The name vote for the Minneapolis Bruins will remain open until 6pm tonight, as of right now it is a 2 horse race with the Bakers still in front.

Woah, I've missed a lot. 
First, congrats to the Monarchs.
Second, wow, the Bruins are really gone? Well that's disappointing. Out of all the names chosen, I'd pick; Aces or Bakers. (Aces being my first choice)
Third, Eveleth is doing, subpar, so I might try another team to go along with them. One of my favorite identies you've made are the Saints. So unless there is one already available. Would you mind making me a sig for em. 

Keep up the great work! It's real fun readin through all this.

Thank you, glad you like it!

Here is a Saints sig for ya.

What a THRILLER that was...congrats to the Monarchs!  (Funny thing how in the game where Campbell's at, the Kellogg Cup heads back to Canada)

Needless to say, this offseason looks to be the biggest the MAHL's had yet...not only do we get to see the former Bruins' new brand (barring a late voting surge, it looks like they're gonna be the Bakers), but also with the expansion speculation all in the hockey news, the MAHL will be ready to make their own typical offseason expansion plans.

Personally, I'm hoping this is the offseason we see the league expand to Iowa (Mason City is where I suppose the first team will go).

Haha, it is a bit ironic how a non Minnesotan team won the cup for the first time since Superior back in 49. However, I don't think it will really effect Campbell's decision of whether Minnesota could support a team having seen how big the sport has gotten in the state.

Sorry to disappoint, but this is actually going to be a fairly light offseason, with only a couple tweaks being made and no expansion teams for the first time since 1955.

I will say that Mason City and Iowa will be getting teams in the near future however.

Two Red River Hockey League teams decided to create a new rivalry trophy, the first in RRHL history.

Only one team made a change to their uniform besides the Bakers, and that was South St. Paul. The Mavericks made a drastic change in their uniforms, but opting to keep the classic Red Bull logo.

The Mavericks seem to be embracing red, opting to make it the primary color of their home jersey for the first time in the teams 51 year history. The striping on the home and away uniforms was drastically simplified, it was also moved to the bottom of the sleeves and hem. Player numbers are added to the shoulders, and the MAHL 50 logo is added for this season.

New

Old


Let me know what you think, comments are appreciated!

I like the balance between the community for the new identity, you did a good job giving a look that all could enjoy. I think the Army Green is a great way to become unique, but the two color option might need to change over time to keep the team looking different in a league that could possibly hit 100+. The script logo is a respectable first look, but again there are a lot of scripts so I think a small tweak to make the script theirs would go a long way (maybe add a Baker’s hat too the B? Just spitballing) The actual jerseys earn praise from me, they look clean and the whites do look to have an apron with the green starting at the top of the arm. I think being the first team with a shoulder cap color would be very cool for later on.

For the Mavs, I am going to miss the hell out of those crazy shoulder stripes, but the red does look better for sure. Kind of reminds me of the Ottawa “O” jersey. This is an upgrade.

Edit: Needed to add that the Bakers must keep those brown gloves once black becomes the norm. It completes that set

While the flu prohibited me from casting a vote for the name, my choice won anyway with the Bakers. You knocked this one out of the proverbial park! Stellar new look for them. Nice work!
