Help me find a better name for my league? (1 Viewer)

[troy1troy]

In September, I'll be finishing up the second season of the league I host (one tournament a month for 10 months and then a championship tournament). I've thoroughly enjoyed hosting, but I want to up my game a little bit for season 3 starting with a better name.

My last name is Mason, so when I started the league, I defaulted to Mason's Muck. In the words of my kids, "that's a solid meh."
I have visions of posters, custom playing cards, and maybe even my own chips some day. I'm having trouble envisioning a cool "logo" made from "Mason's Muck". Maybe if you all have an idea for that I'll stick with it?

I'm open to anything, but I have an affinity toward a pirate theme ( Yes, I've seen the pillage and plunder chips. Phenomenal.) Thanks in advance!

@Ben8257 mastermind of all creative ideas and a love for the pirate theme, can you offer a suggestion?

The Scrub Donkey League.

Yeah. After @toynoob confirmed I'm an official scrub donkey after my first post on the forum, I definitely thought about that...or at least designing a chip set based on that!

KISS: Mason's Lodge would be my choice. If you want to keep it Pirate-y, Mason's Pinnance (a play on penance) or Mason's Galley (a play on a kitchen, if you are a foodie) have a nice ring (i.e., types of ships). Definitely stay away from Mason's Junk though!

Interesting... I will have to give that some thought!! Wheels are turning, so you want to incorporate the last name still or thinking of getting away from it? When I started thinking of customs, I wanted it to be personalized... but after being on this site, selling staples and the idea of your chips being a fantasy casino I got away from making them personal... the only true plan I have is that many people call me black beard, so I would love to do a tourney set called Black Beards Revenge! But in general when I think of poker and pirates it needs to be about theft, sailing, fighting or death, But not at all limited, it could still be personalized depending on the group and possibly use a drunken theme... navagation options... depends how you want to go with it! Definitely interesting let me know what you're thinking, best of luck and welcome to the forum!!! Fellow chipper Ben

Interesting idea. Would that force the logo to be this....

 

[cpac54]

Mason’s Booty Shack, or something with Loot, or buried Treasure?

Mason’s House of Plunder?

Davey Jones Poker Locker?

Whatever name you pick, you should have a cool tag line to go along with it:

Something like, “No prey, no pay!” Or perhaps “No quarter given” or “Give no quarter!”

I definitely like the "No Quarter Given" tag line. It fits well because we don't play with T25's

I would not use this unless you know what it actually means and stands for

'Twas just a joke - although I do know what they mean and stand for

Not at all. I'm sure you can come up with a suitable replacement. You could always go with a series of columns and a pediment.

The Masonry

(Optional tag line - “Building Stacks One Chip at a Time”)

Get in touch with one of the designers on here and have them put together a logo of a brick with the name in raised letters.

Similar to this:

Or, the letter ‘M’ built with brick or stone.

It definitely does not have to incorporate my last name.
When I started the league, my intent was to go full on pirate theme. I 3D printed custom dealer, BB, and SB buttons, but was soon overwhelmed with prepping for the league. If I can find the right name, I'd like to eventually do everything custom: Speed Cloth, Cards, Chips, Etc....
Current dealer, BB, and SB buttons below. (They can easily be redone with a new name / logo).

 

[troy1troy]

You've all definitely gotten me thinking! I still really lean toward the pirate theme. I was thinking "Mason's Mayhem" might be something to work with, but there's still a disconnect.

What if it's something as simple as "The Pirate Lounge", "Pirate's Lounge", "Pirate's Cove", "Pirate's Cove Poker Lounge" Too plain? Thoughts? Ideas?

Or simply "Masonic Temple", with a picture of either your house, or the side of your head.

There is a story behind this, I could share at a meetup, maybe a day pass in Sarasora area meetup in Feb.

I'm glad he did because I was slow on the uptake. That's hilarious.

...and possibly use a drunken theme...

I like the way you think!! I'm 2 hours away from being a drunken sailor....but I doubt I'll be any help with a drunken theme since I won't remember much in the morning...LOL!!
