Moose Jersey Concept

I know it's a little strange that the only other concept post I've done on this blog was also the Manitoba Moose, but that's all I've gotten.



That's a pretty crazy jersey, to be sure. But I had it so I thought I'd post it.

And if you have or have seen concept art for any other team in the minor leagues, feel free to send it along and I'll get it posted here when I have a chance. Email me at nhllogos@gmail.com.

Kids, Design A Sharks Jersey!

Here's a cool contest that a reader pointed out to me. The Worcester Sharks are now accepting submissions from kids ages 14 and under to design a St. Patrick's Day-themed jersey that will actually be worn in a game! It sounds like a fun little gimmick.



Here's a direct link to the Sharks' official site where you can get the full scoop on what's going on. Now's your chance to design a jersey that could actually be worn on AHL ice!

So basically, if you or someone you know is of the proper age group, get a design put together and submit it to the Sharks. And, being a reader of this blog, you might also want to send a copy to me as well as I can post it right here for everyone to see. I'm really interested in seeing what the kids come up with. Email me at nhllogos@gmail.com.

Here's the template the team is offering.



If you win, your design will be worn by the Sharks on March 16, 2008 in their game against the Hartford Wolf Pack. You also get free tickets for your entire class for that game. And you'll take part in a ceremonial puck drop at the beginning of the game. All of the jerseys will be auctioned off after the game to benefit Sharks Charities.

The deadline is December 21!

Good luck!

The Tournament Has Begun!

Man, I did not realize how much work it would be to launch a second tournament while I already have one going.

Anyway, the AHL Tournament of Logos has now started with the posting of the first poll. It's a little different from what you're used to in that we're starting with a preliminary round. Because of the odd number of teams in the AHL, I've decided this would be the easiest way to solve that problem. So the winner of the Stars/Monsters poll (posted today) will be the last logo placed in the bracket — facing the Grand Rapids Griffins.

The other big difference is that the first team to advance past the first round in each conference will win a bye for the second round. It may seem complicated, but it's the best thing I could figure out with seven polls in the first round on each side.

The most important thing is that each logo was placed in the bracket randomly!

So every team had an equal chance of getting placed in every position. You can see the bracket by clicking on the graphic at the top of the sidebar. The schedule will be in the sidebar just as soon as I can get it made. Hope you all enjoy the tournament!

AHL Tournament Starts Monday!

To the right you see the results of the poll where I asked you guys which league you wanted to see voted on first. Well you answered with a resounding "AHL"!

Out of 1809 votes, 1574 (87%) chose AHL, while 235 (13%) chose ECHL. This means the AHL Tournament of Logos will begin tomorrow!

One quick note about that, by the way. If you're familiar with NHLToL, I just wanted to point out that ToHL will be slightly different with regard to polls. Each poll will remain open for five days and, unlike NHLToL, new polls will be posted some time in the afternoon at ToHL — instead of early morning.

Hope that doesn't throw anybody off too much. But that's just how it is.

Also, the AHL bracket will be posted at some point tomorrow as well. All 29 teams will be involved. Since it's an odd number we'll begin with a preliminary round to get things down to even numbers. I'll describe more about how the tournament will work tomorrow.

Remember, spread the word! If nobody votes, there's no point to this site!
