In late-August, the National Lacrosse League awarded an expansion team to the city of San Diego. In October, the team announced its much-awaited identity at a press conference on the rooftop of La Jolla Cove Hotel and Suites overlooking the ocean in La Jolla.
\nThe professional team, which will begin play at Valley View Casino Center in November 2018, will be known as the San Diego Seals. “We wanted a name that was inherent to San Diego,” said team president Steve Govett. “The Seals name acknowledges the marine mammals that live along our coastline, and it pays tribute to the brave men and women who help keep us safe and protect our freedom.”
\nThe team\u2019s primary logo depicts a tenacious, yet welcoming seal face. The crown has three spikes, a representation of the trident of Poseidon, the Greek God of the Sea. The shield background provokes thoughts of the head of a lacrosse stick.
\nFour colors brilliantly define the mark: gold, purple, gray and black. The Seals will be the lone National Lacrosse League team with gold and purple included in their colors.
\nPoseidon\u2019s crown \u2013 presumably made of one of the world\u2019s most-precious metals \u2013 matches the color of the spectacular array of sunshine that graces America\u2019s Finest City on a daily basis.
\nPurple, a color of royalty, is cast on the horizon of the Pacific Ocean at dusk. Lacrosse is a game invented by Native Americans. The Iroquois flag is a purple tone, and thus the Seals mark pays respect to those who call lacrosse “The Creator\u2019s Game.”
\nThe logo was commissioned by Adrenalin Inc., a Denver-based full-service branding, marketing and design agency that has created logos for dozens of professional and collegiate teams.
\n“Team ownership and management came to Adrenalin with a clear vision that their new identity would be imaginative, confident and aggressive,” said Dan Price, principal and president of Adrenalin. “Throughout our extensive process of analysis and build, their input and energy led to a family of logos that will represent their team, the city of San Diego and the National Lacrosse League for years to come.”
\nThe slogan \u2013 Surfacing Soon \u2013 will be used by the team until it begins play next November.
\nSeason ticket membership deposits are now being accepted for $50. For more information, visit SealsLax.com.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
