Top 10 defunct MILL/NLL logos

5. Syracuse Smash (1998-2000)

This will likely be the most controversial of the ranks on my list. It’s absurd. It’s too cartoonish and the font is ridiculous. It even has, what I’m pretty sure, is one of the Syracuse Smash’s original players highlighted on there. I wonder what it was like for Paul Gait to have his face on the front of everyone’s jerseys. It’s the epitome of the late 90s and that’s why it’s one of my favorites. No, I don’t think anyone would choose this logo for an expansion franchise today, but that’s not the exercise at hand.
