There were 8 teams making some sort of adjustment to their looks, let’s start up in the Arrowhead with a pair of teams making big changes to their identities.

Cloquet Hockey Club
The Cloquet Hockey Club introduced a new logo and uniforms for the 1905 season. Gone is the script C in favor of a new serif C, still in red. A new number font is also adopted that better matches their new logo.

The uniforms also get a complete overhaul, removing the sash and adding white cuffs. The new C logo is centered on the chest rather than over the heart like their previous set.

Zenith Athletic Club
After 6 years of fielding both ice hockey & ice polo teams, the Zenith City Polo Club has made the decision to rebrand to the Zenith Athletic Club. The move was done primarily due to players no longer playing for both the hockey team and polo team like they had when the hockey team first started. In the years since they have become two distinctly different teams under one organization. Sure, a player from one team might fill in here and there in the other sport if someone is sick or injured, but generally the two teams are made up of completely different rosters. They opted to keep the “Zenith” but drop the “City” in their name and have officially become an Athletic Club like the St. Paul Athletic Club & the Phoenix Athletic Club in St. Paul which also compete in multiple sports & athletic competitions.

The Zeniths also adopted a new uniform for the first time since joining the AHA. Their new uniforms add more color but keep the general striping the same. The red stripes are now blue and every other white stripe is changed to red. The Crescent & Star logo remains unchanged on the front of the sweater.

We move now to the CMHL where a couple teams adopted new uniforms.

Detroit Hockey Club
Up in Detroit they decided to add a thick white chest stripe to their sweaters, inverting their old english D and numbers to red.

St. Cloud Hockey Club
The Granites made a small tweak to their solid black duds, moving their StC monogram to the front of the sweater and making it noticeably larger. The rest of the uniform remains exactly the same.

Heading west we have two more teams making uniform changes out in the RRHL.

Grand Forks Hockey Club
Grand Forks adopted a unique new sweater for the upcoming season. The new look remains primarily navy but now features a thick red vertical stripe on the front and back of the jersey, extending up and over the shoulders and collar. Their logo is made a little smaller and both the logo & numbers are changed to white for better legibility.

Kittson County Hockey Club
The oldest hockey club in the state is making their first uniform change in nearly a decade, adopting an all new logo and sweater. The old KC monogram has been replaced with a block KC for Kittson County.

The new KC logo is placed large on the chest but aside from that there isn’t much difference for Kittson County’s uniforms which remain solid red everywhere else.

Finally we head south to the St. Paul Hockey Association where our final two identity changes occurred.

Como Park Hockey Club
Up in the Como Park neighborhood of St. Paul, the local hockey team introduced brand new uniforms featuring a similar, but not identical, COMO wordmark. The biggest change with the new look is the move from navy to black as the team’s color.

Their new uniforms are black and feature the new COMO wordmark like previously mentioned, but they also adopt a unique stripe design on the sleeves and socks.

Hudson Hockey Club
The last identity change comes from Wisconsin where the Hudson Hockey Club introduced slightly tweaked new uniforms to coincide with their move off of the St. Croix River and into Lakefront Park. The general look is exactly the same, but their black & blue stripes are made a bit thicker and their H logo is enlarged ever so slightly.

So many good sets coming and going! Expected for the time, but still disappointing to see teams like Zenith and White Bear Lake abandon the thin horizontal stripes. Como's new jerseys make up for what was lost, though!
