*The History of ISFL Logos

Starboy · (This post was last modified: 05-19-2021, 12:08 AM by Starboy.)

Hey so I took a bit of a project to dig back through the league's history in the form of logo changes through the league's history. This isn't really a full media piece so don't worry about grading it media graders, but I want to provide a bit of notes on different logos and changes for any new users that have not seen these old logos. I used the old forum as well as the index to gather up and information on the logos so hopefully I am as correct as possible on any of the founding teams or controversies that caused change. The logos are an interesting part of the league so here are how the different logos have changed. Hope you enjoy!

ARIZONA OUTLAWS ARI

Note: The first logo originally was orange instead of red, but apparently too many early teams were orange and they switched to red immediately

AUSTIN COPPERHEADS AUS

BALTIMORE HAWKS BAL

BERLIN FIRE SALAMANDERS BER

CHICAGO BUTCHERS CHI

COLORADO YETI COL

Note: Originally named the Denver Grizzlies, and I FINALLY was able to locate the logo. They were forced to switch from an orange team like the Outlaws before the season began and ended up becoming the Yeti from there on.

HONOLULU HAHALUA HON

NEW ORLEANS SECOND LINE NOLA

Note: The Second Line began life as the Las Vegas Legion, but faced many bad seasons early on as well as some controversy with a certain mass retiring article posted back in the league's early days. I believe that this bad publicity managed to force the change from what I have seen, but please correct me if I am wrong.

NEW YORK SILVERBACKS NYS

ORANGE COUNTRY OTTERS OCO

PHILADELPHIA LIBERTY PHI

SAN JOSE SABERCATS SJS

SARASOTA SAILFISH SAR

YELLOWKNIFE WRAITHS YKW

Note: The only evidence for this pre-S1 logo is a draft prediction thread that also shows evidence of the Grizzlies and the orange Outlaws logo. The index shows the logo we all recognize today

@Starboy Yup, after The Vegas mass retirement controversy, and a quick double change in management, the next GM decided to move the, to NOLA to distance the team and get a fresh start.
