Re: Minnesota Amateur Hockey League
Is the script supposed to be spelled with a K instead of an H? Regardless, deep purple and white is a classy look.

Wow, can't believe I never caught that lol. I based the logo and script off of this jacket from around this time period and I guess I thought the h was a k and never noticed.
I just went back and fixed it, thanks for pointing that out lol I feel dumb

That's really my belief on all things Canadian that I just don't understand.
I really like Winnipeg's look, and I could see an interlocking W-M in the future.

Thank you, and I'm just gonna say you might be excited about another team I'm about to post...

Haha, I know they do like throwing extra letters around (It's color not colour, fight me), but this one was on me

Re: Minnesota Amateur Hockey League
Once Winnipeg had announced they were joining the league, it caused Fargo and Moorhead to come together and declare they would be leaving the Northland League indefinitely due to distance to the other teams in the league. They still wanted to pay though and didn't want to fold, so they reached out to Thief River Falls as well as a few other cities located along or near the Red River of the North separating Minnesota and North Dakota. Grand Forks, ND and Crookston, MN both agreed to help form a new league, and once they were on board the Railers shortly agreed to join this new league. The league will be called the "Red River Hockey League" and is based in Fargo.
Let's start off with the Crookston Kings. Crookston is a decent sized town of about 8,500, it is not far from Grand Forks or Thief River Falls so I could see some natural rivalries beginning right away.
The team will be called the "Kings" in reference to the towns original name "Queen City". The Kings use a unique and regal color scheme of purple and red.

Re: Minnesota Amateur Hockey League
The other expansion team set to join the Red River League is Grand Forks. Grand Forks is one of the biggest cities in North Dakota and is also home to the University of North Dakota who is beginning to emerge as a powerhouse in the NCAA, growing the sports popularity in the city.
They will be called the "Jets" referencing the Air Force Base in the city. The Jets colors are navy and red.
Let me know what you think, comments are appreciated!

Re: Minnesota Amateur Hockey League
I'm not a fan of Grand Forks' logo. I think the J is really forced in the logo, and I personally feel it would be better if the G matched the outside, with the F still in the middle, and leaving the J out.
I like Crookston a lot. Purple and red is an awesome color scheme, and the font for both the lettering and numbering is unique looking. So although the C itself is very basic, it's still a good, unique look. I get why a crown might not have been chosen (with Virginia being a successful team already using a crown for the logo), but a crown seems like a gimme for their logo (at least at some point).

Re: Minnesota Amateur Hockey League
With some of these names and unique schemes being produced, what I’m cooking up looks like it has taken some inspiration from you haha. Just beating me to the mark on showing it! Funny how similarities can be seen though. Guess great minds think alike.
I like the clean purple look for Winnipeg, but the W matching the color of the jersey is throwing me off. I know it’s justified being on a chest stripe with a script that needs to contrast the large letter so I couldn’t even give a suggestion for it. Just wanted to see if anyone felt similarly.
Crookston really found their own market in a league with many similar looks, and sometimes even names. The purple and red just works in my opinion and I’m shocked it is not seen more often. The C does its job for now, but I would like them to take their own route with the logo and use a full king body playing hockey to separate from the other crown team, I think it would really fit the times ahead.
Grand Fork has a classic look that I don’t have much to say about. I like the logo but much prefer the jet secondary. Although simple, it’s a really unique jet logo because of the choice to go with a skinnier passenger looking jet rather than a military one, and it’s refreshing!
With Winnipeg and Grand Forks stepping in I’m starting to think about taking back my comment saying that the Raiders would steamroll this league.
