Albuquerque Franchise Set to Move to Lincoln


The MLF's Albuquerque 47's are no more. The franchise will be moving to Lincoln, Nebraska, to play at Memorial Stadium. Franchise owner Bmac has announced the team will be the Lincoln Pioneers. Bmac wanted to keep some ties to the team's Albuquerque days. The colors are set to be black, green, and silver, similar to the 47's colors. Logos and uniforms are expected later.

BTW, that wordmark is probably temporary. I am waiting for a new logo package.

Kevin said...

The colors are a bit close to Boise's, I think you should go with orange instead. Also, might I ask who is designing the logo package?

Big Mike said...

Yeah, I think Orange fits good, just because this is similar to Boise and no one has Orange, Plus I've also loved Orange, Black, and Silver together.

Crash said...

Well, the Tropics by default have been marked as an orange team lately...

Big Mike said...

Oops, my bad, I forgot about Hawai'i haha. But Orange is more of a 3rd color it seems like.

Crash said...

Yeah in an ideal world to me it's:

-Teal
-White
-Orange

Expect some new/tweaked/TeamBuilder-friendly unis from the Trops this year. I will also post the stadium designs this weekend.

I thought Lincoln was a bad place to move? Just kidding. The colors are a bit close to mine, as Kevin said. Orange, or maybe gold, would fit

Crash said...

Ooh I like gold...

Kevin said...

GOLD FTW!

Big Mike said...

Yeah Black & Gold is a great color combo. It's what my High School uses haha but I love it, that would be good, cause there aren't really any teams with Gold as a main color.
