Albuquerque Thunderbirds Become New Mexico Thunderbirds

Recommended Posts

The D-League's Albuquerque Thunderbirds are renamed the New Mexico Thunderbirds...which coincides with their move to a new arena for the 2010-2011 season.

The Orange and Yellow were both modified, along with the addition of Gray. New version:

Interesting name change... Like D-Backs and Cardinals, they chose to go for a state-wide affiliation rather than just their local city.

To explain the change a bit further, the org. just moved north of the city of Albuquerque to a better arena in the suburbs (Rio Rancho to be exact), hence the decision to go with "New Mexico." Definitely more recognizable than "Rio Rancho Thunderbirds"...

the children are the future!

I like the change, which is a drastic one from their basic sets used in part since 2006(?). BTW Colorwerx, do you have the wordmarks as appeared on the jersey of the Anaheim Arsenal, including the number fonts ? You may PM me for my e.mail addy. Thanx...
