Meep Meep! Nice to have a new divisional rival. Welcome to the Pacific!

That logo is hideous. It looks like pixel art.

Looks like either one of the old Phoenix WHA logos or something from their previous minor league teams.

It's almost an exact lift of previous Phoenix Roadrunner logos.

I thought it looked familiar.

My brother moved to the Tucson area last year. Maybe I will go to a game if the Admirals play out there!

By the numbers.

This is the seventh pro team from Arizona to call themselves the Roadrunners.

This is the first Arizona based Roadrunners team not to be billed from Phoenix.

No AHL team has ever been called the Phoenix Roadrunners.

This is the third AHL team to carry the Roadrunners name after the Toronto and Edmonton Roadrunners.

Santa Fe and Topeka had teams called the Roadrunners too.

Arizona has an interesting history of minor league professional hockey.

Love the name, iffy on the logos.

The roadrunner in the logo is derived from the WHA roadrunner logo, but made "less edgy" than the IHL/ECHL update at the specific request of Arizona Coyotes majority owner Andrew Barroway.

For reference:

Original:

IHL/ECHL:

Hmm. I swore the IHL team used the old standard Phoenix Roadrunners logo but with the red feathers. The ECHL team definitely used the crappy yellow beak one like above.

The other random thing I don't like about the ECHL and the new Tucson one is the proportions. The old logo had the sort of cartoon bird shaped body. The Tucson and ECHL logos look like human bodies with a Roadunner head. I like the Tucson version a lot better than the ECHL version though.

This is the one.

Good name, though you'd think that they'd find a way to make a fairly simple, cartoony logo better, not worse.

 

[BigMac1212]

Here's the IHL logo:

The Tucson franchise could of done a better job recreating the logo. But hopefully, I'm just the minority.

Coyotes and Roadrunners, what a fitting combo that matches the Looney Tunes cartoons, awesome, I like it!

WARNING! The following post is a fan project, not an official statement by the Coyotes or the Tucson Roadrunners. I don't want people thinking the City of Tucson was building a new arena when they are not.

I drew a fan arena seating chart for the Tucson Roadrunners. Basically it's similar to PPL Center in Allentown, PA, if the upper deck was extended all the way. But be warned: I don't draw well, and the picture is pretty crappy, and that's putting it kindly. Viewer discretion is advised.

It's been almost a month and they still haven't bothered to give the team an actual website yet.

You color good.

Well, I color better than I can draw, I can admit that.

Do they play pickelball? It seems to be a big deal in my brother's neighborhood.

Middle of August.

NO official website whatsoever!

There isn't a real way to get season tickets, and there's no information about the team that is available.

Getting the web hosts from Maine to Tucson must be harder than we thought.

From Springfield. The Falcons moved to Arizona, not the Pirates.
