Viper Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 The fledgling Midwest Indoor Lacrosse Association just announced a new expansion team in Lincoln, Nebraska that features what may be the most bizarre team nickname/logo combo in all of North American sports at any level.From the league Web site:Nebraska will be entering a team into the MILA as the Fighting Perkins, playing their home games in Eastern Nebraska. Edwin Perkins, inventor of the delicious beverage mixture Kool-Aid, concocted the powder drink in Hastings, NE in 1927, and was the inspiration behind the design of the team name and logo.Ready or not...

zpqmaowl Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Someone drank the Kool-Aid? the worst helmets design to me is the Jacksonville jaguars hamlets from 1995 to 2012 because you can't see the logo vary wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aci Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 When I first saw the logo, I actually thought it said 'Merkins'. That's about the only way that identity could have been more whacked-out, I think...

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

HarperK Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 This is a ripoff on 2 levels. The first is obvious, even tho it seems like more of a tribute.The second is that it is actually art that was done for Teefury. Its one of those t-shirt a day sites...I know this cause I actually bought this one. It was supposed to be a mishmash of Kool-Aid guy and the Hulk.Here is the original: ʎɐqǝ uo pɹɐoqʎǝʞ ɐ ʎnq ı ǝɯıʇ ʇsɐן ǝɥʇ sı sıɥʇ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 The Detroit Coney Dogs:Supposedly, coney dogs actually originated in Detroit, though Coney Island is where they became famous. Still, naming a team after any food or beverage is enough to put them on the "most whacked-out identity" short list. (See also the Omaha Beef.)

tBBP Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Still not as funny as naming a football team the "Beef"--especially considering that word's also often used to describe linemen, which just makes it even funnier. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
