Brian in Boston Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Personally, I was hoping that the Minnesota Wild's new Des Moines-based AHL farm team would be dubbed the Iowa Domesticated. Taking further inspiration from their parent club, the Domesticated's primary logo would be a depiction of a farm - barn, silo, house - contained within the stylized silhouette of a hog's head.

Gothamite Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 You're right - Icethetics added that, it wasn't in the press release. Maybe they will choose that name - they're apparently registering domains and Twitter handles - but if so, they certainly haven't announced it yet. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

It is/was a very solid minor league identity. The name is excellent, the plane an inspired idea and even the things I don't particularly like (squashed and arched Deco wordmark) aren't terrible.

nash61 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 The face on the plane manages to give them a minor-league, family-friendly look, while still keeping a realistic aspect because it has historical precedent.Oh, and it's better than this: On September 20, 2012 at 0:50 AM, 'CS85 said: It's like watching the hellish undead creakily shuffling their way out of the flames of a liposuction clinic dumpster fire.
