Teaker... glad the photographer got his act together on this pic!! :wink: I love the Wolf... and the colors are effective.... because they're not purple..
... and yes.... The Rapids and Warroad logos are timeless pieces...

Doesn't Edina have any jerseys with the logo, or is it just letttering??

I've always loved the Lumberjack on Cloquet's uni's (biased I know, but I grew up on it). As much as I love that look, I would like to see the Jacks use an alternate. Perhaps 'CLOQUET' in either block or cursive across the chest.
Warroad's have always ranked right up there IMO. I like the classic Edina, Roseau's cursive "Rams" is great too. Grand Rapids throwbacks are hard to top.

This is the current Ely logo. I like the cartoonish style.

The new one is good but the other shows more teeth, seems tougher and is black..

Were there oppositions to the old logo that it seemed too mean??

I don't know....hahaha....I am 9,000 miles from Ely (across the North Pole)!

:lol:

I like cartoon figures for jerseys. Why? Cartoons have to have simple designs and tend to be instantly recognizable. Too many logo designs end up being cluttered, too dense, hard to recognize unless you get close.

There is an ice hockey club in Helsinki, Finland: Jokerit Helsinki. They have a pretty cool logo. Let me see if I can find it online.

Another cool one is that of Traktor Chelyabinsk, a Russian league team. Polar bear snapping a hockey stick in two! This is the logo that White Bear Lake should use.

We had better be careful, Goldfishdude, or we're going to get kicked into The Cafe again!!

I always liked the Jefferson Blue jerseys and the St Cloud Cathedral yellows are nice but my favorite is the Warroad Black jersey, classy, intimidating..

HAAAA!!! I think this is a legit hockey talker... I love this Bears jersey... and I agree with the "cartoon" logos.... So much could be done with Panthers, Jaguars, Wildcats, etc...

It looks like the reason the photog didn't pull that first ely jersey tight is because he couldn't reach it. Isn't that a pic of the jersey hung in the X?

I'd vote for Warroad's black uni's. Still have the classic warrior head logo and nothing beats black for an intimidating team like Warroad.

I like the St Paul Saints and the Stillwater Ponies logos.

Yes, I like Warroad's also. Bright yellow and black look well together.

Yeah, the jerseys are probably hanging up a ways. But whoever hung them up should have seen that they were going to hang weird and weighted down the front so that the logos would be clearly seen. Attention to detail....NOT.

Someone created a website to show off those jerseys. How hard would it be to get them down so that they could be photographed clearly?

Oh well, it is better than nothing.

People seem to be going the non-logo route, and some may call it plain but I think this one is super crisp with a nice contrast with the blue and white.

Any time you can incorporate the 3-color lettering it adds tremendously.. However, is that the Minnetonka logo?? I wasn't sure, because I thought the laces at the neck were diamond-tipped on the Tonka ones, plus, usually there is a money clip full of $50s and $100s near...

I think that is the jersey of the 2010 AA State champion, right?

I have always taken a liking to my WBL Bears logo, as well as the Edina Hornets logo....

I absolutely love the Osseo Orioles hockey logo - similar to Goldy Gopher Hockey logo. As a general fan of sports, that is one logo I would wear just from a fan standpoint. I think the Chaska/Chanhassen logo is pretty cool. The plain M for Minnetonka or a picture of a Mustang don't do it for me.

Including/Excluding your own team's logo, I would be curious to get input on what others might think are some of the cool logos in HS hockey, one that you would wear, even though it's not necessarily the team you support.
Fishy Dude, as a former Osseo Oriole, and a current Bears fan, I must commend your good taste. I guess for me, it's all about the orange and black!
If you can't say something nice, don't say anything.

I haven't seen an uglier outfit than the MN Wild. The logo is great, the color combo is hideous.
