[edit] History
The Los Angeles Cobras played in the 1988 Arena Football League season only. They played their home games at the Los Angeles Sports Arena, which they shared with the Los Angeles Clippers of the National Basketball Association. The team's logo was unusual in that it consisted of an interlocking "LA" in which the left upright of the "A" was formed by the hooded head and "neck" of a cobra. The team made the playoffs during its only season of existence, losing in the first round to the Chicago Bruisers. The Cobras are also featured in the film Kinjite: Forbidden Subjects, directed by J. Lee Thompson and starring Charles Bronson. One scene takes place during a Cobras/Bruisers game. It was released in early 1989.
