Excerpts from World Series media session with IBL PR and Marketing.
The new world order is about, style, class and look. There has been no end to jerseys, hats, names and logo’s in all professional sports. It’s worked, revenue has skyrocketed in the past 20 years on ‘throw backs’ and ‘alternate uniforms’.

So much so that the savy and in tune owners of the IBL have created their own internal PR and Marketing force tasked with being ‘ahead of the curve’ on all things ‘hip’ and trendy but never at the cost of the sport.

In addition to a few owners wishes, the IBL PR and Marketing group issued announcements on the following.

The New York Knights will change their logo in the upcoming season. A modest tweak of their colors, but nothing major, Owner Mark Roberson wanted to ‘enhance’ their brand and the logo was what they came up with.

The Los Angeles Sky Sox will change their franchise nickname to the Los Angeles Wizards. There was a ton of rumbling at the outset of the IBL about their choice of Sky Sox and in fan balloting following their 100 win season this year it was Wizards in a land slide. Their new logo and slight tweak to their colors will be revealed shortly.

The El Paso Diablos will change their team colors, from an off green and orange combination to a more ‘Diablo’ like Black and orange, new uniforms will be revealed with their new logo.

The franchise in Phoenix will have their name changed from the Phoenix Greyhounds to the Arizona Greyhounds with a slight tweak to their team colors as well. No more green, their colors will be a darker blue and greyish silver.

The Phildelphia franchise will be announcing a few tweaks as well, but the players were adamant, as were the fans, and owners, that NOTHING should be done to mess with Post Season Karma, until the post season is over.

All of the logos and new ‘stuff’ can be seen below, and there is word that the new Green Bay Franchise will be announcing it’s nickname, logo and team colors this week at the World Series Fanfest.

FOOTNOTE!!! Some legal issues have arisen and the league had to pull one of the potential new logos, the note is amended, and the logo removed.
