hockeyzealot Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Today's Portland Press Herald features an article about Portland Maine's new NBDL franchise that will begin playing next season. No logo's have been announced yet but based on the names up for consideration I'm not particularly enthusiastic.The seven names being voted on are:The Maine BeaconsThe Maine CrushersThe Maine ClawsThe Maine DestroyersThe Maine Red ClawsThe Maine SwarmThe Maine TrapsOf the list only Beacons isn't totally laughable (IMHO), although having a nice logo of Admiral Akbar for the Maine Traps would be pretty hilarious.

logoman Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I think they should be the Maine Squeeze. And it's Admiral Ackbar, not General. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDR Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Other: Maine VeinsBut, out of those 7, yeah, probably Beacons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burmy Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Why are none of these options the "Portland" _______? It's not like anybody will ever confuse them for the Blazers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharos04 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Why are none of these options the "Portland" _______? It's not like anybody will ever confuse them for the Blazers!Probably because they want to incorporate the entire state behind the team and not localize it to just Portland. Surprisingly, people within Augusta Bangor and Bar Harbor are more loyal to their home town teams than anything else up there. - On a side note this is being discussed in another topichttp://boards.sportslogos.net/index.php?showtopic=65270 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burmy Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Maine Red Claws?I'm sorry, but that's a NO. You do NOT want your team associated with an international terrorist: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moviemaker92 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I really surprised at these names. I mean, an affiliation with the Celtics is all but done (They just have to wait a few weeks for the current season to end), and none of these are related to the Celtics. I was under the impression that the team has preety much come out and said the colors will be green and white, so it will be interesting to see how it works out. I don't know how long this team is going to last because their prices are way out of the usual price range for Portland teams (no more than $15 for the best seats) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
