Miami Stingrays Unveil Logo, Uniforms

Just one week after the Lewis Cup Finals ended, the expansion Miami Stingrays unveiled their much-anticipated logo and uniforms. The logo features a black stingray dribbling a puck superimposed on a triangle in the team colors of Teal, Black, and "Hot Pink". The secondary logo, which will be worn on the shoulders, is an simple orange/pink sun. The uniforms are some of the most unusual uniforms seen in the PHL. The road jerseys will be Teal, trimmed in Pink, Black, White, and Silver, with the home whites simply swapping the Teal with White. The uniforms also feature a very unusual font for the numbers and names, similar to the font used in the team's wordmark.

"We are very excited to finally reveal our club's identity" said owner Hector Cruz. "The uniform is very unique, but we are not like the other teams, we wanted a unique look." GM/Head Coach David Zimmer admitted the look needed to grow on him a bit, but was excited nonetheless. "It's definitely very different, but I think it fits Miami well" said Zimmer. "It'll look even better someday with the Lewis Cup raised above it." 

Despite receiving mixed reviews from PHL players and fans around the league, the look proved to be a huge hit with locals, quickly outselling expansion cousin Kansas City in merchandise, and even mounting a serious challenge to the Lewis Cup champion Milwaukee Choppers, currently the top team in the league in merchandise sales.

The expansion draft for both the Stingrays and Twisters will be held June 7, 1989.
