gosioux76 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Albuquerque's NBADL team will be called the Thunderbirds, local media are reporting today. The team will announce the name and logo officially this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gosioux76 Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 has potential to be either a great logo or a stupid logo. let's hope they pull this off nicely. My newspaper published a small image of the new logo, but it's not online. The best I can tell the colors are orange, navy and a little yellow.It's got an eagle-like head that looks a bit like the Atlanta Thrashers' bird head. And it's paired with a basketball being gripped by talon-like claws that looks a lot like the bear paw Grizzlies alt logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Well, today's Albuquerque Tribune did report that "the logo features a flying Thunderbird holding a basketball in its claws". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigga Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 It looks like they combined an uninspired, but halfway decent primary--the head--with an uninspired, but halfway decent secondary--ball in talon--but it just doesn't work. And that same boring arsed script font rears its ugly head yet again. Shame on the D-League!! On January 16, 2013 at 3:49 PM, NJTank said: Btw this is old hat for Notre Dame.

Brian in Boston Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Regardless of what you think of the individual logos in this league, the decision to go with the exact same font for every team's wordmark - with the exception of Arkansas - is a huge mistake. In my opinion, Florida and Roanoke both need to undergo complete makeovers - new identities, new logos and new wordmarks. Fayetteville can keep the Patriots identity, but the logo and wordmark both need to be revamped. Arkansas needs to lose the Black drop-shadow from the wordmark. Albuquerque, Fort Worth and Tulsa all need to develop new wordmarks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadragon76 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Come on, Albuquerque. You have a minor league baseball team with a great nickname and a great logo.Now, you have this bastard child of the BGSU Falcon and Baltimore's Raven. Thank god that the D-League isn't on TV, or we would get to be tortured by that stinker every time the T-Birds would play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian in Boston Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Come on, Albuquerque. You have a minor league baseball team with a great nickname and a great logo. Great name? Debatable. It gets points points for being inspired by The Simpsons, but loses points for not being as good as the old Albuquerque Dukes name. Great logo? Quite simply, no.

leggman01 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 take the ball/talon away and change the wordmark and this is solid, in my opinion - i don't have a problem, in theory, with the d-league using the same wordmark for all of the teams...provides some consistency...but i have a problem with the wordmark they've chosen - it just doesn't work with most of the logo's - it's kind of bulbous and balloon-like and it doesn't fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
