The footprint thing is why I do not think it will be Yeti.
I suspect it will be Venom themed. Someone mentioned BUZZ to continue with the ZZ sound. That has some merit too.

I don’t think the avalanche have used that logo in years.
And it ever made sense for them anyway. They also need a rebrand. Their logo has always sucked.
The new one is really good. The Colorado Rocky Mountain thingy with the C.

Just double checked. It’s been almost a decade since Colorado used the dumb foot.
Been a decade since they have.
Me too. But I think it’s happening g.

But then you are just copying the Kraken wholesale in their approach. Which isn't very original.
I think you mean the Himalayas. Both are probably the same creature and honestly given what we know about the migration of peoples across the Bering Straight the legend likely followed the migration of peoples from Eastern Eurasia into Alaska, Northern Canada and down on through the Pacific Northwest.
The logo is too big on all of them (an ai trait apparently) but #3 is pretty sweet. Need to see the away version.

Also doing a good job isn’t copying. Solid execution is solid execution. Doesn’t make it unoriginal.
Love the name/idea - however the PC crowd would likely have a fit with anything relating to native people.

Depends on how you brand it. My local WHL team is called the Warriors and we turned it into more of a modern air force Snowbirds kinda thing. Which are stationed at the local air force base.

Moose jaw has an awesome brand when it was a chief ina headdress. The little model airplane thing is lame. Big downgrade. They looked awsome before.

Disagree the chief in a headdress has been done 1000 million times. It was dated, bland and boring. The Snowbirds actually have some local connection to the people here. Obviously people not from the area won't get it but that's fine.
The problem is there aren't really any at the pro level. Most teams tend to ground their logos in the real.

That brand was degraded so badly. They use a goofy cartoon moose too. Embarrassing.
Love the team though. I watched them a ton last season and the season before to get looks at Mateychuk and Yager. Until this season their home broadcasts were basically unwatchable though. So I mostly watched road games. It seems they improved the production quality this year. And added Savoie which is cool.
It’s because it’s for babies.
Inside look into Bucks' logo redesign
How did the Bucks settle on their new look? Paul Lukas gives a behind-the-scenes look at how Milwaukee's redesign was created.
Interesting article on D&C's first big gig
Mateychuk actually lives across the street from me, or his billets do anyways. Nice kid.
You have to remember that Junior hockey is primarily targeted at bringing in parents with their kids at least in most places. So you want a logo that kids can attach themselves to and a mascot that isn't to ridiculous but fun.
The NHL is more marketing towards the middle age crowd so it needs to be badass, timeless and eye popping or it won't really be all that well received. The Krakens logo is pretty minimal but also quite boring. A big S? Cool. I agree not much else out there that I saw in mock ups looked all that great but that's because everyone else was going with the same minimalist approach with a big tentacle S or some variation of it.

Well then we need to just push the Utah Phoenix as much as we can. Even though that one is a mythological creature as well. But at least it's an easy logo to work with.

It will be interesting, because basketball jerseys rarely have a logo on their uniforms , and if they did, it would have to be simple .. I think if they are going to campaign and get feedback from the public .. they may want logos and designs to be similar to NHL and hockey teams .. With the Coyotes having the best logo and jersey, the new owner may want something that rivals it
But who knows?
Imo this is why you avoid named like Yetis. You can be as sleek and modern and serious as you want but you ultimately picked a campy bush league name and you can't avoid the reality of it being campy and bush league forever
Yeah I'm more of a fan of a name that evokes some local tradition or cultural iconography that can be both visually appealing but also appropriate. Like honestly Seattle Sasquatch, while still campy, had a much more local appeal to me anyways having lived in the PNW for a time. Also had alliteration going for it. Plus you could tie into local Native American artwork getting local artists to do some cool interpretations of legends that origination from within their cultures.
But that ship has sailed. I wonder if they should just go for it and take on the Utah Raptors name. It's honestly the best thing out there right now. Could they face any legal issues with it?
