Nailed It: The Story Behind the Wheeling Nailers
Even before you know the story behind it, the logo for the Wheeling Nailers, ECHL affiliate of the nearby Pittsburgh Penguins, works. It’s intimidating in a kick-ass, horror movie sort of way, and it’s certainly one of the more menacing logos in minor league sports. But there’s much more to this
Utah Grizzlies Honour Military Without Resorting to Camouflage
There’s a conundrum for sports fans who love their countries and who genuinely want to honour the military personnel who sacrifice so much for us, but who realize that most military appreciation sports uniforms—the ones of the camouflage variety—are terrible. If you point out that camo-print sports uniforms intended to
Flint OHL Team Named Firebirds, Unveil Logos
Sorry, they won’t be the Flint Stones, not the Tropics either. They won’t even be taking the loveable name Whalers with them from Plymouth. Flint, your new OHL team will be called the Flint Firebirds. Nice dig, Rob Lizotte. https://t.co/XFxhSFRl3u — Adam Biggers (@AdamBiggers81) March 16, 2015 Thanks to a
The Great 2015 Minor League Hockey Market Shuffle
Well. That was something. A flurry of hockey franchise swaps were announced yesterday involving four cities across two leagues, and when the dust was all settled Winnipeg ended up with another team and the tiny town of Belleville, Ontario was losing their junior team of over 30 years in a complete blindside.

New AHL Club Stockton Heat Unveil Name, Logo, Uniforms

Just a season removed from relocating the AHL’s Abbotsford Heat to Glens Falls, NY where they were re-named the Adirondack Flames, the Flames are shuffling their top farm club once again, and I sure am gonna miss their Atlanta throwback logo.
Sabres Confirm: Yellow Alts Are History
Another Sabres uniform bites the dust. Buffalo Sabres president Ted Black confirmed the oft-criticized (and rightly so) half-yellow/half-blue alternate uniforms will be eliminated following the current 2014-15 season. Black originally made the comments this morning on Buffalo radio station WGR, later posted by Buffalo News reporter Mike Harrington. From Harrington’s post: Black
G Love: The Story Behind the Gwinnett Gladiators

San Jose Sharks Celebrating 25 Years in 2016

U.S. Historical Figures on Sports Logos
The Frisco RoughRiders are expected to unveil a logo and uniform set later today which will be heavily influenced by the image of former US President Teddy Roosevelt. Roosevelt led a division of the army known as the “Rough Riders” prior to assuming the presidency following the assassination of William
The Future is Here: Tampa Bay Goalie Mask Glows in the Dark
Everyone who has ever seen the Back to the Future trilogy knows that the future starts in 2015, so why do we still need roads, why do our sneakers not lace themselves, and why do our hockey goalie masks not glow in the dark? Well, David Gunnarsson of DaveArt.com has taken care
