Oklahoma City Vultures
Colors: Blood Red and Black (like Clay Bennet's Soul)
Logo: Circle of Vultures Around the Seattle Space Needle

I thought that was pretty clever. Thought I would share...

Hahaha yeah that one was great, so was the "Franchise Stealers" with the bandit carrying a bag of cash and the space needle....all of the ones in that vein were CLASSIC

Oklahoma City "everything thats wrong with proffesional sports" has a nice ring to it, albeit a bit long

Never thought about it before now, but I'm pretty sure there's no way the NBA lets a team be named the "Bandits" or "Outlaws." In addition to the parents groups, etc. that would be up in arms about the name "promoting crime" or some crap like that, calling your team a bunch of thieves when you've just taken a team from another city is probably not the best move, p.r.-wise ...

Thanks for the heads up, deepyellow --- that is a great discovery.
I really like the guy who did the Vultures one --- wonderfully creative and just enough bitterness to give it all a very appealing edge.
Team Stealers design is less sophisticated, but has a delightful honesty about it.
I really would have hated to miss this.
