Best AHL Logo: Manitoba Moose!

MOOSE NAMED CHAMPION!

Congratulations go out to the Manitoba Moose logo this morning for being named by the voters here at ToHL as the best in the American Hockey League! So in case you were ever wondering which AHL logo was the best, wonder no more!

The Moose finished the final poll with a whopping 61% of the nearly 2,500 votes. No other poll in this tournament even came close to that number of votes, by the way. Just goes to show everyone wants to be part of determining the winner.

Over 23,000 votes were cast in this tournament on the way to determining the champion. So as always, my biggest thanks go out to everyone who cast a vote. You guys are the reason I do this.

Moose fans, enjoy your bragging rights!

But it's not over here. We'll be determining the best logo in the ECHL next. So stay tuned for that. I should have a bracket and first-round schedule up soon.

Poll: Moose vs Sound Tigers

	vs
Manitoba MOOSE		Bridgeport SOUND TIGERS

This is it! We're down to the last two logos in the American Hockey League. I thought I'd make you sweat it a bit by waiting a day to post this poll. (Actually I did that so it would end on Saturday. Don't ask.) Anyway, I'm dying to see the results so get your votes in. Will it be the Manitoba Moose or the Bridgeport Sound Tigers? You decide!

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.

Moose Concept Art

One major element of NHLToL is the concept art I post on an almost daily basis. No reason I shouldn't be able to do that here as well.

I was sent some artwork a while back designed with the Manitoba Moose in mind. It was created back when the club joined the AHL and plays up a lot of different ideas for what the logo and uniforms. might have looked like.



And if you were wondering if there was more where that came from. Oh yes, there is. Check it.



So look them over and pick your favorite. There certainly are a lot of options to choose from. Ultimately I think they hit the nail on the head with their current logo. That bad boy could hold its own even in the NHL if you ask me.

Anyway, the inaugural tournament begins here in just three days. I can't wait! It's looking like we're going to start with the AHL, but don't fret, the ECHL won't be far behind.

For a look at the logo pools, click here. That should pretty much be the final for each league. I think I've got all the proper logos there. If not, be sure to let me know. Enjoy your weekend and the upcoming tournament!
