were you around back in the original era of the logo?

The Royals haven't had a third jersey for a few years. They do so many promotional, one night jerseys that the regular two are only seen at home 10-12 times each anyway. Halloween, Christmas, St Patricks Day, Pink in the Rink, Penn State, Flyers, Paw Patrol, Autism Awareness, Scout Night, Star Wars, Marvel Superheroes, and a few more I can't think of off the top of my head. Plus they wear a different warm-up jersey every month and auction those off too, and they wear the last set of warm-ups for the last game and give them away to STH's.

Yes. I'm not going to mention my ACTUAL age, but I was around back then. The BCA(or the War Memorial)used to, if memory serves, display the logos of the teams that the AHL had at the time. I did go to an Amerk game or two when I was a kid. (I've gone to a few more since.)

I have family in Maine, I'll be sure to check out a game when I'm up there during the season. Miss growing up with the Portland Pirates when I lived there briefly as a kid!

This may be of some interest here. Surprised they didn't trademark it when they were brainstorming all of the names.

Note: Portland Hockey, LLC owns the Mariners trademark, not the league as they do for just about all of the former and present franchises.
