yh Posted February 10, 2004 Author Share Posted February 10, 2004 The team must play in Oakland, however if you wish to use "Golden State" or some other Bay Area moniker, that is okay. "San Francisco" would not be an acceptable alternative however. I don't think the folks in Oakland would have liked it either.Shark is correct, in that the league did originally want the team in SF but the city fathers wouldn't pony up the bucks for a new arena. Fortunately, the same situation occurred in Baltimore which was also supposed to be a "second six" city. The owner of the Chicago Blackhawks fixed that situation by finding a group of businessmen upon whom he was able to unload an unprofitable piece of real estate (the St. Louis Arena) and thus the Blues came into existence.

DartLogo Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I've already got my six nicknames. Luckily my primitive art skills lend themselves well to the late 60s-era sporting motif.I think "primative art skills" and the 60's go hand in hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Wrestling Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Should we post our entrants as we get them done, or wait until they are all complete? I am excited to post mine and see everyone elses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yh Posted February 11, 2004 Author Share Posted February 11, 2004 Should we post our entrants as we get them done, or wait until they are all complete? I am excited to post mine and see everyone elses.They should be submitted all as one package rather than one at a time. Hopefully it will keep the thread shorter. I'm as anxioius as anyone to see how this comes out but I'm willing to wait until entrants have all six offerings to put forth. Who knows, this might cause sensory overload or even seizures.Uhhhh, if the latter happens to be the case, I disclaim all liability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stampman Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Quite well done overall--especially on the colours & stripes...but two of the logos look more like mid 70's than late 60's (although I could be nitpicking)-The Waves and the Firebirds--the Firebirds looks like a WFL logo--but I like them all.

Lee. Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Not too SHaBby....my only critique is that except for the Muskies, the logos all look a little too "clean"...we'll see how this all shakes out...so far (one entrant showing) none of my names were taken...

NJTank Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 The Shark one is the best SHB it has an original Miami Dolphins vibe to it, and the bridge is a nice touch. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronChefShark Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Not too SHaBby....my only critique is that except for the Muskies, the logos all look a little too "clean"...its tough to make logos look "rough" intentionally when youre so used to making things clean. believe it or not I did freehand the muskies logo (well, except the map behind it) and also the bulldogs logo.

Stampman Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Well here they are--Oakland Zephyrs & LA StarsMinnesota WalleyesSt Louis CloudbustersPhiladelphia IndependantsPittsburgh PiratesReasons for team names--I went by what associations I have of those cities--although it's all second hand, I've never been to any of them--and also surfing the net for references.Oakland--The Zephyr is a train that as far as I can tell use dto go to & from Oakland--and did so in the 60's. It was the type of train I redid for the logoLA--Stars-HollywoodMinnesota--the state fish is the Walleye--the logo comes up smaller than I thought--but it's a fish head in a circle.St Louis--I kept coming across references to aeronautics ad related topics---the term "Cloudbuster" kept coming up too--so I used it.Philapelphia--I kept coming back to the historical role Philadelphia played in the biirth of the USAPittsburgh--All names not in use or the ones used by the actual 1967-68 expansion teams were available--there really was a team named the Pittsburgh Pirates in the NHL--I merely updated the look, as the Ottawa Senators also did.
