote On September 20, 2012 at 0:50 AM, 'CS85 said: It's like watching the hellish undead creakily shuffling their way out of the flames of a liposuction clinic dumpster fire.

Jer15 Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 Not bad. I kind of like that the top thin line is in the shape of the top of their logo. It's small enough of a detail that it isn't dominating the whole uniform.
