Scorchers, Giants, Gladiators, Patriots, Phoenix, Eagles, and Sharks have all posted similar but unique teaser images.
For some reason, Riders and Flyers have simply reposted the BBL's post and London Lions haven't posted anything at all.
I've been trying to see if the lines on the different images connect in any meaningful way but haven't found anything.
Edit: Bristol have now posted their own.

A rebrand would be good.
The BBL logo has looked awful for ages.

Has to the fixtures, they've cocked everything else up. However 777 are trying to make the league more exciting and watchable. The announcement could be saying that they are giving all clubs a 25 point start in all games against Lions to have some close games? . |

Essex Rebels have posted one of these pictures too. Might be a new “BBL Trophy”

Essex Rebels have posted one of these pictures too. Might be a new “BBL Trophy” I hope NBL teams are included, it seems so silly not to. People get bored of playing the same 9 teams over and over. If they are included I hope there's conditions that NBL teams can't be drawn against eachother in the first round, it's such a waste. |

To be honest I'm hoping it's the fixtures or something else and the fixtures.
Whatever it is hopefully it will be big and shocking.
Maybe the return of the London City Royals or a new franchise or 2.
If it was a new franchise or 2 then maybe I could forgive them for not releasing the fixtures sooner.

The pats chairman posted in the supporters group saying he hasnt even got a court for 1/4 of the season. Might be why the fixturws are late. You wouldnt want to post them with a tbc next to them all

But they’re not a particularly good one and there’s no news of them recruiting any good players so I don’t think there’s much chance of them joining the BBL this season. |

I wonder if it is the venue or something to do with this Mickey Mouse All Star game they scrapped the BBL Cup for?
If Essex's Rebels are posting about it I would guess not unless they or other EBL/SBL sides are also involved?
Although we still don't know what the venue is for that game yet.

The WBBL and WBBL sides Nottingham and Cardiff also posted similar images, with Sheffield Hatters retweeting the WBBL's one - so it's obviously something that affects both the BBL & WBBL.
My guess (hope) is fixtures.

It could be an All Star game double header with a women’s game followed by the men’s game.

My guess (hope) is fixtures. you are right, its something that impacts BBL and WBBL as both orgs and clubs from both have posted it - but its not fixtures! WBBL fixtures have been out for getting on a couple of weeks now. I'd list two items as joint favourites for what it is: Either rebrand of BBL and WBBL or the launch of the new inhouse broadcasting team and the logo they will work under. Lower odds are its the details of the all-star day, but be weird to push and launch that with so much effort when still to announce BBL fixtures. |

Is it one of those TV Sports documentaries every football club seems to get these days. I mean I really enjoyed "Welcome to Wrexham" and I started watching the latest Amazon TV series on Newcastle United today as well. Are they planning on releasing one on the London Lions rise to success or the rise and fall of the Newcastle Eagles. Or one based on the entire BBL titled "BBL know our name!". Sounds mad I know but before they were bought by Hollywood owners barely anyone had heard or thought much about about Wrexham. Now even fans from other teams are curious to watch them progress and know about them now. Let's be honest it wouldn't exactly be the worst idea if that was what the BBL tried to do in order to gain some more publicity. |
