The_Admiral Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 A while ago, there was a thread about the St. Mike's Majors possibly moving out of Toronto. I figured St. Catharines could be a possible destination, since they have an OHL-level arena in town, and the Niagara region isn't represented in the OHL, as far as I know, and the name of the city is kinda cool. I don't really know enough about the city to come up with a location-relevant logo or name, so I just went conservative and used "St. Catharines Greens." It's moderately location-relevant, since it's the Garden City, and "Gardeners" hardly strikes fear in the hearts of men. I figured the OHL needed more letter-crests, so I basically ended up with some bastard child of the Cardinals, A's, and 1910s White Sox. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TML-GBP 4 Life Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Not bad, But actually the St. Michaels Majors are going move into the Hershey Centre in Mississauga, after Eugene Melnyk (Guy who owns the Majors, and NHL Senators... thus a major loser!!!) bought the Mississauga Ice Dogs and plans to move them out of the city so he can move the Majors in because they don't have a decent arena. It'll be the Ice Dogs organization who move so they might keep the name...who knows.In my opinion this is the end for OHL in Mississauga, cause I don't see people in Mississauga cheering for the Majors, a team they've been rivals with for the last number of years and just abandon OUR team. Plus nobody wants to root for anything to do with Melnyk and the Sens, since Mississauga is a got a massive Leafs fanbase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steiny_ramone Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 No offense, but I think we could do better than "the Greens". It's an original name, for sure, I just don't think it's that great of a name for a hockey team. The jerseys and logos are very good, though. I wouldn't be dissapointed if a local team wore jerseys like these. facespace?http://www.myspace.com/seancalcottmusic http://www.myspace.com/forgottentoys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capn89 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 They're good, but it seems (to me at least) like the blue just comes out of nowhere, I really don't like it added to the jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 You know what, you're absolutely right. I really forced the blue in there because the city's flag is green and blue. It really ought to be grey or black, or not there at all. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gueman Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Ok. But there is an optical illusion with the bottom of the S and the circle. It makes the circle look odd.

steiny_ramone Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Hmm. The more I look at it the less I like the blue. How about black? facespace?http://www.myspace.com/seancalcottmusic http://www.myspace.com/forgottentoys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope Melnyk DOES NOT find a suitable owner by the end of the year so the Ice Dogs can stay for the 2007-2008 season and I hope other people in Mississauga would voice their disapproval in the stands this season.http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Hockey/Junior/20...792508-sun.html I saw, I came, I left.

The_Admiral Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 I changed the blue to black. I think this fits in better. The blue just clashed too much in my strain to put small local elements in the sweater.I agree that maybe "Greens" isn't the best possible name in the world, but I thought something more traditional and simple would be a refreshing change of pace from words ending in Z or singular nouns with cartoony mascots. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steiny_ramone Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 The black looks much better IMO. And I can respect that you picked the name for it's traditional qualities. There are plenty worse names out there for sure. facespace?http://www.myspace.com/seancalcottmusic http://www.myspace.com/forgottentoys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 I never really believed in the blue. For reference, here's the city seal.My chosen shades of green don't even match the seal's, so I didn't really have an obligation to plug the blue in there. It was kind of jarring. The black fits in better. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 Okay:I took out the silver-green to simplify things. I think it's a cool color combo, but reminds me of the 1980s Whalers, and the crest loses something without the metallic tone. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steiny_ramone Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 If the Garden City had an OHL team I would buy one of those so fast.Very nice. facespace?http://www.myspace.com/seancalcottmusic http://www.myspace.com/forgottentoys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
