Brick Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Eric Williams of the Toronto Raptors is selling a line of clothing called Black League Basketball, featuring logos of a league that played from 1920-1940. The thing is the league never existed. I can't put my finger on why this makes me uncomfortable.

OCE Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 LMFAO!!!!! The Chicago Southsiders in 1920 would have been playing in the Polish basketball league not the Black basketball league. Those logos look awfully modern to me,lol, did most basketball teams even have logos then? the cleveland rosenblums emblem was that of rosenblums department store!

darkshadow1031 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Is there any better pictures of the logo other than on Eric Williams' jacket? Even though the "Black League Basketball" is fictional, I am still interested in the logos. 2002-2006 ALUMNI 2007-2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chakfu Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Pretty weird...Eric Williams is cool though, he'd better watch out that he doesn't go out like Craig Hodges though...funny back in the day I didn't like Craig Hodges cause I disliked the bulls and I think he broke bird's stretch of 3 point contest titles...but now that I've heard stories about his politics I admire him greatly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
