q.
The Toledo Walleye colors are gold and three shades of blue, which will be incorporated in the many primary and secondary Walleye logos. "The Walleye is something we can develop a story around," Mr. Napoli said. "On an annual basis, 50,000 people come to fish for walleye in the Maumee River and Lake Erie. The logo looks good on apparel, it's dissimilar from other sports teams, and *you can spell it*."
Hockey is scheduled to return to Toledo in the fall of 2009.
Mr. Napoli said he could unveil the football team's name and logo in the next six months, and the name will likely be chosen from the lists used for the hockey team. He said that, like the Walleye, the football team's name will draw initial support from some and opposition from others. "I've yet to see a sports franchise unveil a new team name or logo *without some controversy*," Mr. Napoli said. "We're prepared for that."
Mr. Napoli said another reason Toledo Arena Sports went away from "Woodpeckers" was a different franchise's move to incorporate the woodpecker into its own logo. The Williamsport Crosscutters, a minor-league baseball team in Williamsport, Penn., recently announced the woodpecker would be a part of its new marketing scheme.

br. When fishing, you can't 'lip' a walleye like you can a bass. Well, you could, but it might sting a little. Walleye have a scattered set of teeth like a hockey player.

br. *Side note:* The walleye spawning run up the Maumee River begins in a few weeks. Monitor "river conditions":http://www.maumeetackle.net/id23.htm and fish activity at the "Maumee Tackle":http://www.maumeetackle.net/ Web site.

br. "Port Clinton":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Clinton%2C_Ohio is nicknamed the "'Walleye Capital of the World'":http://www.walleyecapital.com/home.html although "other cities":http://www.roadsideamerica.com/set/walleye.html claim the same title. But Port Clinton also features the annual Walleye Drop on New Year's Eve, which can be read at "WalleyeMadness.com":http://www.walleyemadness.com/.
br. Remember several years ago when big frog sculptures "dotted":http://pets.webshots.com/album/22797635JVAZsehZTU?start=0 Toledo? "Back":http://www.toledotalk.com/cgi-bin/comments.pl/1/4 in 2003, "Maumee Council for the Arts":http://www.maumeearts.org/ did something "similar":http://toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?Site=TO&Date=20030121&Category=NEWS18&ArtNo=101210037&Ref=AR except "their":http://www.maumeearts.org/walleyepics.html creations were the "Wacky Walleye":http://www.maumeearts.org/walleye.html.

br. In addition to being called the Glass City, Toledo is sometimes "nicknamed":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toledo,_Ohio#Geography _Frog Town_ because of Toledo's proximity to what was the "Great Black Swamp":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Black_Swamp. Seems like a sports team should incorporate some kind of frog as its mascot. In 2008 at the Toledo Zoo, it's the "Year of the Frog":http://www.toledozoo.org/conservation/conserv_YearoftheFrog.html with the first event called 'Leap Day' occurring on February 29.
