Top 10 defunct MILL/NLL logos

2. New York Saints (1989-2003)

Landing at #2 on the list is the second professional box franchise to play on Long Island. The Saints moved to NY after a successful two-year stint (1987-88) across the Hudson, where they won a title in their final season in New Jersey. I had a really hard to not putting the Saints at #1. Their logo is absolutely timeless. I was bummed when the now-Riptide franchise didn’t come back with the Saint Bernard on their unis (throwback night anyone?). While the New York Saints may have be associated with losing in their later years (six straight losing seasons before folding), the logo is an absolute winner in my book.
