OSU looks good, but I definitely miss the script "Cowboys" on the helmets.

Not hockey, but I've always loved the Iowa Barnstormers name (plus their helmets are one of my all-time favorites)

New Orleans looks great, super classy. I love that color scheme for them.

Not saying it's my preferred name, but I could see a 3rd Atlanta team going with Firebirds for their name. It ties in the Flames & Thrashers names of the past while also being symbolic of Atlanta's history with fires and having an NHL team reborn in the city... again.

These are beautiful

Am I happy with Frost as a name? Eh, not really. But it's a way better than the Superior or Superiors so it could be worse. I have no idea how "Minnesota Marmots" wound up being a finalist seeing as Minnesota... doesn't even have Marmots, or at least anything that we call Marmots. I guess Groundhogs (aka Woodchucks) are technically part of the marmot family of rodents, but I've never once heard them referred to as Marmots. When I hear "Marmot" I think of the Yellow-bellied Marmot which is found more out west. Overall, I'm not really big on any of the names or logos across the league, but I do think it's better than we would have gotten if the original leaked names were picked.

I noticed on the mothership that the Brandon Wheat Kings apparently quietly updated their logo. It's practically the same logo just recolored to be only black and gold. Not that much of a difference but a downgrade IMO.

I always love when the Golden Gophers actually wear their gold jersey

St. Louis and Birmingham both look amazing. I've always wanted more Yellowhammer themed concepts for Alabama based teams.

Loving this thread so far and am very excited to see where it goes! I've always love Babe the Blue Ox themed identities for teams in Minnesota and that jumper is beautiful. I also really like the skull and crossbones jumper for Tampa.

Also, a team in Edina?!? Ewwwwww Yes, the Twin Cities are one of the biggest hotbeds for women's hockey talent, but I don't think we are big enough to support two professional teams in the same league. Nobody outside of Edina would cheer for them and the difference in arenas and facilities between the X and Braemar Arena (which is great for high school and summer hockey, but not NEARLY big enough for a top tier team) would be comical. If Minnesota gets a second team in the PWHL it should be in Duluth. Amsoil Arena is state of the art and seats just under 7k which fits right in with many other PWHL arenas, plus it reaches a different fanbase by representing all of northern Minnesota. (Plus if Duluth got a team they could take the stupid "Superior" name and it would actually make sense!)

With how much of a cluster**** PWHL Minnesota has been since winning the title I wouldn't be surprised if they keep the "Superior" name that has been loathed by every single person I've talked to. The name would make sense for a team in Duluth sure, but the Twin Cities are 150 miles from Lake Superior. It just makes zero sense.

The cream and powder sets look great with the modern Twins script and would instantly be my favorite jersey the Twins use (and I'm a huge fan of their new look)

The only other names I wouldn't mind are the Whitecaps or Reign. Whitecaps because of the historical use of the name and it still works with purple & black. Reign as a play on Prince's "Purple Rain" and also for being the inaugural champs.

Not sure of having both a black and charcoal jersey that are almost identical aside from orange outline on the numbers and orange collar on the black one.
