Ak Bars Kazan of the KHL wear red and green

Their feeder team of the VHL also with the same colour scheme.

Montreal Alouettes of the CFL did in the very early 1970's

Infamous major junior team (QMJHL) that lasted part of a season in the mid 1980's the Plattsburgh Pioneers

If looking for existing inspiration with a X cross design, the Edinburgh Capitals have had an X cross instead of horizontal band:

For the Islanders' Alternate I have only one thing to say: "We want fish sticks!" 

No really, I do want "fish sticks".  The orange jersey looks fine, but in my opinion would be better with the "fish sticks" logo on it. 

If you despise the "fish sticks" logo, what about the lighthouse shoulder patch as a main crest?

Do you plan on sending any of your research findings over to them?

Haven't done any in a couple years at least but here there are some in my abandoned blog - Team Canada Beaver Jersey, Squirrel jersey, and a couple DIY baseball cards, etc.

This happened in the 70s, with some mild controversy...

 

The current logos of CBS 2s New York and Los Angeles, and the CBS 2s in Chicago and Pittsburgh (KDKA):

A bit similar, and also happened in the 1970's with some controversy

Stick a fork in them they are done.  Their last logo.

My city's (Thunder Bay) flag was adopted in 1972.

They chose to include likely the most iconic symbol from the city's area - the Sleeping Giant - (natural rock formation on nearby Sibley Peninsula).  Right below is a pic I took of it from the city's waterfront on Canada Day a few years back.

From the city's website:

"The design forms a golden sky from a sun behind the green Sleeping Giant, sitting in the blue waters of Lake Superior. The red maple leaf is the signification of Canada. The green and gold also represent the City's colours."

Some flags in the intro to one of the two new television shows I'm watching this year.

Does anyone have a link the Manitoba Moose's old "Antler" numbers? The link to it on page is not showing it...

there is this:

and this:

from Wikipedia - Northwoods League franchises - chart shows present and former team names.

Bismark had five names to choose from: Baldies, Bigfoots, Bullies, Flickertails, Meadowlarks (Larks).

"The Baldies pays homage to Bald Eagles. The Bullies has nothing to do with kids taking your lunch money but rather Theodore Roosevelt’s famous phrase, ‘bully pulpit.’ A flickertail is a squirrel and the Meadowlark is the state bird of North Dakota.  Bigfoot means exactly what you would think. It refers to the furry creature which may or may not be roaming around this planet.  Voting will take place through August 14."

They narrowed it down to three: Larks (Meadowlarks), Bullies, Flickertails. 

Voting is closed.

"The team will unveil the new name, logo, and a few other exciting announcements at their first community event in Bismarck Municipal Ballpark on Thursday, October 13"

Fond du Lac team naming contest appears to be still open.

Best State Flags:

 

Ohio

Maryland

New Mexico

South Carolina

Colorado

Arizona

Alaska

 

Overrated:

Texas

Tennessee

California

 

 

Worst State Flags:

The ones that just put a seal or photo with lettering on them such as Washington or Wisconsin or Kentucky. 

 

Generally agree with the best and worst here for state flags of the United States.

For Canadian provincial and territorial flags generally don't care for the ones with the union jack in the upper left corner (Ontario or Manitoba) or with a shield/coat of arms (except for the way Nova Scotia did it).  If I had to choose a best one it would be New Brunswick.

an update to the Portland Buckaroos of the old Western Hockey League would certainly be welcome:

Thunder Bay Border Cats (Northwoods League) played dressed as the Thunder Bay Whiskey Jacks (Northern League team - 1993-98 ) on July 24th.

Grandmother got me a game like this a long time ago. 

Kind of wish I had kept it now.

Yogi Berra - St. Louis Flyers

wearing the dark socks

Geographically closest to Minneapolis and Winnipeg for professional teams. Don't dislike their teams but never have been a big fan of either city's teams.

NHL: At one time is was the Flyers because when I started watching as a kid they won the cup. Then it was the Leafs because back then that's about all you could get on t.v. plus my dad is a Leafs fan. Changed to the Sabres and Nordiques sometime in the Ballard era; when the Nordiques moved my alliagiance didn't go with them. Not entirely sure why I chose those 2 teams - likely chose them after watching some games on t.v. plus likely liked the uniforms and logos.

CFL: West - Saskachewan. East - Hamilton. Underdog choices??

MLB: Was the Jays until they lost that series against the Royals in back in 1985. Changed to the Mariners - at least partially because I watched a game or two and saw Buhner and liked him. For the National league was somewhat of an Expos fan. Likely leaning back towards the Jays with Buhner long retired, and Jays easiest games to get on t.v. the rare time I watch.

NFL: No real strong alliagence right now. No one team I particularly cheer for, but there's a few teams that I disliked in my childhood that I stangely have kept the same distaste for after all this time.

U.S. College: Not being from the states and only visiting on rare occassions it's not something that interests me the vast majority of times. If there was some college hockey game/tournament on t.v. would choose the closest to me UMD or as second choice Minnesota to root for.

On the lower level it's the local teams for baseball and hockey - Border Cats of the Northwood League & Lakehead University Thunderwolves.

Haven't been out to a game yet but after looking at their site and Facebook page, Thunder Bay Border Cats of the Northwood League seem to have the 'Cats' jersey as their jersey of choice so far this year (as opposed to the 'Border Cats' ones last year):

Since this seems to have branched out into a few themes, here's an addition for Players in the "wrong" sport.

Gordie Howe - batting practice with the Detroit Tigers (1957):

and from 1951 with the Saskatoon 55's

bottom row far right:

Kenosha Kingfish of the Northwoods has a winner on their alternate/road jersey contest. Were asking for artistic students from local area middle schools and high schools.

Not the final product, may be some changes, but here's the winner's entry (If you want to see a bunch of the entries they are on the Kingfish's Facebook page) :

Here's the mascot:

Keep up the great work... And when you get a chance, I think a KC Scouts update has the potential to be awesome

(If it hasn't been done already... This thread is gettin too big hah)

Chakal (who can be found on The Goalie Store forum site) has his own site - there he has uniforms for his Pro Wrestling/Hockey touring team that have an updated logo of the Scouts.

Also some more pics here with a better look at the logo plus some action pics:
