Mac the Knife Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Oh, God. What a :censored:ty name. Plus a logo that reminds one of the Orlando Predators. Sheesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosioux76 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Oh, God. What a :censored:ty name. Plus a logo that reminds one of the Orlando Predators. Sheesh.I was thinking the same thing. It's just a repurposed Orlando Predators ligature, which might not be that big of a deal if the Predators weren't still in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac the Knife Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Also in looking at their ticket prices, I suspect they aren't going to do terribly well. There's not a lower deck seat that's less than $90, and there's no way in hell people in that area are going to pay that much on a regular basis for the AFL.

Lights Out Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Looks like they tried to mix the Steelers and the Chargers in their logo and failed miserably. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oso Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Generic nickname... Lousy logo.. Overpriced tickets..This team will fly here for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Front row sideline seats, Pittsburgh: $180.Front row sideline seats, Chicago: $60.Wow, good luck selling that. Has someone not informed Pittsburgh ownership about that little downward recalibration the AFL's had since the end of the '08 season with regard to, you know, everything?

epper Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 That fist in the logo looks like it was done with Illustrator's LiveTrace. Awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharos04 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 is it a bad sign when the football that they're using on the main website is for the old AF2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmd9 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Pittsburgh's know for the bandwagon fans, so if this team isn't playoff caliber within 5 years it will fold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only teams that have been around for 15+ years are the Tampa Bay Storm, Orlando Predators and Arizona Rattlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9erssteve Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Oh jeebus that logo sucks! I've been working on a thread in the concepts forum to try and fix up some of the grimmest identities the AFL has to offer I'm only a few teams into the current batch and they go drop this one into the mix! Looks like I'll never get to the end of my AFL project at this rate! lolAs to prices those are NUTS! Do they think they're an NFL franchise or something? No danger they last past year two with prices like that unless they go undefeated and they make bandwagons big in Pittsburgh!9erssteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elsephen Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 They're hoping they'll sell tickets due to being the only pro football team that'll be playing there in 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
