ZBoyer Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I think I'm more offended by this quote. Why aren't we, as sports fans, going after the owners for this travesty?"'No. We're excited with the nickname. We're excited for our season. This is pro basketball back in Buffalo,' said Rich Jacob, the team's general manager and head coach." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timparry Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Why doesn't the ABA just GO AWAY! Because who doesn't love an instable league with 62 teams? Other than the league owners who are bilking vagabond owners out of franchise fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac the Knife Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Wow, I feel sorry for their fans. Anyways the local ABA team here played too well, got a big head and is jumping to the CBA. If only the dude would respond to my email discussing getting a better logo. Yeah. All 3 of them must be just crestfallen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred T. Jane Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 The new name is getting criticism from local black leaders.http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20060805/1042519.aspThe critics also did not like the logo, which shows an intense, red-skinned gorilla pointing at the viewer. "I did find it offensive. It looked like an angry black man," said Eva M. Doyle, a columnist for the Buffalo Criterion newspaper. "I think it's offensive to people who are looking at it from a historical perspective." They're accepting the comparison that a primate looks like an angry black man? [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

Lumbergh Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Check out the script, it looks like something my little cousin did. It's just a plain typeface with outlines around it, and I can't figure out why there are a few white blotches in some parts. Not even patsox leaves that much white crap on his stuff.

Original6 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 The ABA is such a joke. Why are they still trying to live off of a name that people in this generation quite frankly cannot relate to? In the 80s.... maybe... in 2006... FUGETTABOUTIT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
random Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 The controversy surrounding this logo is hillarious. The only thing offensive about this is its probably the worst logo since the ABA man sodomizing the bull. Whoever sees "Gorilla" and autmatically thinks "angry black man" is clearly a racist themself. It looks more like a kid from 1995 drawing donkey kong playing basketball.Man, when will the ABA die for all the terrible logos they have forced upon humanity.
