powersurge Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Even though I'm usually against using illiteration in team names I think it fits in this case. Phantoms might have been better, or even Fury. The logo leaves nothing to be desired. UGH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemi711 Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Pretty ugly I think. But one of my good friends will be playing for them in the near future probably. He was the 1st Overall Pick in the recent USHL draft. Even though their logo is ugly, their arena is suppose to be pretty cool I hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winghaz Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I, too, don't like Fargo Force. What's the mascot going to be, Darth Vader?And I'm a little tired of illiteration for names. Sure, some of the other names that start with an F sound good, but there are much better nicknames around that would suit Fargo, the Red River Valley or North Dakota.As for it being the Fargo Force instead of the Fargo-Moorhead Force, that's something I think you'll see more of because of the rise of other towns around Fargo. West Fargo, for example, nearly has as many people as Moorhead. And Fargo is well over twice as big as both sister cities. So you'll see Fargo more in the future instead of Fargo-Moorhead ... I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I could. The market and owner aren't as big a secret as the owner would like to think, as they both have been mentioned in newspapers (outside the market in question, however)... but I still need to hold it close to my vest. I will say that the designer is someone from here, and having seen most if not all of the work he's done trying to develop something for this franchise, I hope he posts all the rejections and prototypes as an exercise in brand-building (and patience)...
