The title, well... I think it would make more sense to a non Western New York English speaker. We used to have a professional roller hockey team, the Wings, who now have a youth league. They had a logo change to reflect the change. The Buffalo Wings eventually stopped competition due to both leagues going defunct (not concurrent with each other). Being the home of wings, many in the English speaking world call them "Buffalo wings" while on the contrary, the local community calls them "chicken wings." Even the motto of its birthplace, the Anchor Bar reads "home of the original chicken wing."
As some of you may recall, I made a spoof of a set of Buffalo Destroyers jerseys in the late fall of 2013 for Robert Griffin III, who was the opening week quarterback for a fantasy football league in which I was competing. Well it went from one month trial league through a friend in 2012, to me still getting updates despite that, winning the league, me commissioning a new one that led me to the above concepts, progressively posting worse records and now setting the worst record in league history of one to two wins out of fourteen pending tomorrow and Monday. So I decided that a change was in order, but nobody voted in my new nickname poll in our league forum. Other choices were based on other sports teams that had generic enough logos based in Buffalo (Sabres, Stampede, Gamblers, and Gladiators). Even though it has a small sized half a puck in it, the puck isn't defined enough but was not the deciding factor. I wanted to utilize the under-used color scheme of purple and light green.
The lime green and the purple were back and forth as to which was the alternate, I figured green since this will already stand out and the green becomes more flair. Maybe it'll be better than the Seahawks one day jersey...
