Quick shoutout to Galesburg. It's not everyday you see a team Rip off the MiLB's Round Rock Express. Also to El Paso Gridley for their knockoff New York/Orlando Titans of NLL Lacrosse , and CMSF using the Moncton WildcatsThere's kind of a special place in my heart for teams that went the extra mile to rip-off lesser known logos. Like y'all went through all that effort when y'all could've made your own. I've already seen a few schools use the NY/NJ Hitmen, and the old Omaha Ak-Sar-Ben Knights from the AHL. Like these logos lasted in their original form for 1 and 3 years respectively yet you still see em around. Impressive. It also means that all the time I spent looking at Various Wikipedia Articles and SportsLogos.net paid off.
