agentrygraphics Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 wow...Arkansas Impact...hello MSPaint!The Defenders logo looks inspired (pose and position of the shield) by the Austin af2 team's logo...their name slips my recollection at the moment.

BallWonk Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Hardly a challenger to the ABA. Most of the logos are perfectly acceptable for a minor league and a majority of the teams have plural names. Yeah, the Arkansas Impact logo is no great shakes, but it's not ABA bad. It's pre-1990s NBA bad. So the ABA still reigns supreme as the lord of the ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Interesting. I thought Rochester was one of the few ABA teams that actually drew.

powersurge Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Can congress initiate a law banning the use of the word 'Dawg' in a team name and logo? Haven't we moved passed that moniker? Everytime I see and or hear that word I think of either a totally uncultured overly white sounding white guy or Randy Jackson (not much of a difference in my book)Lets end this insanity now.

amare32 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Can congress initiate a law banning the use of the word 'Dawg' in a team name and logo?Seriously. There's got to be some rulebook for minor leagues that requires at least one team named "Dawgs." Also, at least 1/2 the teams in the league must have some sort of non-sensical compound name -- River Hawks, Sea Dawgs, Nighthawks, etc.On the the upside, the Fury logo is pretty decent, in a PHX/MIA derivative way. If you watch the league's homepage long enough, you'll see a pic of Gheorghe Muresan herding a flock of gradeskoolers. Good fun.jdub -- yes, there's a big Mexican immigrant population in CHI. And the UW Huskies still suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than the ABA by far. But I will agree with Eric though, the Fury looks like the Suns and Heat had a child Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powersurge Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Chicago Aztecas? Is there some large Native American/Hisapanic population in Chicago I wasn't aware of?Maybe I need to do a little more research, but I thought that futebol and beisbol were more popular within the hispanic community than basketball....waaaaaaay more popular. It seems a bit weird to me that the team is trying to capitalize on that specific market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Chicago Aztecas? Is there some large Native American/Hisapanic population in Chicago I wasn't aware of?The Aztecas are playing in the near-western suburb of Cicero, which has become predominantly Hispanic over the past couple of decades. So the name fits well. But I doubt they'll draw anyway.

Brian in Boston Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Chicago Aztecas? Is there some large Native American/Hisapanic population in Chicago I wasn't aware of?I believe that the 2000 U.S. Census pegged Chicago's Hispanic/Latino population as comprising more than a quarter (something like 26 or 27%, if I remember correctly) of the city's total population, with most of those respondents identifying themselves as being of Mexican descent. In fact, Chicago's substantial Mexican-American population was the reason that Jose Vergara considered the city as a potential host when he was selecting a home market for Major League Soccer's Club Deportivo Chivas USA.
