So dumb that they had to use the same name as their parent club.

The article linked doesn't actually say they will be the Iowa Wild.

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.

:P;)

Did you read the headline?

"Wild AHL Affiliate moving to Iowa."

That does not automatically mean the team will be called the Iowa Wild.

I actually like the idea of that logo. The name. Not so much.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

I like it as well.

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.

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:
