monkeypower Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Got to add maple leaves in the logo to show they're a Canadian team... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilSox Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 For sure... it's one thing for a team like the Toronto Blue Jays to have a leaf as part of their identity. But a junior team in a league that's more or less localized to a single Canadian province? Seems a bit redundant. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridleylash Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Evidently someone decided that the AHL needed another "B-major club", because the Sound Tigers are now the Bridgeport Islanders; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm trying to wonder what a Sound Tiger is supposed to be. Also, love to see a team not playing on an island called the Islanders. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VDizzle12 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Probably one of the laziest logos and most uninspired identities ever created. EDIT: Actually the Belleville Senators, Iowa Wild and Ontario Reign are up there too. Man I never realized the AHL was this bad. I'm never going to complain about minor league baseball branding again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridgeport, CT is located on the Long Island Sound, so that's where Sound came from in the name. The new identity is awful -- I didn't particularly like the old name or logo (although I have a uniform from when they were blue/yellow/black in my closet) but at least it had character.

Ridleylash Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 And it's confirmed, the Sound Tigers are now the Bridgeport Islanders with the leaked logo; I am thoroughly unpleased with this; not only is it just not a great logo, but it's replacing a unique minor-league identity with yet another goddamned "baby *major club*" team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynasty Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 As much backlash from a certain franchise they would get, I think Sounders would've been great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 A bland and poorly rendered logo appropriately paired with a derivative and ill-fitting name. "Meh" sports branding at its most middling-to-subpar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
