jhans203 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 So apparently Arena Football is taking steps closer to becoming ABA 2000? WTF?Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgiff17 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 $$$ talks at least AFL doesn't try to hide it they embrace it. Now if they go with the bieber beavers then I think they need to throw in the towel but KISS...they've given all of us the best for years they can do whatever they want!

LAWeaver Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Jon Bon Jovi owned the Soul until 2010. Now it's partially owned by Ron 'Jaws' Jaworski. I guess anyone can own an Arena Football team. Now, excuse me while I go prepare my Southeastern Ohio River Rats for their opener against the Rattlers... @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WideRight Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 A. It is amazing KISS still thinks they are relevant. Might as well be the L.A. Steely Dan.B. Amazing as well how desperate the AFL is to get owners. That is an embarrassing brand for them to sell. (Not that the NY CityHawks or New Jersey RedDogs were stellar brands either.)C. I pity the poor announcers for those games. D. This is especially sad because the L.A. Avengers was such a cool name. (Especially in Spanish when it basically translated into "the Avenging Angels").

Brian in Boston Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 According to the article, this team would more accurately be dubbed the LA KISS of Anaheim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DustDevil61 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 $$$ talks at least AFL doesn't try to hide it they embrace it. Now if they go with the bieber beavers then I think they need to throw in the towel but KISS...they've given all of us the best for years they can do whatever they want!I agree, strangely enough, on the embracing part. Blatant corporate team names are such an Arena League thing (Miami Hooters, New Jersey Red Dawgs).* Since this is an expansion AFL team, why not? They may end up being renamed the Avengers in a couple years anyways.^ That said, the logo is awful and LA Avengers was a much better name.*New Jersey's name really wasn't a bad identity IMO.^Of course, one of my biggest pet peeves is when an existing team is bought and rebranded to match an ownership's/corporation's pet color scheme in spite of the team's history (Astros, Padres, Chargers, etc.).

B-Rich Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I remember back in the 1970s, my suburban public school system was bursting at the seams due to the diuble whammy of oil-boom era influx of population and the tail end of baby boomers. A new junior high (J.D. Meisler) was set to open in 1977 to handle the overcrowding. With redistricting being discussed, a lot of us that lived north of I-10 thought we would be going there, so my buddy Mike O'Rourke and I began developing names and logos for Meisler (we heard rumors they were going to be called the Penguins!). One name and logo that he and I developed (half-jokingly) was the Meisler KISS. Silver KISS logo on a black football helmet, silver and black color scheme. Of course, we were only 12 then... whats the AFL's excuse? Arena Football as a sport has always been a joke; now the AFL as a league has become a complete joke in the last few years, especially after the NFL pulled out and the league spent a year or so in hiatus.... (and I am a big KISS fan, too, btw) It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 The LFL rejected this idea, so Gene's gotta slum it in the Arena League.

burgundy Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I feel like this was supposed to be animated, with "KISS" being a reflection of flames of some sort, and then the "LA" drops down with a metallic clank. Then it explodes as the opening riff of Love Gun is played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26_Mirage Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Back in the '70s there was the 'KISS Army'. Even that would have sounded better.I was a huge KISS fan back in the day...but LA KISS just sounds stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
