Absolutely shocked to see trella do a 180 on this. So soft to take a couple of shots from nobodies in the thread and pretend it was all an April fools joke. I expected more from Tampa.

If it wasn’t obvious this is an april fools joke. Real branding: Tomorrow at noon EST.

BOOOO!

Real branding: Moves team to Salt Lake to actually become the Salt Lake City Sand Lions, not some knockoff version in Tampa Bay.

every lake is a salt lake when you play for tampa bay

Well fuck this I'm going back to Edmonton
