Laredo indoor football team president Chad Dittman revealed the team’s name, logo and colors on Friday afternoon. Eighteen people won the “Name the Team” contest in choosing “Rattlers.” More than 540 people registered over the week-long competition.
The team colors are navy, red, vegas gold and antique gold.
“It fits the area,” Dittman said. “When I was driving to and from Laredo, I already had in mind what we were looking for and what we wanted.”
Dittman – who also owns teams in Rio Grande Valley and Corpus Christi – said he wanted a name that captured the essence of the city.
Next on his to-do list is finding a home for his teams. Dittman said it is a “99 percent” done deal that his teams merge with other Texas franchises to form a Texas-based league.
