In reply to Joe Strummer. Really? And then who would Albany get anyways?

Rumour is that the Albany Devils will move to Glen Falls, so they shouldn’t be out of the AHL at all. Good chance same year the Phantoms leave the Devils will set up shop

In reply to Bill. I hardly see how we "failed." Just 100-200 season tickets or so away from their goal hardly seems like failure. Also, smaller market teams do worse here, the UHLs Ice Hawks/Frostbite fared worse than the Phantoms ever did, if I remember correctly.

In reply to Bill. I did hear that the Phantoms time in Glen Falls was going to be temporary regardless and they might a team once the Phantoms leave town.

In reply to Aaron. Don't count on Glen Falls to get another team this was there chance to prove that they could support a AHL team and they failed. The area would do better with a ECHL team more than a AHL team

booooo gradients. and i get that the logo is meant to mimic the flyers logo a little but something much cooler could be done with the name “phantoms”

Lehigh Valley sounds like a high school team. I’ve never been impressed with the Phantoms branding anyway, but now, it just feels like this team doesn’t even belong in the AHL.

The fonts are horrible I’d actually prefer the old over the new but not by much. Idk what the deal is with the orange “glowing” background. Looks like a designer just threw that in there last minute. So unnecessary and bring back the purple, blue is just too mainstream and doesn’t fit this team imo.

Makeover time: new logo, new wordmark please! And keep the purple, it is more spooky than the blue.

At least the Phantoms are back in Penn, but the purple needs to stay. In fact, the purple should be more obvious on the jerseys and possibly the logo. I don’t feel this will interfere with NY sports teams colours because the purple/blue is not that evident. I’m glad they kepts the logo, but like everyone else, the fonts have never been that great.

Question is, what team will Glen Falls, NY receive once this move happens?

By: Aaron

Aaron — Fri, 16 Nov 2012 17:59:31 +0000

As long as there’s black and orange as the dominant colours, the blue accent wouldn’t neccesarily resemble New York teams too much. But yeah, keeping the purple would be a better move.

Good logo, terrible word marks (both old and new)

I thought the logo always stunk.
