kc51design Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ks-e...o&type=lgnsbased on this article what do you think 6 teams would be, what would be the nicknames and uniforms.For the cities I would pick Milano, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, Madrid and Athens. England is not big on basketball so that excludes London. Those 6 cities are from 5 countries in Europe that have bigest basketball following and are big market teams. As for the nickanmes:Madrid Bears (city coat of arms, as Bulls are already taken to simbolise Spain, but could go with Toros)Barcelona Donkeys (the Catalan answer on Spanish Bull is Donkey)Athens Spartans (that would be oxymmoron, as spartans fought against Athenians) or TrojansBerlin (they also have Bear in city coat of arms)Paris TowersMilano ???? lockerroom51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chestnutz Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Why two teams in Spain? Will they have English names?I say Madrid Toros, and then Berlin Bears. erikas | go birds | dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremyb Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I always thought if you moved the NBADL to Europe it would be very succesful and help develop a lot more European talent. Also I think it would be a could idea to put a team in one of the slavic countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I think it would be a could idea to put a team in one of the slavic countries.That's a good idea.That would easily solve all the scheduling problems that would arise, and also bring the NBADL's value way up, as that league seems to have a hard time.

kc51design Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 Conrad, those are brilliant logos, I love them. And the idea of NBADL in Europe would be great, I can see that happening much quicker then NBA getting a European expansion. Although who would watch NBADL league when Euroleague would be better in quality than that league. lockerroom51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the NBA ever did adopt a league in Europe, boy I'd send those logos right to the front office and see what they'd have to offer. Can't wait to see if the NBA Euro league really unravels.

koizim Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I WOULD GO WITH THE PARIS HILTONSBUT THEY WOULD PROBABLY SUCK[style nazi] The way that you type is an interesting (read ridiculous) combination of the look of garygorilla's posts and Angel 1680's use of ALL CAPS and lack of punctuation. I would suggest that you try to type like a normal person. [/style nazi]Now, onto the actual point of this thread: kc51, are you asking us to create the jerseys and logos? Or are you just stating this idea for fun? Either way, there's not a whole lot of concept going on.

ShinyHubCaps Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I like AAO's ideas except for the Paris Reign. I could definitely see the Munich Warhawks. So some of those are great, and you'd be well compensated if the NBA did go in that direction.As for kc51's team ideas, I'm not a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just found an article about NBA Europe and tought some guys who put concepts just for fun could give it a go for some concepts that might have some future. If I had time on my hands I would submit few of my own. If you think it's wrong topic or anything just close the topic. lockerroom51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandelroy Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 AAO, those logos are awesome. I'd love to see some more.Maybe a city like Prague would get a team if the NBA expands.. maybe not, I just like Prague as a city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantleisthebest7 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Well, I read earlier that someone suggested or poseted Berlin Bears. As far as I know, I believe Berlin's pro hockey team is either the Bears or a kind of Bear. So I dont think that Bears would work. I do think that the logos posted here are professional, A+++ work. But the uniforms say that theyve got a little too much on. Maybe simplifiy the uniforms just a bit and you have a perfect concept.

Dave Ship Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I don't think we need the hundredth colonization from the States. Our basketball is very good already and some of our top teams can compete with most of the NBA franchises. A lot of European players, in the last few years, can prove that our basketaball has develop at a very good point. But if it's a matter of money, that's another count.

VitaminD Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I always thought if you moved the NBADL to Europe it would be very succesful and help develop a lot more European talent. Also I think it would be a could idea to put a team in one of the slavic countries.How much more European talent needs developing? And is the NBA really the means by which to develop it?The NBA gets more and more world-class talent from Europe (Asia and South America as well, in smaller numbers) with every passing year. Eurobasket is a top-flight league, and the club teams that comprise it all do better jobs cultivating youth talent than the American system of coddling AAU "elite" squads made up of individually brilliant athletes who fail to grasp the concept of a team game, pause for a year of NCAA ball to get their faces on SportsCenter and build more self-serving hype, then flame out in the Association? And I haven't even mentioned the talent being stockpiled and developed on the European national teams, where guys play together throughout the year for years at a time.The rest of the world caught up to us by doing it a different way, a better way. Letting the NBA set up shop in Europe wouldn't help European basketball. Not even a little bit. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandelroy Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 AAO, I was looking at your concepts for Europe and it says # of 6... but I only count 5.Did you have another city/team name worked out or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
