One thing I've never quite understood is why certain cities like to name their professional sports teams after either common or famous catastrophes that occur in that area. Here are some notable examples below:
Carolina Hurricanes - A destructive force that threatens lives along the Carolina coast line every single year.
Miami Huricanes - not a professional sports team, but I seriously doubt the residents of Miami were particularly thrilled to be rooting for a team called THE FUCKING HURRICANE after Andrew caused over $25 billion in damage and killed 40 people in 1992.
Colorado Avalanche - You don't hear about these on the news too often unless you live in the area, but nonetheless, being buried under 100ft of snow in the Rocky Mountains is certainly something to be proud of your area's natural ability to do, right?
Chicago Fire - I mean, if I even have to explain this one, try looking up how Chicago got it's nickname "The Second City".
So you get the idea. But could you imagine a city like New Orleans getting a new sports team and calling it the "New Orleans Hurricanes"? Certainly it would piss a lot of people off, but why don't these other two teams that carry the same name? Is it because those teams were named before the fact or because Katrina in particular just caused one too many deaths that is acceptable for glorifying it with a sports team? What if Fukushima, Japan got a new baseball team and decided to call it the "Fukushima Tsunamis"? TOO SOON?
But forget natural disasters, why do these blood-lusting franchise owners even stop there? If "death and destruction" is the theme you want your team to carry, why not stop beating around the bush with mother nature and go all the way? Is there really a line in the sand, or are these owners just not nearly as tough as they like to think they are?
So fuck it, I went ahead and designed some logos that these pussy owners should be using.
Fuck the Tigers and Lions and whatever a "red wing" is... nobody in Detroit is getting mauled to death by Tigers and Lions. Not as far as I know anyways. But one thing Detroit is certainly known for is innocent bystanders.
As mentioned before, the Colorado Avalanche try to sound dangerous, but as we all know, nothing in Colorado is more dangerous than armed men in trench coats.
Dallas is know for two things.... football and Lee Harvey Oswald. Why not just drop this stereotyping "Cowboys" nonsense and be a little more honest about our city? Of course, can't forget the star because without a star, it's just not a Dallas team.
Maybe this one went a little too far, but don't pretend you didn't see it coming. They have the JETS, so what the fuck, right?
Post your ideas for more sports teams. Bad logos included are a plus.
