The rebrand and name change thread part 3

Continue. :)

Part 1

Part 2

Other thread too long?

Easier for the powers that be that never introduce themselves to sort through all the posts if it's all broken up into seperate threads?


Or...the subject matter slid into something less than SFW. Either way. No mattering.

Part 1 went like 35 pages and part 2 went 31. I figured it would be easier for you guys to not have to weed through so many pages.

Much obliged.

Leave it to a woman. :)

Arcangels!

This is a good post. Quality. Nice job.

I'm still with Krewe. The Krewe of New Orleans. I don't get how anybody can hate this. Angels is growing on me but it's not original. Knights and Spirit are dull and absolutely terrible.

I hate Krewe because I think it's too local. It doesn't resonate with anyone outside of our city. And honestly, explaining what a Krewe is will be just as annoying as saying "We're not the Charlotte Hornets." Krewe seems so little league to me.

I challenged a couple other posters with this question who bring up the "dull name" argument (they didn't answer), but I'll ask you: what's so originally New Orleans and exciting about the name "Saints"? Remove any cultural connection with the football team. What's exciting about that name?

I know. I'm awesome.

You don't need quality when talking about crap products... which is what those two names would be.

Rabble rabble rabble.

I don't mind the new thread, but would have been nice to get a few more comments on the ESPN release before starting the new thread.

So with that in mind, the Dukes ESPN version looked pretty good.

Arcangels.....

I don't like Krewe. Why? Minor league version of Mardi Gras. A better Mardi Gras fit would be Carnival. New Orleans Carnival sounds and looks better than New Orleans Krewe.

Why not Brass? Probably same issue as Krewe. Just a minor league version of Jazz. Jazz would be the best fit.

VooDoo would be a great fit, but it's being used for now.

Unfortunately, with the best fits not available, outside of Carnival, something creative will have to be done.

The "Saints" name is grandfathered in

Brass WAS actually a minor league team. Minor League Hockey. And that is just piggybacking off Jazz. VooDoo is cool but being used. Carnival just makes me think of the Circus for some reason, although I get your point that it is a bigger concept of Mardi Gras. But Krewe has that sort of name that matches New Orleans and describes a group of people...a group of players, our team. The Krewe of New Orleans. But I also like it because of the possibility of an alternate jersey or merchandising opportunity with Crescent City Krewe just because I think that name flows so beautifully. These are just my thoughts...

I just designed a uniform for the New Orleans Phantoms. I've only finished the primary logo, so I'll show that to you guys.

not nearly as good as Dub's but I like the font and color design.

I agree, still hate that name though.

I'm actually warming up to Angels. I wish we could see bigdub's mock-up, that always seems to turn people's opinion on a name they hate. :D

New Orleans Night

Does Benson still own the rights to New Orleans Night from the old AFL team?

Don't think he ever did. He had nothing to do with that team.

What about the New Orleans Blue Angels? The logo would be a jet -- the type flown by the Blue Angels.

Agreed.

I mean, what is it? A fleur-de-lis wearing armor?

No thanks.

I'm also not a big fan of those jerseys -- they look almost identical to what Utah is wearing these days.

hahahahahaha

I like Night much better than Knights...

Our mascot could be a murder victim or someone on blow or heroin/crack.

or this would be a pretty sweet logo for the New Orleans Night (and i definitely like Night better than Nights (with an s))

I agree, I'm still not sure what it's supposed to be...use a bat, and with the whole advertising on the jerseys coming soon, we could advertise the dark knight rises when it comes out on dvd!

I still think that Pride should get some legs. Surely better than Spirit.

Saints refers to a very specific piece of New Orleans culture: perhaps our greatest jazz song. What is krewe? Krewe is a generic name for a group of people in a Mardi Gras parade. Krewe is way, way more generic. "Krewe of Popeyes" is something not so unexpected.... Krewe is corporate generic New Orleans, in my opinion.

If you want to use "Saints" as inspiration, think of other true-to-New Orleans SONGS that could conceivably be fodder for names. I know, this will be hard for most of you, since you are under the age of 25 and you are regrettably from the suburbs. Artists whose songs should be pored over: Fats Domino, Louis Armstrong, Allen Toussaint, Dr. John, etc. etc. etc.

By the way I still like the Big Shots!! (dr john big shot song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bf7i9EEdLao)
Zulu Big Shot: http://www.google.com/imgres?hl=en&c...9,r:0,s:0,i:75

Big Shots ain't too shabby.

Cool, classy logo possibilities.

To me the top names are ArcAngels/Angels, Krewe, VooDoo & Brass, in this order. I say Brass number 1 because it would be just dope. Picture the word Brass with a trumpet under it, with a nice gold & black color scheme! The jersey would be great as well with an all black uni with gold stripes coming down the side, it would be plain like Kentucky, but an beautiful old time kinda uniform. Idk about you guys but I feel if we get this name, with these colors & uniforms, we will have the best color schemes(which will draw fans) & best uniforms!
So what you all think?

Why not?

Rolling with Reapers (most bad*** name is sports), then Voodoo, then Krewe. I want a name with some unity and punch. Keep your Charlie Weis bird and cheap medal.
