Brian in Boston Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Tony Priscaro, CEO of the Charlotte expansion team, has made the following announcement:"The name of the team is the Carolina Thunder; a blockbuster "NASCAR" type logo will be released this week and it will do the people of North Carolina proud."Well, Tony... if the logos unveiled by most of your fellow 2004 expansion clubs is any indication of your team's logo efforts, how exactly do you think the people of North Carolina define "proud"?"NASCAR" type logo? We can all hope, but why do I feel a coming on?Brian in Boston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiasco! Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 "The name of the team is the Carolina Thunder; a blockbuster "NASCAR" type logo will be released this week and it will do the people of North Carolina proud." then it should be the "North Carolina Thunder".....as a South Carolinian, i don't want anything to do with the plopty fluffing ABA, nor do i want them representing my area!

winters in buffalo Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Call it Charlotte! Damn, even if that crap is in my state, they can at least have the decency to isolate it to the other end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paynomind Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I think we should try to make concepts to predict what this will look like. I hate to have a bad attitude about every new logo, but geez we have been on a bad roll recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagan696 Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 PNM, didja predict this??from abalive.com"The area's newest professional basketball team finally has a name, and it's not the Bobcats.The American Basketball Association's Charlotte-area franchise will be called the Carolina Thunder and will feature a racing car in its logo, league co-founder Joe Newman said Friday. An official announcement is due Monday (May 3rd).The team is negotiating to play in the Cabarrus Arena and Events Center in Concord; its season starts in November.Newman said the league is not related to the former American Basketball Association, although a founder of the old league also is involved in the current one."and the others: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paynomind Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 So its not really a -"NASCAR" type logo- it is a NASCAR AS a logo?Good god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yh Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 As a NASCAR fan, I am embarrassed that a stock car is going to be affiliated with this league - it's an insult to stock car racing. The only good news to come out of this ridiculous mass-expansion effort is that it will likely bankrupt the league thus doing away with all of these ridiculous names and logos.

"Give me $20 and a dream, and you've got yourself a franchise in the ABA."This league is like a trainwreck...you know you shouldn't slow down and see what's going on, but it's so out there you can't NOT look...

pflava Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 I love how the guy in the Motown JAMMERS logo looks like he's taking a jump shot.And Gwinnett Gwizzlies may be the dumbest thing ever. Just embarrasing, awful. On a side note, I lived in Gwinnett county when I was a kid. The place was literally crawling with Gwizzlies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrivnak Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Pflava, if by "Gwizzlies" you mean "Soccer Moms," then yes Gwinnett is crawling with them.I'm just upset they didn't go with my Gwinnett Soccer Moms idea. The logo was a petitte woman driving an incredibly huge SUV while putting on make up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
