txranger,
I've got a request for you and I believe it is one you will enjoy.
If you could make me a logo, home/away uniform, and caps (so full set) for the New Orleans Kingfish, I would greatly appreciate it. I'd also appreciate it if the brand would resemble present day brands as opposed to a '40s or '50s brand.
Why the Kingfish?
I wanted to think of a name for New Orleans that was out of the box, but wasn't Pelicans, Jazz, or something else that was obvious, but still a name that ties into the city really well.
Enter Kingfish.
"Kingfish" was the nickname of famous politician Huey P. Long. Long was a senator and governor of Louisiana in the '20s and '30s and was assassinated in 1935. Long had an interesting career as a politician, and many believe he was wildly corrupt, but he was still revered in New Orleans and throughout Louisiana.
Presently, the bridge that crosses the Mississippi River and takes you into New Orleans is called the Huey P. Long bridge.
The word Kingfish has a few other New Orleans ties as well. First, Kingfish is a nickname for the fish the King Mackerel, which is a species of mackerel specific to the Gulf of Mexico and can often be caught fishing in New Orleans.
One more distant tie to the name, is the history of New Orleans has so many ties to aristocracy and elites, and the first half of the word Kingfish ties to that.
So, with all that history in mind (and inspiration for the namesake) I'd love it if you could create a set.
If anyone else other than txranger would like to take a stab, then have at it. I'm not stopping you
