You could opt to revive the WHA's Cleveland Crusaders name and go with a logo and color scheme inspired by their identity package: As for a Denver-based team's identity, I'd suggest Denver Spurs or Colorado Cutthroats.

Bomba Tomba Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 On the home, make the end of the sleeves and the bottom part of the sweater orange, then make the thin orange stripes dark blue? Or would that mess up the color balance? If you read on the card you'll be cheating on your heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian in Boston Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 You know, the more I think about it, I don't know that I'd just dismiss the Cleveland Barons identity without careful consideration. While the NHL Barons' two seasons of play were undoubtedly a let-down, that's in large part due to the fact that the minor league Barons had been a tremendous success. Over 35 seasons - three in the International-American Hockey League, 32 in the American Hockey League - the Barons played sub-.500 hockey just eight times, compiling an overall regular-season record of 1158-901-238 en route to 31 playoff appearances. In the post-season, the minor league Barons advanced to the championship series 13 times and won the title on nine occasions. Furthermore, your alternate universe NHL Barons would be taking the place of the team that was the "disaster", wouldn't they? (Of course, in your alternate universe it may well have been the I-AHL/AHL Barons that were the disaster. Oh, my head.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Barons was always a solid name, wish the AHL team still had it, but I can't stand the Mr. Peanut logo. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, while fine for the 1930s era in which the team made its debut - possibly acceptable into the mid-'40s - it isn't a logo that stands the test of time. As for the NHL Barons logo, that was no sterling benchmark of sports logo design either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomba Tomba Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Either teal primary and purple secondary like I said last page, or black primary and red secondary. Edit: Or what the Cavs use now.

Personally, I think this identity would be better served by a palette of either purple, black, grey and white, or red, black, grey and white. Depending upon the palette chosen, I'd go with either purple or red for the majority of the top hat (left side of crown and brim), black for the remainder of the hat (right side of crown and outline), and grey for the band. Whichever color was chosen for the majority of the top hat (purple or red) would also be used for the lapel of the coat. The flesh tone shown here would be used for the Baron's face, with both the eyebrows and hair rendered in black. The eye, teeth and shirt collar would remain white, as would the outermost key line. The monocle - colored grey - might be served by some highlights, in white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
