Antonio Silver Stars
San Antonio Silver Stars Unveil Logo
 The San Antonio Silver Stars today unveiled their new
logo for their first season in San Antonio. The Silver
Stars were born on December 5, 2002, when Spurs Sports &
Entertainment announced that they had assumed ownership
of the Utah Starzz of the WNBA and that the team would
relocate to San Antonio.
“The
unveiling of the new logo is another step taken towards
what we feel will be an exciting inaugural season of
WNBA basketball in San Antonio,” said Clarissa
Davis-Wrightsil, Silver Stars Chief Operating Officer.
“We wanted the logo to be something that fans in San
Antonio could relate to and we feel we have done that
with the colors we chose.”
San Antonio’s logo has a black and silver color
scheme that is similar to that of the San Antonio Spurs,
the Silver Stars’ NBA counterpart. The star is a
representation of the team’s Texas ties, with Texas
being known as the “Lone Star State.” The logo was
designed by Creative Civilization – an Aguilar/Girard
Agency. In addition, the Silver Stars home uniforms will
have a silver body instead of the traditional white,
while the away uniforms will be black.
The Silver Stars will host an “After Party” after the
unveiling at the San Antonio Express-News Headlines
restaurant beneath the Sombrilla at the SBC Center. Fans
will have a chance to mingle with Silver Stars players
Natalie Williams and Danielle Crockrom, as well as head
coach Candi Harvey and assistant coach Tammi Reiss.
Everyone in attendance will receive a Silver Stars
T-shirt and will be treated to a light dinner. Anyone
who brings along a guest that purchases two season
tickets will receive an autographed WNBA basketball by
the players and coaches at the festivities. Those who
purchase season tickets and pay in full will receive a
Six Flags Fiesta Texas Day Pass for each seat in the
account.
The Silver Stars open their inaugural season in San
Antonio on May 24 at the SBC Center when they host Sue
Bird and the Seattle Storm at 7:30 p.m. Fans can
purchase 18-game lower level season ticket packages or
the Silver Stars Weekend 6-Game Plan by calling
444-5050. Season tickets prices are $126.00, $270.00,

Fans can also tune in and listen to all of the team’s
