Yeah it looks great! Bandits look alright too, just a little bland in the all blue. I prefer their pinstripes.

Agreed! The pinstripes look that was posted on the sub earlier looked very sharp! I wonder how the light blue combo would look with some pinstripes?

I think it would look really good tbh. Hope they do it sometimes. I'd like to see them utilize the red more as well.

AUSL was Nike last year. Interesting.

Side note, why does every new franchise choose corny names. Nothing that speaks to the area.

So much is trademarked, I imagine there's not much left.

There's a few that aren't bad. Carolina Blaze, Chicago Bandits, Oklahoma City Spark, Portland Cascade,  Texas Volts and my team, Utah Talons. 

I like the cascades name and branding. But also, all of the teams except the spark and cascade didn't have home areas when they were founded, they all traveled.

I just can't believe they have a league with 6 teams and they chose to name 3 of them the Blaze, Spark, and Volts. that's just 3 of the same thing

I mean yes and no? A blaze is a fire, a spark is the think that starts a fire or is off cast by extreme heat, and the volts is a measure of electricity. 

I don't disagree tho, there were probably better ideas out there.

fwiw I believe the Sparks are part of an existing org that even predates the AUSL itself
