Reaper Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 oil kings?that's annoying.I'm not sure if you're joking but the name "Oil Kings" has been used by many top level junior hockey teams in Edmonton since the 1950's with the last one being in the WHL in 1978-79.

Since then, they have readopted the team name and the history. I hope the Oil Kings do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrfab Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I'm STILL sticking with my own "Edmonton Frozen Pierogi" write in choice but IF ya had to go with "Biodegradeble Renewable Energy Kings" or somesuch, reviving their 60's logo scheme's a good move. This recently Proud Again American cannot wait to see the Erl Kingz' uni's. What I'm seeing w/their logo so far is VERY cool 60's/70's retromod minor and junior league designs & colors, and I mean that in the BESTEST hockey jersey sense. GO Oil Kings! "Pierogi Power!" "Pierogi For Health!" "The Amazing Fabwell... Knows All... SEES All... Tells NOTHING!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendan Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Brutal. You can keep tradition and yet do a good job updating it.i agree the logo look like the la kings first logo. that isnt even a kings crown its a queens crown. the logo also has nothing to do with oil except the small drop. i also think its a horrible name there is already a team called the wheat kings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fonts in particular make the logo look extremely dated. They could have changed the font to a more modern type, and outlined the crown to make it look a bit more remarkable.
