Top 10 defunct MILL/NLL logos

With the influx of new franchises in the National Lacrosse League, I thought it would be a great time to take a look back at some defunct teams and where they ranked on my Mount Rushmore of old logos.

Who knows, with the NLL planning to add expansion teams 15 and 16 in the next few years, maybe we’ll see one or two of these logos make a comeback in some capacity in the near future.

Authors note: Two teams not listed are the original iterations of the Philadelphia Wings and Rochester Knighthawks. While their previous logos would have most certainly landed them in my Top 10, I decided to stick with squads that many fans may have completely forgotten about.
