IceCap Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Weren't the Gunslingers notoriously cheap, even by USFL standards? Probably not a brand that the new league is eager to capitalize on.

Bmac Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Royal blue and kelly green is not a color combo that screams "San Antonio" or "Gunslingers" to me. I'd love to see more green used in the league, but I'd rather see this team rebranded in more fitting colors (brown would be cool) if they return.

I believe the Tampa Bay Bandits brand carries more value than the Memphis Showboats brand , but the Showboats will be the team playing next season. 2 hours ago, Bmac said: Royal blue and kelly green is not a color combo that screams "San Antonio" or "Gunslingers" to me.

And, yes, that is THE Jason Garrett. 1 1 1 Quote Most Liked Content of the Day -- February 15, 2017, August 21, 2017, August 22, 2017 ///// Proud Winner of the CCSLC Post of the Day Award -- April 8, 2008 Originator of the Upside Down Sarcasm Smilie -- November 1, 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sky1324 Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 That's a really classy alternate logo. Overall I'm a big fan of Memphis' look. Hopefully their uniforms will look as good. 6 Quote the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 That's a Bosack job, isn't it? Looks to be his signature style. If it is--and even if it ain't--dude smashed that one over the upper deck grandstands. 3 Quote *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WideRight Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Maybe it is because I am a USFL purist who fell in love with the league when I was 16 in 1983, but while the new logo is adequate, I miss the old one, and I cannot help but think that this would be a better option for them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a speed boat and a lot of the "showboats" I know own a speed boat haha But I have a question.. What other cities would a team called "Showboats" work with? Asking for a friend haha They would have to be on the Mississippi or Ohio river in order to make historic sense IMO. so like St. Louis, New Orleans, Memphis, Louisville, etc. Cincinnati might actually technically have even greater claim to it then Memphis : the last surviving actual showboat used to be docked on the Cincinnati riverfront for decades, and is moored just east of the city now.

Cruhawk7975 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 On 11/15/2022 at 3:23 PM, BengalErnst said: I do agree but what explains Detroit being used as a hub city also? Think the league is looking there because the Michigan Panthers were one of the better-supported teams in the league and Detroit seems like a good sports town. Easy logistics to pair Pittsburgh with them there too. Fox also owns their Detroit fox affiliate TV station as well via a subsidiary, plus sports betting is legal in Michigan - good for the FoxBet App, so there's some vertical integration benefits there too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team was literally playing in a horse barn two years ago, so low budget applies. And teams in Texas that start up seem to follow an unwritten rule, except for Panther City lacrosse, that you have to copy the Texas flag colors. And most people in San Antonio don't have a positive view of the USFL Gunslingers since they were so cheap that even the players weren't sure they could get paid. Doens't help that the Gunslingers had both a poor record (12-24 all time) and finished in the bottom quartile of average home attendance in either of their seasons as well.

What happened with the original USFL has no bearing on this. 1 Quote It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
