Brian in Boston Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Well, Joe Newman's fantasy continues: the ABA is now at 21 teams for next season and counting. The Jacksonville Wave has been announced as the 14th expansion team.http://www.jaxwave.comBrian in Boston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ez Street Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 this would be ABA franchise #2 for J-Ville. When the ABA came back they had J-Ville as a team, the Jacksonville Jackals i believe. @DavidStreeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paynomind Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Wow.. i've never seen more rasterized looking text and logos in a flash window in my life. I expected it to play like an Atari 2600 game when it first loaded.Is there an ABA regulation that that stupid ugly ball has to be the single largest feature of EVERY team's logo?

hrivnak Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 I actually like that logo. The first ABA one I've found to be halfway decent. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 well it's not the WORST logo. The difference between the worst and best logo in the ABA is not much.... with the average logo being around the 'extremely bad' zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Red Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 I can see how it looks to have been drawn by a 9 year old. In fact, I've seen 9 year olds who could draw better than that. It looks like the 9 year old was working close with his 6 year old friend who thought up what the logo should look like.And I agree that it's retarded how they all use the ABA ball as the focal point of their designs. I always wanted the NBA to use that ball... but upon further review... I don't if that means every team is gonna use it in their logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 9 year old isn't going to draw fingernails on a hand? That's just about the only real detail I see. The rest is just squiggly lines. made to represent water. Water... what a difficult thing to draw! And 'wanted' is past tense. It could mean when I was 5, it could mean when i was 7, it could mean any time. I wanted them to use that stupid ball because it's unique and i was a dumb little kid. If I had the choice between brown and multi-colored ANYTHING... i wouldn't hesitate to take the latter.

KCScout76 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 The logo has that "Abyss-the movie" feel to it. I like the concept of the water hand on the ball. The word mark is horrible - Well, the ABA needs to evolve or else people won't identify with the teams.Any way, since I'm a teacher, I'll give the new logo a grade of a C+. It would only be a B or B+ if it had a better word mark.  Kansas City Scouts (CHL) Orr Cup Champions 2010, 2019, 2021     St. Joseph Pony Express (ULL)  2023 Champions   Kansas City Cattle (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on.Shoddy merketing, shoddy logos, shady owners, and Master P. Sounds like WCW all over again. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosioux76 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 well it's not the WORST logo. It's not pretty, but you're right -- it's not the worse in the ABA. Which isn't saying much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
