Surprize, AZ--
After being stymied by BBA management about a potential major league rebrand in Phoenix, the Talons have decided to move and rebrand their AAA team instead.
This was important, because the Talons had already agreed to pay the creative consultant for their work on the logos, caps, and jerseys.
The move comes as a shock to the residents of Ashland, Wisconsin, a quiet town on the shores of Lake Superior and home to the Talons current affiliate the Slowriders. Most Ashland residents were shocked to learn that there was a AAA team there in the first place. In any case, trucks are being fired up all across northern Wisconsin to prepare for the move to Surprise, Arizona. A suburb of Phoenix, Surprise is a city of 140,000 people that was founded in 1938 by Flora Mae Statler, who named it Surprise because she "would be surprised if the town ever amounted to much".
So this move is definitely a surprise to the Talons, their AAA Ashland Slowriders players, and the residents of Surprise itself. One resident was quoted as being upset about the move, stating "I moved out here to the suburbs to get as far away from the Talons as possible, and they come to me! Dammit!"
As part of the announcement, the franchise revealed the caps, jersey, and logo for the Surprise Talons. And as a bonus, they have already been pre-approved by the Commish! Go Talons!
