Based on regional affiliation, I'll have to root for the Storm, but dang, that identity needs some serious love. If they last, hopefully you'll be able to give them a true makeover.
The Vulcans look solid for the era. Memphis is a solid look too, I really dig their set actually, minus the socks. Philly has a classic look. Is the yellow outline on the numbers the same gold? Maybe my eyes are playing tricks. We've already personally discussed the absolute miss that Sonny Sixkiller is not number six. I like the brown a lot for the Hawaiians and hopefully you'll be able to do some fun stuff with them. For Florida, I've never been a fan of that logo. I like the red but the blue pants are... a lot. Hopefully they can simplify their look in the future. Yuh yuh, black and gold stingy bugs. Good look all around for Charlotte. Might lowkey root for them.

I really like the new Mustang. Simplified and so much more striking than my original. Sky & Wally, excellent job! My only quibble is where the bottom piston and the point of the shield intersect; I wish they were either together or more separate. Other than that, great job!

1994 REGULAR SEASON
With the most impactful offseason in league history making its mark, the '94 season figured to be one of fireworks as a handful of teams loaded their rosters and widened an historically narrow gap of parity that the THL has been known for. With a few juggernauts and a few powerfully elite teams, the league prepared for a season that could define the decade.
Willard Division: The changing of the guard with Bronkowski leaving the Whales saw their crosstown rivals make a major step forward as the Pioneers cruised to the top of the division behind a rapidly ascending Toby Von Otto. The Pios offense was matchless as Von Otto took home several pieces of hardware, including League MVP. The new-look Crusaders with Pete Lentini aboard climbed up in the standings behind the tough defense of Filip Korcz who took home Best Defenseman. The high expectations for the Serpents after a Cup berth landed them in some hot water as they weathered injuries but managed to stay in the playoffs behind excellent play from Patrick Quinn. The Anchors had hoped to contend but it was clear their roster isn't in the same tier as others in their division. The Whales predictably fell off the cliff but were still a tough out as they decide on their future. The Rockets played well enough all things considered, and things look bright for their rebuild.
Hatch Division: Despite a lot of fuss in the offseason about reloading, the Kodiaks, Swans, and Wizards all found themselves in the same boat as disappointing seasons left them out of the playoffs. All three teams will have major decisions to make on the futures of their rosters. Kirlow came the closest with 113 points and continued good play by the Romanov brothers but were otherwise a dud. The Blazers were predictably bad as they continue to reshape their roster. The [b

The green and silver looks good and fits the time period great, but I'm gonna miss the green and gold color scheme for Kavalos.
Yeah, honestly it hurt me a little bit to change that gold to silver but it's the nineties.

Arrowhead = Stripe City. Haha. Seriously though, Duluth stands out just by having a wordmark and no stripes. Nice to see some early success by TRF.

1994 Amateur Player Draft
The '94 draft class was considered by many scouts to have a high floor but lacked top-end talent. Headlining the top consensus group was Swedish winger Louis Lindstrom, along with British-born goaltender Billy Monday and Norwegian defenseman Oskar Nygard. Narva-born defender Andy Cosseboom and BC centerman Ollie Rubidoux rounded out a top five group.
Before the draft, the Pioneers traded their 1994 1st-round pick, 1995 1st-round pick, and the rights to prospects Hoyt Everhart and Kraig Held to Kavalos for winger Denis Lemieux. The 29-year-old Lemieux had privately requested a trade from a rebuilding Electrics team and the Pioneers were especially interested in his services.
The Electrics traded rising goaltender Olin Schuster, 26, to the Yubay Falcons for their 1994 1st-round pick, 1995 1st-round pick, and goalie Mac McFarlane. Kavalos turned around and flipped the '94 Yubay pick and their own 1995 2nd-rounder to Waterdee to move up from second to first in the draft order. It was rumored that the Kavs were enamored with Lindstrom and Waterdee was on the fence about him.
1 – KAV (via WAT) – LW Louis Lindstrom (Sweden)
The Swedish winger caused the Electrics to initiate a bevy of trades to land the #1 pick in order to draft him. “Sweet Lou” is a talented winger with a high IQ and slick shot. The Kavs' brass was certain that the rebuild would be centered around Lindstrom and traded away Lemieux and Schuster to make it happen. Not every team felt so strongly about Lindstrom but Kavalos went all-in on initiating their new plan.
2 – WAT (via KAV) – D Oskar Nygard (Norway)
The Dragons had a difficult choice but elected to go with the Norwegian defenseman Nygard who is a talented player and more of a stay-at-home defender with a high IQ that Waterdee desperately need

I like a good underdog story and dislike Cinci, so go Lions!
