Changes Coming

Some changes have recently been announced that involve some local professional teams.

First, the Tampa Bay Storm anounced that they will have a new logo and new uniforms next year. The changes will be introduced at Storm Fest, which takes place this Saturday. The Storm have had the same logo for quite a while, so in a way it has sort of a classic feel to it. Perhaps it is just a slight tweak; We'll pass judgement once the designs are released.

The other change in the Bay Area is the name of the newly-renovated St. Pete Times Forum. As on January 1, the Forum will be known as the Tampa Bay Times Forum. The newspaper is changing its name, and thus the arena name shall change too. I like how the name is now incorporating the entire region, because the St. Pete Times Forum in located in Tampa, Florida is a bit awkward. I think most people still prefer the pre-sponsorship days of the Ice Palace.
