newsenterprise Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 I can see why major league/minor league baseball logos may look the same because their affiliated. And I guess that works in hockey, too (Reading Royals, Manchester Monarchs).But this one (and I apologize if it has been posted before and if so, some moderator immediately kill this thread) I don't get.So for my first teams separated at birth, I present:The NBA's Atlanta Falcons (left) and the AIFL's Johnstown Riverhawks (right):
CMUBrent Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Ladies and Gentlemen, the Clinton Lumber Kings (Midwest League) logo......Which looks like the forgettable Saginaw Lumber Kings (Colonial/United Hockey League) logo:

MonkeyWrench32 Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 No, the Lumber Kings became the Gears for 1½ years and then the team was moved to Canton, OH for a half of a season. Then the team folded after a year or two of hiatus and a couple of name changes (Arctic Xpress and the Canton Ice Patrol, which had the worst logo in the history of logos).Now Saginaw has the OHL Spirit and I couldn't be happier. Well, I could if they could win some more.
newsenterprise Posted March 2, 2005 Author Posted March 2, 2005 MonkeyWrench32,Thanks for the corrected info and the history.Do you know if the Saginaw Lumberjacks ever played?
MonkeyWrench32 Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 The only Lumberjacks in Saginaw that I know of or have ever heard of are the Arthur Hill High School Lumberjacks (and yes, they do have a hockey team).
