Consulting, Brand Vision, Historical Research – SportsLogos.Net News

Today, I’m excited to announce the official launch of Player 97, my new consulting, research, and branding company.

After many years of helping teams, leagues, designers, and other companies, I decided to finally make it official—folks, I am here to help!

With my marketing-expert wife Kristen working alongside me, this new venture will bring our collective extensive and passionate knowledge of branding to a broader audience, offering services informed by decades of hands-on experience. We’ve teamed up with award-winning designers to provide top-quality branding for your company, team, or event. Bottom line: if it needs a logo, we can do it.

Why the name Player 97?

The name Player 97 has a special meaning for me, and it should be familiar to longtime visitors of this site (no, it has nothing to do with Connor McDavid). Many years ago, I needed a generic player name and number for the uniform graphics on SportsLogos.Net. I wanted something other than my name, and the site’s name was too long. So I went with the safety of “PLAYER” for the name and the year the site started — 97 as the number. Shortly after, I noticed many designers and companies using the same “PLAYER 97” name and number on their uniform concepts. Seeing that made me smile and would always remind me of the connection that we have together because of this website.
