Howie_16 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I wouldn't include the Calgary Hitmen on the list of good team names. I get why they called them the Hitmen, but professional wrestling is stupid! So many better choices in our city's hockey history. Really wish they had gone with Calgary Wranglers, Calgary Cowboys or Calgary Chinooks. Hell, even calling them the Calgary Junior Flames would be a major improvement.You think pro wrestling is stupid, plenty disagree. Plenty would agree as well.I actually overlooked a great 'Dub identity. How could I have forgotten the Regina Pats?!The Regina Pats are the oldest major junior hockey franchise in the world that have continuously operated from their original location and use the same name. They began operations in 1917. They were originally named the Patricias, after Princess Patricia of Connaught, the granddaughter of Queen Victoria and daughter of the Governor General (the Duke of Connaught). The team name was also associated with Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, to the point that Pats sweaters still bear the regimental crest as a shoulder patch.

In fact a gentleman that I work with (he's past retirement age but stuck around) tells me stories all the time about being a kid. The boys who went to public school would sneak the St. Mike's boy's out at night and they'd all go hang out. The list of names he has mentioned, just famous Leafs alone, is mind blowing.As for the discussion about the Hitmen's name. Bret Hart was a founding owner (not sure if he owns any of the team anymore) so it at least makes a little bit of sense. Part of what I like about major junior hockey is most of the team's names are all based off of something local......except my hometown Battalion. I still don't get who thought that was a good name for a team from Brampton.

frontsfan93 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 It might not be the best local name but brampton has one of the best identities in all of hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash61 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 It might not be the best local name but brampton has one of the best identities in all of hockey, if you don't look at the logo.FYP.If Brampton had beat Kitchener to the punch and used that soldier logo, your original statement would be true.> On September 20, 2012 at 0:50 AM, 'CS85 said: It's like watching the hellish undead creakily shuffling their way out of the flames of a liposuction clinic dumpster fire.

Brian in Boston Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 The Mississauga Steelheads have unveiled their new primary logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 The maple leaf is a nice touch. It really reminds you that Mississauga is in Canada, which is important when you play in a league that's almost exclusively in Canada.That's a terrible logo. The fish is ugly and overly detailed, it reads "Steelheads Mississauga," and the distortion on "Mississauga" is really irritating. It should either be straight across or going the same way as "Steelheads." ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash61 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 It adds a much needed touch of blue to a red-heavy league.

BigBubba Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 The face looks incredibly awkward and I hate how the left part kind of "tails" off into nothing. Also, am I the only one who sees palm tree leaves in the scale pattern?I also hate when logos put emphasis on the first and last letters (STEELHEADS). Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenfish13 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I agree with everyone that the wordmark has much left to be desired, but the fish is honestly pretty sweet. A little over-detailed, but it's a solid rendering and has a lot of movement to it.It could be much worse. Some sort of hint? Any chance you were in on this? dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrysleraspen08 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Did anybody else notice what I just noticed? They stole the font in Steelheads from Schneiders foods.I think it's a little too similar.
