Minotaur Media, LLC is strapping on the helmet and heading to the jets to take to the skies with the Nashville Aviators of the Maximum Basketball League (MBL) for the 2026-27 season. The Aviators have hired Minotaur Media to create a website and a digital mascot for them and provide them with season-long graphics.
Referred to us by the Nashville Aces of the American Basketball Association (ABA), the Aviators are entering their second season in the MBL and are based in Nashville, Tennessee.
The Aces and Aviators have practiced, scrimmaged, and coordinated back-to-back games together, but Aviators owner Kyle King made it clear that his team is not trying to compete against the 2025-26 ABA Central Region Champion Aces.
“We’re essentially brothers-in-arms,” King told us.
King likes the Gambit-inspired image we created for the Aces last season and asked for a digital mascot for his team. Not a problem.
The Aviators also requested a website, and we were happy to oblige. The foundation of their website is set at NashvilleAviatorsBasketball.com and more information will be coming as the MBL season approaches.
“The Nashville Aviators represent our third minor league that we’re assisting this season,” said Minotaur Media, LLC owner Eric Ivie. Minotaur is assisting teams in the ABA and the Women’s American Basketball Association (WABA) this season, too.
“We’re excited to watch the Aviators succeed and be seen in the MBL’s Nashville market,” added Ivie. “We deeply thank the Aces for the referral and know that they will help market the Aviators, too, this season.”
The Aviators’ schedule has yet to be officially announced by the team, but the MBL generally kicks its season off in mid-September and runs into early February, with the playoffs beginning immediately afterwards.
