Ez Street Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 From Kansascity.comKC?s arena football team will be called the BrigadeHere comes the charge of the Kansas City Brigade.Officials for Kansas City?s entry in the Arena Football League have called a news conference for this afternoon at Kemper Arena and will announce Brigade as the franchise?s nickname and unveil the club?s logo and colors of blue, silver and black.The Kansas City franchise, which is an expansion club in the 18-team league, conducted a name-the-team contest, and Brigade was selected among thousands submitted. The winner of the contest is expected to be identified today.The other final candidates for the nickname were Bombers, Cyclones, Thunder and Strike.The club will open the season with road games Jan. 29 at Dallas and Feb. 3 at Orlando before playing its home opener Sunday, Feb. 12, against Austin at Kemper Arena, where the team plans to play for two seasons before moving into the Sprint Center in 2008.The club?s eight regular-season games include five Sunday dates, two Saturday nights and one Monday night, March 13, against Philadelphia, which is owned, in part, by entertainer Jon Bon Jovi and former NFL quarterback Ron Jaworksi.The Kansas City club originally was stocked with 15 players from the New Orleans Voodoo, which will not operate this season because of hurricane damage to its arena.Since then, the club has filled out its roster with free agents.The Brigade, coached by former Chiefs safety Kevin Porter, will be led by quarterback Andy Kelly, who threw a league-high 96 touchdowns last season and ranks second in league history with 717 career touchdown passesJaworski, who finished his NFL career with the Chiefs, believes the arena league will succeed in Kansas City.?With the way the people in Kansas City embrace football, I know it will be a huge success,?

NJMojorising Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I know I cant make logos on here because i never learned how or how to make a cool sign like everyone else but I was thinking maybe the logo is similar to the Columbus Blue Jackets...aka Civil War era Bridage. But that is just what I think so who knows it is a great mysteryP.S. IF someone is willing to teach me how to make logos or a cool sign i am all ears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite provided very good instructions to me.

leopard88 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 That's the logo, no joke.Dear God, are you sure it isn't already April 1st? That is horrible. Who thinks of the stealth bomber when they hear the word "Brigade"?I was hoping for a western army circa 1880 concept. The Civil War idea that NJMojorising just posted is also good, though I think western is more suitable for KC.

Sec19Row53 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 That's the logo, no joke. EZ Street - Please, announce that you're really a woman (or robot)after all and just get this April Fool's Joke over with.Please?EDIT - From the announcement: The logo represents a stealth bomber flying overhead, symbolizing the AFL?s on-field theme: high octane, fast and powerful offense.ME: But a Stealth Bomber is QUIET and flies under the radar!!OK, they got the second half right (RE: AFL), unfortunately. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 With that logo, Kansas City Bombers would have been a far superior name. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian in Boston Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Well, that's absolutely terrible. it's nothing more than a lame knock-off of the Wichita Stealth logo.What's more, the logo has absolutely nothing to do with the team's name. Stealth bombers don't fly in brigades. In fact, to the best of my knowledge, the organizational structure of the United States Air Force doesn't include brigades. There are commands, numbered air forces, wings, groups, squadrons and flights... but no brigades.Bottom line? It's a piss-poor identity package.

rams80 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 That's the logo, no joke. If the Wichita Stealth and the Richmond Speed came back from the dead and had a kid, I think it'd look a lot like this.

djqman69 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Wow, looks like they REALLY wanted to name the team the Bombers, but someone stepped in the last minute and change the name.My only hope is that the jerseys are light blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kansascityjayhawk4 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Where did you find the logo, and know that it's certain... cuz if it is im PI$$ED! can anyone say clip art???KC Jayhawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief. Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 That's the logo, no joke. NO! Why don't people just sit down and think? Okay, we have the name, what about the logo? A stealth bomber? No. That's ridiculous. I clicked on this near the end of 4th hour and the guy behind me said, "Oh, the Wichita Stealth?" Seriously. I like the colors, but why not just make it the Bombers? I think I'm going to work on a concept for them just for fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEAD! Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 What in the world? I agree, they should have been called the bombers. But perhpas when you consider the state of affairs in the US, with terrorism and all, Bombers may not be the best name for a new team. I saw, I came, I left.

Like you said, just keep the logo consistent with the name that was chosen.I'm working on a concept right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee. Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 This is horrible. Coming from the city that the Night Train hailed from, I refuse to accept you as a judge of anything, as bad as this logo is.Just because you hate it, I will go on record as saying I love it. Even though I don't. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
