This feels weird and almost patronizing to me. Yeah, this is somewhat unusual. A Checkers jersey in Panthers colors would have been a better alternative. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if there would be desire to deal with the travel and add a border crossing to the league for one team. The closest WHL team to Billings would be 6.5 hours away.

monkeypower Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I saw this a while back but forgot about posting it. In a reply, he says the jerseys were intended to look like the updated version from the beginning but doesn't state a reason why they didn't look like that last season. The mascot version and the replica jerseys used the now-current NOB and numbers which I thought was a mistake (due the thirds not being unveiled until late in the season and CSEC burning off old stock as the Hitmen have used this NOB and number style for one-offs in recent years) but it turns out the on-ice version was apparently in the wrong. I do think they missed the opportunity to use the classic Hitmen font though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, Athens Rock Lobsters is a much better identity than either Athens Orange Crush or Athens Shiny Happy People. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog519 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 (edited) The Guelph Storm have trademarked 3 new logos Edited May 22 by officeglenn Embedded tweet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Design-wise, that looks pretty solid, but it really needs some color. I hope this isn't implying that they're scrapping the dark red, though it could just simply be uncolored for the purpose of trademarking the designs (if that's a thing). EDIT: I guess it is a thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illini1 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 New ECHL team in Bloomington, IL for the 2024-2025 season. The Bloomington Bison will be affiliated with the New York Rangers. I can’t figure out how to post pictures of the logo. I don’t believe sweaters have been unveiled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Should have just revived the old Prairie Thunder identity wholesale, if this is the route they wanted to take. Though there is a nod to it with the little thunderbolt on the bison's cheek. It's Abe Lincoln's hat, which is for Springfield, over an hour away. It's done in Chicago colors, over two hours away. The US Highway shield is presumably for Route 66, which congratulations, does actually go through BloNo. Shove the whole state in the periphery just in case. That's a whole lot of mess with very little payoff. They could have just done the cartoon bison sans hat in the shield and be far better off.

The_Admiral Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Of the downstate Illinois towns, BloNo is probably the least woebegone. There are signs of life present that aren't there in Peoria or Springfield, and certainly aren't there in Rockford or the Quad Cities. At its best, it feels like Cornfield Madison, right down to the big-box stores and Good Place To Raise A Family neighborhoods on the periphery. I used to drive three hours to go to drum corps shows there and didn't entirely mind. The hockey logo is a complete mess. The star on Illinois tucked into some empty space on a shield with a bison on it, awful. Missed opportunity not being the Bloomington Normies with a pumpkin spice latte wearing a weathered baseball cap as a logo. It would suck, but less than this.

I would assume a new 3rd jersey that they wish to sell merchandise for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
