Soundwave721 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 What are some minor league or non Big 4 league looks/identities that you feel are so good, you'd say they are big league quality?Here are some of my picks.Hershey BearsReno AcesNew Orleans VoodooRochester Americans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluggerplugger1 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Those are all great looks! If Hershey dropped those thin side stripes, it'd be close to perfect IMO. Also, I dig New Orleans' logo, but their uniforms could use a change.I'll throw some out there:San Jose SaberCatsTheir white jersey is just beautiful. The green and gold really work well together, especially on their road set.*shameless homer pick*Minnesota United FCHere's a team that I hope brings their current look to MLS when they come up in a few years! I really enjoyed their rebrand in 2013 and think it would be one of the sharpest in MLS if they are able to retain all aspects of their identity with the move.

twi Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I agree completely with the AHL Bears and Americans. Solid looks, nothing gimmicky, and they stand on their own, not borrowing anything substantial from their NHL affiliates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 *shameless homer pick* Minnesota United FC Here's a team that I hope brings their current look to MLS when they come up in a few years! I really enjoyed their rebrand in 2013 and think it would be one of the sharpest in MLS if they are able to retain all aspects of their identity with the move. I'm still wondering if the MLS will allow two "United" teams - D.C. and possibly Minnesota. No one seems to be mentioning that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJ Sands Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I always thought the Laredo Bucks had an NHL-worthy identity. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/fr/5/5b/Laredo_Bucks_CHL.gif http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sbXvV1EbI3U/SbbusNxRwtI/AAAAAAAAEJU/4z-OHwVMFjg/s800/031009.Bees_HK_Laredo.gh.007.jpg http://www.sportslogos.net/logos/view/7mo2jurqg9xe5xhuhw3xuqoev/Laredo_Bucks/2010/Home_Uniform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tBBP Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Why would that even be a problem, though? The league already has two "Cit (ies)"--New York and Orlando. So what if there's a second "United"?Also...being that this is the first time I've seen those MNU kits...if MLS let's them in like that they'll instantly challenge for best-looking side. Those things are great. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG30 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Some more looks at the Amerks...I find them one of the best looks in all of hockey.I personally LOVE the red jersey/blue pants, while the blue on blue isn't terrible, and the white just looks classy.They have a youth organization that dresses nearly the exact same that frequently plays my younger cousin's team. They're some of the sharpest looking kids on the ice.Not to say its good or I like it, but the Toyota patch doesn't even look horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nash61 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Screw the Nordiques. If Quebec City needs an identity for hockey, look no further that the Citadelles.Also, the Manitoba Moose: On September 20, 2012 at 0:50 AM, 'CS85 said: It's like watching the hellish undead creakily shuffling their way out of the flames of a liposuction clinic dumpster fire. On February 19, 2012 at 9:30 AM, 'pianoknight said: Story B: Red Wings go undefeated and score 100 goals in every game. They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

RoughRiders99 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Since their uniforms are almost the exactly same as the Chicago Cubs, then their look is MLB-worthy to me, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I immediately assumed MN would have to change to something other than United but probably keep most of the elements of their crest.I hope not; as many have already stated, it shouldn't be a big deal to have two "United" clubs in MLS. However, I could definitely see that being the case. When the club was going through tough times (Minnesota Thunder folded after nearly 20 years of operation in 2009, then the NSC Minnesota Stars (league-owned, named after the National Sports Center stadium) were around for 2 years, then renamed Minnesota Stars FC for a year before the United rebrand), it was hard to get used to any identity because of the clear instability.When Bill McGuire bought the franchise, a lot of people scoffed at the "United FC" name (some suggested this was done because he was the CEO of UnitedHealthGroup), but other than that, it's been a home run logo/uni set. I have been thinking, though: if they do change their name, what would it be? I for one would hope they could keep some semblance of their crest and simply change to Minnesota Loons FC/SC or something similar. However, I hope everything remains unchanged for the move up to MLS.*sorry for all the parenthetical asides. got a bit history-lesson-ish on accident, lol.FWIW, I always thought the Minnesota Thunder had a great, stereotypical 00's look: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
