We’ve got official logos for all 8 of the International Swimming League year one franchises, and the only logical thing to do is have them compete head-to-head in a bracket.
We’ll match up the 8 logos in one-on-one polls, letting the fans pick their favorites. The logo with the most votes in each poll will move on to the next round. Our plan is to run round 1 for about a week, with logos moving on to the next poll bracket late next week.
Seeding was determined randomly, as were the matchups. Some franchises have multiple logos, but we tried to determine the main logo for each team.

Let’s get a philly team
can we get a philly team started???
The Trident looks like a summer league logo.
And the Condors looks luke a soccer team logo.
Cali Condors has the only really beautiful logo in my opinion. London roar is OK. The rest looks like either age-group teams or even worse, company logos (looking at you team IRON’s hardware store and AQUA CENTURIONS/ENERGY STANDARDS/LA CURRENT’s Tech consulting agencies)
Crowd sourced
LA Current logo isn’t bad. DC Trident Logo looks too age grouper-ish. I can’t do any better so I am not one to talk. However I feel like they could have asked talented artists from local teams to submit designs. Many artistic swimmers and swim fans out there that could have designed something with more character.
The Breakers logo looks like a rhino.
The Trident logo is…. a shark?
WTH?
Yeah, I’m seeing a rhino too. Can someone explain to me what it’s really supposed to be?
It’s a Rhino.
It’s “breaking” through, get it?
If they’d lose the weird cement coloring, I think I actually kind of like that one.
If they had extended that styling to the whole league, I think it would’ve been a solid brand.
It is a Rhino. The Rhino, indigenous to South Africa (where Peter and I are from) and in African culture, is a totem for power, agility, and unconventional behavior. We thought this really fit our beliefs as a club and wanted to emphasize especially the latter of those in the symbolism of the Rhino breaking through the shield. They are thick-skinned, fearless, and resilient, and that has symbolized our own personal journey to this point and we really think that it also resembles the character of the athletes we have on our team and want as part of our team.
Wait are you real?
Yes, this is the real Tina Andrew, general manager of the New York Breakers.
The weird thing about the Energy Standard logo is that on the one hand, it only makes sense if you speak Russian (Standard in Cyrillic starts with a C, so it’s like a stylized EC)… but then it still doesn’t make sense in Russian because the E is backwards (since it should be an Э).
Where do u purchase tickets?
