Indiana Lyons Use AI to Imagine Other Teams

Our graphics guy has been playing around with AI this season, using it for a variety of images that we use in a variety of places. Recently, he caught the creative bug and started imagining mascots for other teams around the American Basketball Association (ABA), choosing teams whose names inspired him.

That led to a couple of requests by teams, including one team from a different league. And he finished it up with a gift to the Lyons’ friends in the TBL, the Kokomo Bobkats.

These images are free to swipe, steal, download, and use wherever you want to. They’re gifts to the featured teams. It’d be nice if you’d credit Indiana Lyons when you post or share each image.

Want one for your team? For custom work requests, please contact Tyrone Brown at tyronebrown@indianalyons.com to discuss pricing and coordination with our graphics guy.

Here’s what our graphics guy came up with during his creative outburst:

North Alabama War Dawgs of the ABA.
Mississippi Silverbacks of the ABA.
Providence Pirates of the ABA.
Atlanta Aliens of the ABA.
Indiana Shuckers of the IBL Pro-Am. The Shuckers plan to enter the ABA in the 2024-25 season. This piece was done by request.
New York Hoop Dragons of the ABA.
Western Oklahoma Bulls of the ABA.
Houston Red Storm of the ABA.
Vegas Royals of the ABA.
Silicon Valley Panthers of the ABA.
413 Elite of the ABA. 413 Elite hail from Springfield, MA. The area code there is 413. This piece was done by request.
Massachusetts Wolves of the ABA. This piece was done by request.
Kokomo Bobkats of the TBL.

Free Tickets to ABA Central Region Playoffs Available

Lyons Pride, it’s been a rough season, hasn’t it? Cancelled games, a little overexuberance at one game, an unexpected home loss (ouch!), all the technical difficulties in our game videos, there was probably an alien invasion and a pterodactyl attack in there somewhere……. WHEW! It’s been a bumpy ride!
 
But you stuck with us through all of it, and we can’t thank you enough. The crowds at our last three home games were AH-MAZ-ING!!! 
 
We thought about holding a meaningless exhibition intrasquad scrimmage this weekend as a “fan appreciation game,” but then we thought, “You know what? Let’s show the Lyons Pride our sincere appreciation for them in the most meaningful games out there — the playoffs!”
 
So…no scrimmage this weekend. Instead, we will honor all of the free game tickets that are out there for both weekends of the playoffs! Yes, you can gain FREE admission to all six (6) playoff games that we’re hosting over March 16-17 and March 23-24 by getting your hands on some of those tickets! 
 
Already got some free tickets? Cool! You’re set for both weekends of the playoffs!
 
Need some free tickets? No problem. You can find them, while supplies last, at Deka Lash in Plainfield Commons, Hendricks County Parks & Recreation main office in Danville, Hendricks County Senior Center in Danville, The Locker Room Sporting Goods in Danville, McCloud Nature Park outside of North Salem (may we suggest attending Maple Syrup Days this Saturday, March 9?), and the Indianapolis Healthplex during each location’s normal business hours. And staff and residents of Woodland Terrace in Danville, get your free game tickets at your front office.
 
Come watch all the action, cheer us on when we play, and see who the ABA Central Region will be sending to the ABA Championship Weekend in Alabama! For FREE!! So go get those tickets before they run out! And THANK YOU, Lyons Pride!! We 💜💙 you!! Now let’s blow the bricks off the gym for all six games!
