San Angelo Saints Unveil Logo

San Angelo Saints general manager Daniel Chaput isn’t a theology major, but he did have an interesting theory as he unveiled the team’s new black, gold and silver logo.

As the crowd assembled at the press conference looked over the logo, which features a dusty cowboy sporting a halo and wielding his hockey stick upside down like a sword, Chaput offered an observation.

“It’s based off St. Michael,’’ Chaput explained. “Most pictures of him, he’s seen with a sword stabbing the devil. We have a West Texas version of that.

“If St. Michael lived in San Angelo, that’s how he’d look.”

Curtis Hensley of Curtis Sign Company provided the basic outline and theme of the logo, which had to be approved by the New Orleans Saints of the NFL. Merchandise with the new logo may be available at the Outlaws office within a week, and Chaput guaranteed it would be available at the exhibition game against Odessa next Friday.

“I couldn’t have come up with it better,’’ Coach Brent Scott said. “I was frustrated, it took a long time to get it done, but I’m happy with what we came up with. I don’t know if there are any saints in San Angelo, but we are proud of our logo, proud of our owners and proud of the team.”

“It’s different,” Chaput said. “It still captures West Texas, it captures the team.’’

The cowboy doesn’t have a name, though Chaput predicted one will come up naturally.

The team also announced that game tickets for the upcoming season will go on sale Monday at the Convention Center ticket office. Prices are $16 for box seats, $10 for mid-zone and $5 for end zone. The exhibition game is free for season-ticket holders and half-price for anyone bringing three non-perishable food items.

The regular season opens at home on Oct. 18 against El Paso.
