Gary Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Port Huron Pirates of the CIFL has moved to Flint, MI to become the Michigan Pirates. The name Michigan was to represent everyone in the Mid to Eastern Michigan cities like Flint, Saginaw, Clio, Port Huron, Lansing and even a few other cities. Now my question is will we be seeing a brand new logo from them next season, or will we see a new pirate but with Michigan. Personally I would love to see the pirate behind the state of Michigan, with an M with a sword slashing through the M as the helmet. I like the way Jordan has made the P and H with the sword going through the H as the secondary, I can only imagine what he'll do with the revamped version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMUBrent Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Their current logo is pretty sharp, IMO. I went to the last two games in Port Huron. The Pirates look like they belong in a higher league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pirates look like they belong in a higher league. agreed, I love their logo, but with them being renamed the Michigan Pirates, the beacon and waves will probably go along the name Port Huron and replaced with a just the Pirate or a sillouette of the state of Michigan. The Pirates are currently undefeated and has yet to lose a game in the GLIFL/CIFL, they are that good, or the league is just that bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedPenalty Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I think they might want to consider a name change. It's been a while since I saw a pirate sailing the water around Flint... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hockey team is the Generals, after General Motors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 easy, the I/U has a love affair with the city, just can't move along, at least Flint stays in some kind of fashion. But it wasn't much of financial situation, it was a bad lease that kicked them out of Port Huron and into the Vehicle City. Hopefully this is just a rebirth of a truly great team(trust me guys not a bandwagoner, been following team since last year, closest team to Flint in the GLCIFL, but it makes it even greater since I am a Flint native).
