Honestly like the Portland Winterhawks new logo. I understand there was probably other reasons behind the change, but it's nice that the team represents their city more. When I first got into the CHL I thought that they must be affiliated with the Blackhawks somehow, so ending that confusion is helpful - at least to outsiders like me. It's a little generic, but the call-back to the feathers in the old logo's hair, and mountains on the bottom half are unique enough for me.

I know this is icing on the cake for what we all know and I'm not some reporter, but at ArtCraft Sports today (the Coyotes official customizer) I was flat out told they'll be using a white kachina next season and shown the maroon numbers that had just been cut. Interestingly she told me that they'll be keeping the red howling head as their alternate, so it won't be going away completely, similar to what the Flames did last year.

Taking a closer look at the Coyotes cap -- Difficult to tell, but looks like they might've done away with green

 

I think I see green on the pants and bellow the brick red on the cap stripe. Anyways, I'm glad that it's actually happening!!

Glad to know I'm not crazy. Spotted this when I was at GilaRiver a couple days ago on one of their official trucks and had to take a picture because I didn't remember the Kachina with the new Arizona wordmark, but I guess this is old news haha.

Disappointing... while not a great name Sound Tigers was certainly unique. Re-naming them the Islanders is especially bad since Bridgeport isn't an Island; the logo didn't look inspired either.

I was scrolling through the Jags roster back in December and saw their CB Quenton Meeks was listed as #5. I'm sure he was just on the sidelines and not seeing in-game action but is this an example of a modern player who was allowed an out of position number? Foreshadowing months ago that the Chiefs new rule will pass?

I think the Jets new uniforms have actually really grown on me. Besides the status quo logo change and BFBS (that I can live with), I think it's an upgrade over the butchered Namath-shoulders and ugly shade of green...

I'm not really a fan of the name Hammers either, I think alliteration would be good for Pittsburgh like the Pirates and Penguins. Patrollers and Pounders aren't the best and sound a little Arena Football-y but those are really the only jobs (due to Pittsburgh being blue collar) I could think of that sound agressive enough. Anyone up for the Pittsburgh Piano Tuners?!?

Great series so far! 

Controversial Pick: Eliminates the unnecessary piping, gives them back a classic hem stripe, and keeps the wordmark look similar to what they won the Stanley Cup in since it seems they're reluctant to create a Weagle set.

I love the Jets heritage jerseys in navy, just wish that their C's would have a white outline on the home and their away would be blue with a red outine. Finally, I agree that "It should always be Christmas in New Jersey" and the Kachina gets a white counterpart.

Not really that happy about the name, but at least the valley will have sports since the Palm Springs Angels left. Really liked Cody Chretien's idea but it might've been confusing since we're not affiliated with Arizona and their Kachina.

The EE is a lot clearer now. Looks good!

Looking really forward to this series! Love almost every part of this redesign, just not sold yet on the offset numbers. Anyways, keep it up because I know it will be great just like all your other concepts!
