Jason mentioned yesterday that the Tulsa Shock have officially moved to Arlington and are now known as the Dallas Wings. The team also unveiled its new logo. Before I go on: it’s awesome that the area finally has a WNBA franchise and I sincerely hope it does well and that people support them.
THAT SAID, I don’t dig anything about the new name or logo, so the franchise is off to a bad start. Dallas Wings is crazy generic, and put together with a clip-art logo, the whole thing looks and sounds like a gentleman’s club out by the airport that’s always really empty. It’s like a bad sports bar in Mesquite that oddly doesn’t even serve wings. It’s the name of the cycling group that is always mad-dogging cars in the parking lot of the 7-Eleven by the spillway and sweatily (and honestly kind of chubbily) crowding the entrance. It’s a fake Chili’s fast casual joint at 635 and Greenville with a Bud Light poster from the 2012 NFL season by the doorway.
Counterpoint: It definitely reminds me of being in Arlington.
