Viper Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 This image has been floating around, but it's unknown if this is what the third jersey will actually look like:I never cared for the Bandits' logo myself (an orange cowboy hat and gloves?), but the "close-up" look on that jersey looks sweet.BTW the Swarm wore camo-style alts (à la the Knighthawks last year) for their "Heroes Night" this past Saturday honoring Minnesota police, firemen, Armed Forces members and EMTs. Not quite as ugly as I and others had feared, but not exactly an original concept either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see that.I'm thinking i'm actually gonna drive down to Buffalo for that. I've been wanting to go to a Bandits game for some time now and no better time than against my Rock/3rd jersey unveiling.

Sodboy13 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 It's goofy, sublimated stuff, but hey, that's what the NLL is all about. And it sure beats the living hell out of the Bandits' black jersey.

And it sure beats the living hell out of the Bandits' black jersey.As far as NLL logos goes, the Bandits are the best... Philadelphia Wings come in a close second.I remember the MILL-league from the early 90s when all the "logos" were really just logotypes...Anyone else remember the Detroit Turbos, Pittsburgh Bulls, Boston Blazers, and NY Saints?Somewhere in my closet I have a glossy game programme from the Bandits inaugural/championship season...While I'm on the topic, why don't they have more NLL teams in the northeast or Canada? Seems like it could be a draw in Baltimore or London, Ontario, or even Thunder Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEAD! Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Why hasn't this league folded? I mean its a sweet league but in this EC (economic crisis) why is this league still around?Because Gary Bettman is not involved? I saw, I came, I left.

Jer15 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Viper....the pics aren't loading for me! SG30. I'm just working on switching shifts at work so that I can. Buffalo has never let me down, I've yet to see an NLL game there, but my NHL and NFL experiences have been good ones!

sigma716 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Why hasn't this league folded? I mean its a sweet league but in this EC (economic crisis) why is this league still around?Are you insinuating that this league does not make money? Cause it does. Not only that, but it is everything that hockey will never be with Bettman at the helm.The Bandits regularly come close to selling out an 18 thousand seat arena. I dont know about other teams, but they have a huge cult following here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean its a sweet league but in this EC (economic crisis) why is this league still around?Maybe in Denver fans don't come out, but in Buffalo they sell out damn near every game--- that's 18,690 tickets!!!As far as I know, Buffalo, Philadelphia and Toronto have always had great fan support....

Buffalo Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Unfortunately, Chicago (the closest team to me) "suspended operations" because of the economy...They said for the 2009 season, but gave no hint as to whether they'd try coming back for 2010 (I hope they do though)Chicago's team played waaaaay out in Hoffman Estates (super far northwest suburbs everybody) when they should be playing at Allstate Arena or somewhere closer to the north shore suburbs where lacrosse is growing.For this same reason, Chicago's MLL team, which plays in the south west suburbs, drew maybe 20 fans to its games last year.These lacrosse leagues need to spend less time thinking about which big DMA (demographic market area) to infiltrate, and spend more time thinking about where teams would draw fans.Chicago can totally support lacrosse, if they were to play at Northwestern University's complex or some other park near the rich white kids not the trashy white kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG30 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I think that the reason the league is doing alright is because its cheap to go to games and the product isn't half bad either. Tickets cost right around $20 give or take a few bucks for the Bandits. Lacrosse tends to be an exciting game, and the crowd, at least in Buffalo, is always very exciting.

Lacrosse tends to be an exciting game, and the crowd, at least in Buffalo, is always very exciting.And perhaps most importantly of all, NLL team expenses are a fraction of those of teams in other leagues, mainly because their players (who still work "real" jobs during the week) only earn five-figure salaries from playing in this league.
