‘Defunct Teams with Awesome Logos’
First up we have the San Diego Sails of the ABA. With an ownership change in 1975 came a new name, color scheme, & uniforms for the squad formerly known as The Q’s. Q being short for Conquistador.
The Sails wouldn’t stay above water very long I’m afraid. With an impending ABA/NBA merger on everyone’s mind, those in charge would end up pulling the plug on the franchise when they realized they would be left out of the NBA life boat.
Sinking the Sails after just 11 games. The Sails finished at 3-8 over their three week existence. The ABA would fold a few months later in the spring of ’76 when four of the remaining teams were consumed by the NBA.
