Erie's NBA Development League franchise will be called the BayHawks.
The team's name was announced today at a news conference at the Erie Maritime Museum in front of the U. S. Brig Niagara.
“We wanted a name and logo that connected strongly to our hometown,” team president Ron Sertz said. “The image of the hawk soaring over Erie's bayfront really hit our target and was the type of powerful image we wanted to create with our fans. I'm very proud of the logo and it's the first step in establishing our brand in the region.”
The BayHawks logo consists of a black bodied hawk with a red head, gold beak and gold claws, soaring with wings spread in front of a gold basketball. “Erie” is arched above the ball and “BayHawks”
adorns the bird's wings.
The team will play its home games at the Tullio Arena in downtown Erie starting in November.
See Saturday's Erie Times-News for more coverage.
