WNBA Dallas Wings Unveil New Logo, Team Colors After Move From Tulsa

The WNBA Dallas Wings, who will be the first pro women's basketball club in the Metroplex since the Dallas Diamonds in the late '70s and early '80s, yesterday unveiled the team's "blue and yellow colors and Pegasus inspired design," according to Michael Florek of the DALLAS MORNING NEWS. The club also will take on a "Texas flavor." The Wings, who were formerly known as the Tulsa Shock, "expect most of their team to return." Wings G Skylar Diggins said, "We are the market disrupters." Coach Fred Williams said, "The only thing that will be different for us will be being in the community. We'll adjust to that real quick because we're going to be out in the community in the offseason and then during the season we're going to get the fans who really know us and play hard for them" (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 11/3). In Ft. Worth, Brian Gosset notes Diggins and G Odyssey Sims, who played her high school career in the Dallas area, were in attendance to help "unveil the new team name and logo before a few hundred fans and school officials at College Park Center, where the team will play its home games" during the '16 season (FT. WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM, 11/3). Meanwhile, former Shock President Steve Swetoha last week said that he has "taken the same post" with the Hornets’ new D-League team in Greensboro (TULSAWORLD.com, 10/28).
