I mean the 19/20 set is a decent enough and an upgrade of their current set but they don’t represent the club identity nearly as well as these beauties. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrysleraspen08 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 London Knights just unveiled their new uniforms: While I do like the use of the old Late 80's-Early 90's template, it just looks really out of place with the 2000's logo. I'm sure it'll grow on me and I'll have a different opinion in a couple of months. Right now though, I don't love it, but I don't hate it either. 2 Quote Sporting Venue Count (for games): OHL: 19 (28 Total)- 770 games (after 18-19), MLB: 13 (15 Total), NHL: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Clark Rasmussen of DetroitHockey.Net, the two names trademarked were Palm Springs Hawks and Palm Springs Eagles. Both were filed […] Read More... Hawks and Eagles??? Please no.

Burmy Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I'm still bummed that the Idaho Steelheads got snubbed...they are a TRULY GREAT organization with proven support and deserve to make the jump up! Oh well, at least the bidding process may have given them some buzz as a possible relocation destination. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like Edmonton and Calgary, I think Seattle ultimately chose to put their farm team in Southern California because it places their prospects near a major hub (LAX) and close to their divisional opponents for call-ups on the road. That being said, I agree it's a shame. Maybe in a few more years...we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4One Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Vancouver Canucks ECHL affiliate, Kalamazoo Wings pay homage to parent club with new alternate jersey. It was a fan design and won in a fan vote. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurdBranding Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Wow, I participated in the voting on this in the early stages and I wouldn’t have put that in my top 5, I think. Overall, not a bad look but not to my taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Quote Our HC logo ties in traditional logos of old hockey clubs, especially in Europe, with elements of our primary logo which we refer to as our shield logo. The shield is a very common shape in hockey club logos, and the alternating grey and white resembles the same in our shield logo. The jet also is the exact jet you see in our shield logo.

chrysleraspen08 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 The Barrie Colts are currently selling these in their team store. While there's nothing yet saying that they're wearing them during the season, judging by the quality of this jersey (stitched crest, CCM tag, etc.) I'd say it's more likely than not. Also, the Sarnia Sting just tweeted this teaser for a new jersey: Quote Sporting Venue Count (for games): OHL: 19 (28 Total)- 770 games (after 18-19), MLB: 13 (15 Total), NHL: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrysleraspen08 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 The Sarnia Sting jerseys have been unveiled. I wish they would've used a logo as a shoulder patch instead of the wordmark. Still a huge upgrade for them.

Bingo! While a Boise-based American Hockey League affiliate would have been more conveniently located in relation to its NHL Seattle parent-club, its distance from the markets of other AHL Pacific Division opponents would have been significant in terms of the time and expense necessary to travel to them for games.

B-mer Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 So the Sting release shows two different CCM treatments on the back. Not sure if this was seen or known. Looks a lot better without the weird stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrysleraspen08 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 The Ottawa 67's changed up the numbers on the new quicklite jerseys. They are bolder and now on the shoulder.

The Canucks have extended their AHL deal with Utica: https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/canucks-utica-comets-contract They have opt out options in the deal. If they were to opt out of the deal to move a team closer to home, would think Boise would be farther down the list. Canucks ownership acknowledged putting a team back in Abbotsford as an option or even in Vancouver at Pacific Coliseum. Have a feeling if they could make it work financially, Abbotsford really would be the most ideal place as there is already a base of Canucks fans there: https://www.abbynews.com/municipal-election/canucks-owner-says-abbotsford-one-option-for-farm-team/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4One Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Kinda weird the Canucks would consider putting their farm team in the Pacific Coliseum instead of the building they already own. Why pay rent when you don't need to? The Leafs don't own the Coca-Cola Coliseum where the Marlies play, but they do run it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owner of the Steelheads and the staff think they've found a model that works there. Increasing ticket prices to support an AHL team likely wouldn't fly. Also, from what I've seen/heard, the owner wasn't too keen on turning over hockey ops, if not all ops, to Seattle.
