Locos Radio Partner

Head coach Jim Fassel and Locos tight end Adam Bergen made a big announcement on ESPN Radio 1100 KWWN on Thursday July 15th. The team has partnered with the radio station here in Las Vegas to broadcast all home and away games live during the 2010 UFL season.

Mitch Moss will be the play by play announcer with Doug Marsh as the color analyst. If any conflicts arise with UNLV football or MLB playoffs, the broadcasts will switch to Fox Sports 920 KBAD.

This is great news! For the full press release, check out the UFL site here.

New Logo Analysis

The new Locos logo has a few new elements that were added to the original to make it look better. Here, I'll analyze the new additions, and explain where I think that each new addition came from.

The Locomotives' New Colors?

Last year, all four UFL teams used the same color pallet. The colors that were used were the colors of the UFL logo, and were used to raise awareness and branding for the league.

This year, all bets are off for team colors. So far, the UFL has been pretty quiet on information regarding the subject. The only thing we've heard is that the Florida Tuskers will be keeping their "Tusker" blue. Coach Jagodzinksi of the Omaha Nighthawks mentioned that their colors may be black, silver, and white. The Locos have been using the same shade of blue as the Tuskers in their uniforms and logo. If the Tuskers are keeping the color, then that would probably mean that the Locos will be changing their scheme to stray away from the original shared color pallet.

So what colors should the Locos use? When are we going to learn and see the new colors and uniforms? Will there be an updated logo? Unfortunately, these questions have yet to be answered, but I feel that the league has already been giving hints towards the Locos branding going forward.
