Radioactive Bees

Someone the other day was talking about what to do when clubs have no graphic design impetus.

I can't do anything about that. I have no graphic design skill. That would be my brother, who I have no intention of dragging into #nonleaguelife

Having been a founding investor in a team that subsequently went bust, I am gonna concentrate on what I know best. Passionate communication.

Fans need to have autonomy from clubs, and symbiosis.

I was just pondering the recently announced Dakota Fusion schedule and thought it would be cool to have a nickname for the team that had a separate life from the club and its (to be honest, stilted) official nickname. Maybe it was just my European allergy to teams with nicknames embedded in their formal name. It also doesn't help that Dakota Fusion have actually yet to play a home game in the Dakotas and have no ties to the Dakota people.

So, just for the hell of it, I have decided to re-christen this team the Radioactive Bees. Call it a homage. I don't care if nobody likes it, to be brutally honest.

The radioactive bees will play the 2018 season by the railside at Moorhead High School in Minnesota because the economics have so far trapped the club on the east bank of the mighty Red River.

Update: First of all, North Dakota is the nation's leading producer of honey - by a mile (source : USDA) 

Secondly, people more talented than me have offered up public domain graphics which led to this:

I'll see you guys at Jim Gotta Stadium on the 12th of May at 7pm for the visit of Viejos Son Los Trapos from St. Paul.
