  1. The state tree is the Quaking Aspen and honestly, I wouldn't be mad about the Utah Quaking Aspens.
  2. It's worth noting that Nebraska-Omaha has had a long-running D1 college hockey program there, despite being a geographical outlier for decades. It's not unlikely that there's a potentially untapped pro hockey market there.
  3. Canes' helmets will feature oversized numbers on one side and the crest on the other. Haven't sourced a good clean shot but you can see the number side in this tweet. https://twitter.com/Canes/status/1618638493714108416?s=20
  4. I mean if you want to get technical, that's precisely what the Sharks did this round. The Barons branding was very Ohio-forward and the Blue Jackets seek to market to the entire state. It's not a massive stretch.
  5. If Columbus was well and truly stuck with respect to what to do based on their upcoming plans, it seems unfathomable that they wouldn't look to adapt some aspect of a Cleveland Barons jersey for RR 2.0. Complete missed opportunity.
  6. I mean, there's no way you're convincing me this wasn't a track off a Castlevania game soundtrack.
  7. Based on this screen cap from Fanatics, Carolina may be switching to the black alternates at home. I wouldn't be surprised to see the black pants that were dabbled with last season make a return appearance as well.
  8. The press conference currently going on confirms that IU Indianapolis (presented with no hyphen) will be the name and that there will be a task force to study athletics, but the intention is for IU to absorb the athletic operations rather than Purdue and to remain in the Horizon League. Purdue sounds like they're imagining their continued presence essentially to be Purdue Community College, feeding into West Lafayette.
  9. So the only consistency in the Wheeling set is essentially the yoke design. What a spectacularly bad set of design decisions.
  10. While the powder blue is trendy, in this case it likely draws from the city's official (mess of a) flag, or the much more popular People's Flag of Milwaukee.
  11. Those of us old enough to remember the WHA may find that Calgary City uniform a little familiar... https://www.sportslogos.net/logos/list_by_team/344/Calgary_Cowboys/
  12. An additional strike against Springfield as one of the relocation sites is that the MGM Casino is moving into town, and has already announced a partnership with the MassMutual Center (where the Falcons play) and has sponsored the Falcons since 2012. The partnership proposal states that MGM commits to an additional three-year sponsorship post-opening of the casino. That's not to say that such a proposal couldn't be transferred to an ECHL team, but it does give some insight as to why a lower attendance number is less of a worry in Springfield than in other places.
  13. From what I understand, the Checkers' move will also ensure a better selection of prime weekend dates, which is critical for the health and survival of any minor-league hockey team (particularly one that exists in a market with another major league winter sport). The city and club are sinking a bunch of money into renovations, and it's seen as a homecoming - it's the original Charlotte Coliseum that has been the home for hockey in Charlotte since the 50s.
  14. The Daytona set really needs a secondary logo with Danny Trejo's head as a part of it.
