McCall Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Still don't understand how Sharks pertain to San Antonio, a city not even on a coast.SeaWorld San Antonio is the world's largest marine-life theme park and is a member of both the Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks and Aquariums and the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (formerly the American Zoo and Aquarium Association) Yes, cuz when I think of San Antonio, Texas, the Marine-Life Park where ORCA WHALES are the primary atraction is the first thing that comes to mind.Makes perfect sense to name them the Sharks.Have you ever been to San Antonio, Corpus Christie (the ocean) is 2 hrs away. That's less than commute time in some major cities.Look dude, comment on the relevant (the logo), damn the name. Everything is not for You to understand. So drink your scope, and make your critiques relevant, if not then just keep me out of your conversation. But this is San Antonio, not Corpus. 2 hours away is not really close proximity. Why name a team after something from an entirely different market? And the Jazz, and Grizzlies at that, were relocated teams. You're starting a team from scratch where you can name it after something relevent to the area in which the team is from. Instead, you chose a generic name that really does not fit with the city at all. And I know my team is the Pharaohs, which were in Egypt, not Memphis, TN, but I went with the Memphis, TN-Memphis, Egypt connection, which the city obviously plays off of sometimes, with the Pyramid and all. It's kind of hard to do that with San Antonio, but you get the idea. Â Â https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of hard to do that with San Antonio, but you get the idea.I can kind of see his argument. It's not THAT far away. I am currently two hours west of Boston and although it would be odd for locals/people that know the area to have a team called "Lobsters" or "Harbormen" or something like that, people from outside the area probably wouldn't give it a second thought considering it's Massachusetts. Same with Texas. People know it borders the Ocean so they'd just say it's near an Ocean where there are probably Sharks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of hard to do that with San Antonio, but you get the idea.Grizzlies were synonymous with Memphis, (WFL the Memphis Southmen AKA Memphis Grizzlies back in the 60s or when ever Larry Csonka played there)So my bottom-line is this. The ocean is close enough, for ME to designate them the sharks. Just as you thought it was appropriate to put a St. Louis affiliated team in Memphis, (in my opinion, BAD MOVE.) So you did something everyone didn't approve of, and so did I. Relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Zephyr III Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 And as a San Antonian, the Sea World reference was actually quite clever on your part. I had never thought of that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 THE OFFICIAL LOGO: SAN ANTONIO SHARKS The eye is much improved, but the shading still irks me. I just don't understand why it is where it is on the fins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcameronh Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Anyone else done? It would be nice to get this going again before eveyone forgets about it. With what has been done so far, I'm excited to see the rest and see who wins the vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJack Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Ok, enough is enough. This thread needs to end. I say that we get this stickied, have everyone who has finished a concept submit it to fisheatcats, and give a two week deadline for anyone else who wants to put together a concept - any team that hasn't been finished yet is free game for anyone to do. If we don't end up with every team complete then tough testicles.Then we vote if people still want to.There is too much great work in this thread by too many people for it too just fade off into obscurity, but that is exactly what it will do if no one sets a firm deadline. I would love to at least see all the concepts posted with links on the first page so people can access them easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
