[Neill99]

The Iowa Harvest or the Iowa Cornhuskers.

Maybe a wild animal native to the area? I googled "native Iowa animals" and came up with this. Local ties, fierce appearance, unique - what's not to like?

Classic logo options, I'd buy the jersey in a heartbeat.

The Iowa team has the same owners as the Growlers, So I'm expecting the branding to be top notch.

SAME w/ T/R as well

SAME w/ T/R as well

Yup, I'm expecting the T/R to be very much aimed at the Montreal Canadians branding. Really need to capture that fan base for it to work well there.

hope it ties back into Draveurs, tbth, the predecessor to our stint in the Q.....

Needs to be something subtle related to the history and culture of the region.

Iowa Corn Buddy Holly Corn State Fair CornFarmers Corn should handle it.

A few weeks ago I submitted Iowa/Coralville Cropdusters to their naming contest on their website. We've seen and heard worse.

Stick taps for alliteration. That's the hook I was struggling to set. Then they'd just need to mount biplane wings on their Zamboni & spray water on the ice between periods.

Maybe 210 can shine a little more light but I've been hearing that both Newfoundland and Trois Rivieres might begin their season in Manchester pending on the status of the Canadian border. It helps that its one owner to work out a deal with the arena and I'm sure Maine and Worcester wouldn't complain.

My guess is they have lots of backup plans. I truly think they will start here, Our vaccine efforts have increased dramatically lately. I don't think it will be 100% fans on opening night, but a smaller percentage. Maybe 40%. We have very strict covid-19 restrictions here in Newfoundland compared to most of Canada

Interesting. Still could be corn related

 

[JMCx4]

So @royals119 was close ... they're gonna be the Greater FOREST-Chickens.

Coralville Kraken!!

 

[JMCx4]

Coralville Kraken!!

That was the first thing that popped into my head, too, as the brief video opened. But I figgered it would have to be the "Coralville Corn Crackin' " just to satisfy the HFB crowd.

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

isn't Savannah the one with the Kraken connections?

Iowa likely is the Wild affiliation trend

"The Wild Corn" just doesn't seem like an inspirational brand.

 

[JMCx4]

The suspense is killin' me ...

Minnesota was rumored to be the affiliate when it was announced....

And that's the part of all this that has been so Corn-founding.

that's why Kraken likely has no bearing there in Coralville, they've been so tight lipped there even as the team was announced, normally wouldn't they announce by now at least the affiliation piece?

It's just one of many pieces they need to cob-ble together...
