Looks like the Braves also updates their number font.

I like all the updates, especially the silver roads for Hibbing. I had forgotten the Braves existed until you posted the update.

Ah yes, I forgot to add that thanks! I'm glad that you like the updates, and White Bear has definitely been a team to forget in recent years lol.

While moving I found my St. Paul Athletic Club replica jersey from Classic MN Hockey and realize I kinda have to back them considering I have a real jersey that currently has a fictional team. Mine is from the 15-16 season though so the colors are completely different. Wish the winged foot logo they had was used in some way in the MAHL history though, that logo is beautiful and it be fun to see what you could do with it. (Would also fit the Saints name they have now)

Also, these are some good clean ups. I think all are upgrades but I’m unsure about the gold shoulder. Great logo adjustments!

That's awesome! I'm assuming you're referring to this jersey. I decided at the very beginning to base this version of the Saints that it would be a mix of the real life St. Paul Athletic Club and real life St. Paul Saints into one franchise. I decided to stick with the green and red because it worked better for the combined team and it was unique to the league. I thought about making a flying foot logo early on but passed in favor of the script since the Victorias used a winged V as their logo.

Another FANTASTIC set of logo refreshes (Chisholm's refresh looks awesome, and I know Hibbing's new logo is going to define their new era)...you know where to e-mail 'em at.

Ready to see the two new expansion teams!

Thanks, I'll send them once I get the expansion teams up!

Re: Minnesota Amateur Hockey League

Burnsville is a suburb to the south of Minneapolis, in Dakota County. It is a town experiencing a major population boom at the moment, with a population increasing by over 1.7 thousand per year ans sitting around 10,000 at the moment. The Bucks will be joining the Twin Cities Hockey League West.

The team will be called the "Bucks" in honor of the large hill in the center of the city, Buck Hill. Their logo is a stylized buck head and their colors are green and wine.

Re: Minnesota Amateur Hockey League

East Grand Forks is a suburb of Grand Forks located across the Red River in Minnesota. EGF is a sizable town with over 7,000 with a history of hockey on the frozen parks of the river.

The team will be called the "Pointers", referencing the area of town south of the river where many of the players resided which is referred to as "The Point" where the land narrows as the Red River and Red Lake rivers converge. EGF's colors are blue and orange.


Let me know what you think, comments are appreciated!

Re: Minnesota Amateur Hockey League

Also, in completely random news. I had to make a poster using only original artwork and lettering for my final assignment in typography. So now there is a poster for one of the biggest rivalries in the MAHL sitting in a glass case at Bemidji State University lol.


Here's the high res version

Re: Minnesota Amateur Hockey League

Two more FANTASTIC designs! (Though I admit I am a bit partial, because the Pointers' color scheme is the same as my HS alma mater's, and the Bucks are a good design to put out just before Christmas).

Also, you know how I keep saying I'd buy LOADS of MAHL teamwear if they existed?  I would buy that poster too if you ever sold prints of it...it is another classic, classy design like we're all used to seeing from you.

Re: Minnesota Amateur Hockey League

GREAT updates all around. Chisholm's refresh gives it a modern edge that fits the era nicely. Even Hibbing looks great. (vomits in mouth) The Braves have a nice update as well.

I love everything about the new Bucks! That logo is wonderful. The Pointers have such a classic look already. I kinda wanted to see the triangle P filled with that orange but it looks nice as-is already.

Also, that poster is ace. Best one of the bunch.

Yes, that is the one! I like the colors you went with, it is better overall. I also really enjoy that take on the monogram they have. Also, good point with the Victorias. Maybe it could find a way on an a throwback way down the line or a “what if” Jersey night when it gets popular.

For the new teams:

Burnsville: Wine is an oddball color I would use to make a team and I’m a little upset I didn’t beat you to it. Almost went that direction with Rosran in my series but felt like it didn’t fit the purpose of the color in the team history. Love the thick white outline on the darks for the logo. A great identity for sure.

East Grand Forks: Like the logo a lot, but I’m secretly hoping this identity goes in the direction of  UW-Stevens Point who use a pointer dog as their logo. I think it be a unique spin on an overplayed animal in sports.

Good lord, so I do need to take a college course to do graphic design! Semi-jokes aside, good job, it looks great!

Re: Minnesota Amateur Hockey League

How do you keep making such great identities, and improving already good ones. The Bucks are lovely! One of my favorites you've made so far!
