Pels GLeague Team Has A Name: Birmingham Squadron

The New Orleans Pelicans’ G League affiliate officially has a name: the Birmingham Squadron.
On Monday, the teams unveiled the new moniker, which ties in with the parent club’s branding and is a nod toward Alabama’s military history.
A squadron is one name for a group of pelicans. It also alludes to the 99th Pursuit Squadron — the Air Force’s first all-Black flying unit that trained in Tuskegee, Alabama — as well as Birmingham’s production of planes during World War II.

As I have said in other threads, this is one reason I fully expect us to use at least two 2nd round picks. We want to start that G League rebrand right

Not terrible

I like it. Part of the reason is it’s OURS. We’ve had to wait so long, almost last in the NBA, for this franchise to grow the brand to the G-League.

We need one of our resident Photoshop experts to change this logo from Squadron to SquadSons

Shreveport Squadron fits better than Birmingham with Barksdale right across the river

I like Petty as a 3 and D prospect. If he can show that he can shoot 3s at a high level with good volume in the G-League, he could be a nice addition to watch out for in the future.

Guessing John Petty will end up with an Exhibit 10 contract with the Squadron. If nothing else...it's good "business"
