"Dallas Vigilantes" AF1 Team Announces Logo


Ben Schwartz

Recommended Posts

This team is a "rebirth" of the Dallas Desperados. From what I have heard, they didn't use the Desperados logo because it included the Cowboys star, and Jerry Jones wasn't going to allow it because he wasn't part of the new ownership group. Still, the name Vigilantes is trash and I don't think the logo is very good either. Doesn't look like a sports logo to me. It looks like the logo for a restaurant that would serve burned chicken tenders.

This is the splash thing from their site which went up today:

Absolutely horrible. If you going to try to make money off of a league it needs to look professional. The league logo looks like it was made in paint and the name AF1 sounds bad too

still it's a cool sport and wish Minneapolis had a team!!!

Lame - weak - blow chunks - terrible - (you fill in the blank)

What a waste of money on this logo!! If your the artist, I send my condolences if that's your best.

If there is a Texas-based team logo design trope we have not hit with this logo, I'd like to know what it is. :rolleyes:

evidently ol' Jerry still owns the Despos name too, or they wouldn't have bothered to scrounge up a new name. Vigilantes can work as a name, but that logo...eh, at least the Chicago Rush are still gonna be the Rush.

i really like the team name and team colors... and the logo sucks, but isn't much worse than the old despos logo, so i'm not going to complain too much.

black with bright blue and red looks sorta cool to me. has a very "ghoultown" look to it.

Okay, let's count the number of things that can be 'frowned upon' with this logo....

1. A Gun.

2. Another gun.

3. A human skull.

4. A bullet hole in it's head.

5. The Texas state flag.

Are you hinting that this is not actually "family friendly"?

Man, that's just NIFL-worthy. Or roller derby, where they intentionally try to walk the good taste tightrope.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

yeah... bullet hole in the skull of a logo for a downtown dallas sports team does seem a little controversial now that i think about it. lol.

You sure this not the name and logo of some motorcycle gang?

Actually, I think it looks like what would be on the back on a suburban dad MC. The type of weekend warrior who would actually buy one of those WWI spike helmets. The kind of SOBs that speed down my street every Saturday thinking they're the Sons of Anarchy.

A lot of money to spend and no taste to limit the damage.

BTW- the bandanna looks a lot like a popped polo collar
