Need 24 African themed logos

marc · 03-01-2007, 10:25 PM

As I said in my Middle East request thread, I'm forming a 19 league fictional Universe that will be hitting the dynasty forum within the next 2 months.

I've been grabbing logos off of everyones photo bucket sites when I can but I haven't been able to come up with any African logos.

EDIT: Nicknames added.

Nairobi Warriors
Lagos Lions
Casablanca Crusaders
Kinshasha Capitals
Abidjan Harbormen
Cape Town Cheetahs
Addis Ababa Emperors
Dakar Atlantics
Durban Sugar Canes
Dar es Salaam Doves
Luanda Tribesmen
Tripoli Rebels
Algiers Pirates
Omdurman Silver Backs
Harare Hyenas
Johannesburg Giraffes
Mogadishu Black Mambas
Accra Antelope
Douala Crayfish
Kampala Kabakas
Bamako Rapids
Antananarivo Lemurs
Monrovia Mariners
Conakry Cobras

If anyone can help out with any of these I would greatly appreciate it, thanks!

I have a fictional league set in a fictional country. One of the team's nicknames is the "Impi" ( a Zulu military/war formation/armed body of men/etc.). You could use that nickname for your Durban team, which is close to the area of South Africa where the Zulu leader, Shaka (who is credited with coming up with the idea of the impi) operated.
I'm atttaching the logo from my fictional league and the logo without my modifications.

Just an idea.

That looks pretty good, if someone could take that image, put into circular format, and put Durban Impi on it, that would be sweet!

Kinshasha Capitals.

Kinshasha is located on the Congo River and is the capital of Democratic Republic of Congo directly opposite to Brazzaville which is the capital of the Republic of Congo, this is the only place in the world where two capitals are on opposite banks of a river in site of each other.

Abidjan Harbourmen.

Sorry that's all I got for Abidjan

.

Addis Ababa Emperors.

Founded by the Ethiopian emperor Menelik.

Dakar Atlantics.

Located on the countries Atlantic coast apart from that I have nothing.

Durban Sugar Canes.

One of the first industries was a sugar cane industry established by the british in the 1860's.

Dar es Salaam Doves.

Dar es Salaam is an Arabic phrase for Haven of Peace - Dove of Peace - Doves.

Luanda Tribesmen.

Ethnic mixture of many tribes like the Ovimbundu, Kimbundu and Bskongo.

Tripoli Reblionists.

Up until independence in 1951 Tripoli was under control of many nations through it's history so as an history of rebellions.

Algiers Pirates.

Became the chief seat of the Barbary pirates in around the 1500's.

Omdurman Rivermen.

All I got is it's on the banks of the River Nile.

Harare Independents.

Up until 1982 Harare was called Salisbury but was changed on the second anniversary of Zimbabwean independence.

Douala Crayfish.

Portugese who were the first explorers to explore the Wouri River which Douala is built on noted an abundance of prawns and crayfish in the river so named the river Rio dos Camaroes which is what Camaroon is derived from.

Kampala Kabakas.

Kabaka is the title of the King of Buganda, Buganda is the kingdom of the Baganda people who make up the largest ethnic group in Uganda.

Bamako Rapids.

Located near the rapids that seperate the Upper and Middle Niger Valleys.

Antananarivo Chiefs.

Was the principal village of the Hova Chiefs in the 1600's.

Monrovia Mariners

The harbor is what drives the Monrovian economy so anything to do with boats and the likes could fit.

No probs, glad to be of help.

Anybody? I know I'm asking for a lot. If I could just get the Mogadishu, Capetown, Nairobi, and Conakry logos I'd be thrilled.

Those are the most important, anything else would be icing on the cake!
