AndrewPF Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I like the Phantoms logo, but I'm not sold on the wordmark. http://i.imgur.com/4ahMZxD.png koizim said: And...and ya know what we gotta do?

agentrygraphics Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 And yet another Pittsburgh basketball team that will fold in a few years...Amen Maz, just like the Piranhas did. IIRC, they were the best team in the CBA, making it to the championship series in their first year (i think they were the Lacrosse Catbirds that relocated to Pittsburgh), but had the worst attendance in the league. Yakima beat us in the finals...and it got a small two-line blurb in the Post-Gazette. Pittsburgh just isn't a basketball town.

tBBP Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 ...as a former Pittsburgher...I *love* (sarcasm) how the city continues to recycle the same names for their new sports teams.Fitting, seeing as the city just can't seem to bring itself to let go of its past. It's ok to wax nostalgic at times--the city does have a rich sports history--but at some point, the city itself has GOT to move ----> this way (forward) if it ever expects to get into the 20th century.(BTW...that last line was completely intentional.) *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cappital92 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Drew's right. The Pirates wear flannel jerseys, the Penguins play on the Ohio River, and the Steelers have won a remarkable six Super Bowls while wearing leather helmets. The Amish look like Best Buy employees compared to many of the citizens of Western Pennsylvania.(Just kidding, of course. But Pittsburgh does seem to give off a bit of a retro feel.) http://www.wizardsxtra.com Is it the shoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tBBP Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I'm glad some of y'all figured out what I was getting at.(Either that, or you realized that I had a hidden line of text at the bottom of my original post.)And um, saying Pgh is a little behind the times is like saying Oregon's uniforms are a little bit, uh, "modern". (More so in the western and southern parts, if you ask me. I should know...I lived in the South Hills. Baldwin, to be exact.) At least Eas' Lib's done made a come-up in the past year or two, surprising as that is.So...how long before we see the next edition of the Pittsburgh Condors??? (Or even the Maulers, for that matter...hammer, fist, and all...) *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopard88 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 So...how long before we see the next edition of the Pittsburgh Condors???

Oso Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 If this league itself lasts longer than 2 years, I'll by shocked. By then the Phantoms will be long gone. However, I can say the Xplosion did far better in Pittsburgh than I thought they would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
