BirminghamProSports.com debuts official logo. September 18, 2023 |
|||||||
![]() |
After years of tinkering with ideas, I finally decided on a logo for
this website! I wanted to incorporate a few city symbols in the logo... the Vulcan statue, the old train station sign, and the "All American City" logo the city earned in the 1970's. I never could find a way to incorporate a "Magic City" image, sadly. Vulcan in a top hat was not going to happen. I also didn't want an exact copy of the Vulcan statue... I think he is quite boring. In mythology Vulcan was ugly, so I made my Vulcan a little wilder looking but tried to accurately copy the statue's hammerhead and apron. I kept him a grey tone like the statue, and I wanted him to be popping out of the logo. I thought I'd make the train station sign a rusty color to play off Vulcan's grey and if the original sign had never been torn down, I'd think it would have a fair amount of rust on it today. I've always like the font used at the Vulcan statue and wanted to use something similar, so Art Deco was used. It looks old timey but still looks cool to me. The bottom portion was taken from the All-American City shield logo. The vertical lines also remind me of the old TCI smokestacks I saw as a youngster growing up in Ensley. So, that's it. I hope everyone likes it. |

Southern Professional Hockey League rebrands as SPHL. August 1, 2023 |
||||||
![]() |
The Southern Professional Hockey League announces that effective
immediately it will simply be known as the SPHL. The league has branched out in recent years to include teams in both the southeast and midwest United States and feels the old name was too restrictive. Similar to what the ECHL did in changing from the East Coast Hockey League, our continued success and expansion outside of the original footprint of the league has allowed the hockey world to recognize us simply as the SPHL, stated Commissioner Doug Price. The original league logo will continue to be used, but the words Southern Professional Hockey League has been removed. |

NEWLY DISCOVERED FROM 1972! October 19, 2022 |
||||||
![]() |
The American Basketball
Association held a regular season game in Birmingham on March 24,
1972 between the Pittsburgh Condors and the Kentucky Colonels. The Condors will be relocating after the season and the team says the Magic City is on their radar. The Colonels won the game 134-107 and 3,000 fans attended the game. Four days later, the Condors hosted the Colonels again, this time in their last "home" game, in Tucson, Arizona where they drew an estimated 5,000 fans. The Birmingham and Tucson games drew significantly better than their final home game in Pittsburgh, however, where the Condors drew only 689 fans. Ultimately, the traveling "home" games did not help the Condors. In June 1972 the ABA canceled the Condors franchise, ending Birmingham's hopes for a team. |

Where Our Teams Rank | |
xxxxxx | Where do Birmingham teams rank in professional sports? There are three main professional sports divisions; MAJOR LEAGUE, MINOR LEAGUE, and SEMI-PRO. Within each division, there is a spectrum of "more" to "less". For example, in the MAJOR LEAGUE division the National Football League is at the very top and falls on the "more" end of the spectrum. However, the Canadian Football League is also a major league but doesn't compete for the same players as the NFL, so they fall down toward the "less" end of the spectrum. Each division is broken down by sport. Please note that each sport's spectrum is unique to that sport, not in comparison to the other sports in that division. |
