It's Valentine's Day and love is in the air! What better way to express your love and appreciate for that special someone in your life than by sending them a custom V-Day card from your favorite Indoor or Arena Football team.
But with so many to choose from, which ones are the best? Let's grade them and discuss:
First one of the day was posted by the Rattlers. Absolute no brainer to use a player on the roster with the last name Love, but Love Hurts? On Valentine's Day? That's like saying, "The British technically have a right to sovereignty over the United States" on the 4th of July.
Grade: C
Next up, we've got the Sharks! Solid graphic with a tasteful rough-around-the-edges meme worthy photoshop job. Bonus points for including the mascot and making this one of one!
Grade: B+
Up next, we've got the Sugar Skulls. We're all thinking the same thing here:
This reeks of stock imagery with a logo slapped on the corner. We gotta do better, Tucson.
Grade: D-
We've got the Pirates on deck. Subtle usage of Valentine's Day imagery while staying true to the brand guidelines. Mix an 'Ahoy Matey' in the tweet itself and this is solid!
Grade: B
*sigh* We've got another stock image with a logo on the corner. Gotta do better here, gang!
Grade: D-
It took a little while but we're in the WORD PLAY zone now!
Can I Steele your heart? I love you to the MAX! THIS is what we need in a virtual V-Day card! This is a flashback to the elementary school card days.
Grade: A+
Tough to follow Green Bay, but great effort here by Frisco. Solid attempts with the football wordplay, but just wish it was a bit more custom to the players names.
Grade: C+
*opens AI photo generator for the 5th consecutive holiday post*
Grade: D+
Great use of the home arena and old photos of past on field successes here. Also the only post so far to feature both a team logo and the league logo -- interesting!
Grade: C+
Alright, we're back. One of the best logos in Arena football history with a bouquet of flowers! This is a great one. Bravo, Nashville.
Grade: A
Boooooooo. Love the hustle to push tickets but we need something more than this to connect with the people! Grade: D-
Bay Area from the clouds! They busted out the pen and wrote a POEM for the people. Mix in the crumpled paper aesthetic and it's feeling note passing 6th grade math class all over again!
Grade: A
Quality wordplay here -- only wish it was somehow linked to the team brand!
Grade: C+
We'll update this blog with more posts throughout the day!
