AHL/ECHL/Minor/Junior League Hockey Changes

I don't get the whole Sherbrooke Phoenix identity. It's not French; a Phoenix could be anywhere. Was Castors completely off the table as an option? 

♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫

I don't understand why Kootenay went with greyscale on the dark jerseys, it looks really bad.


Agreed,  I know they just rebranded a couple years ago but really disappointing that they essentially did nothing to the identity for this big move.  To have the moniker "Ice" but use dull grey everywhere instead of a bright, icy white seems odd...the whole look is dark and muted and lacks contrast.  And the jersey design with the piping and tiny hem striping looks bad and dated.

 

Consider Sherbrooke right above getting rid of the cream for just a straight white - I think it makes everything pop more.  The Sherbrooke colorway is actually more would I would think the Ice would fit.

 

Oh well, maybe it'll be like the Rams where they will adjust the look a year or two into their Winnipeg residency.

I don't know if this means much of anything but, on the QMJHL's official website, the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies have a new official logo. Perhaps they'll have new sweaters too?

The only other team to change their "official" logo on the QMJHL's official website are the Shebrooke Phœnix.

Keeping the white under the eyes is a little odd with the all silver logo. They’ve used an all white mask logo in the past for marketing where the under eye was the same colour as the mask.

 

The white under the eyes makes him look tired.

Not every team that plays in Quebec has to be ramming Francophonia down your throat.

Slight modifications to the Sagueneens jersey

 

New collar with big blank white square (?!?!)

Stripes at the bottom are larger and higher than before

No white shoulder yoke

I'll never understand the CHL's fascination with having the CCM logo on the chest and the back of the uniform as well as having the league logo as big as it is. Leads to ridiculousness like the Captain's C above and this:

These vertical stripes definitely have to go...

Easily an upgrade but it seems a little too busy to me. 

Agreed, there are some things that could be improved. Although, when it's such a significant upgrade, that almost feels like looking a gift horse in the mouth.
