Theme week

 Rebranding some teams?

 

Since this week is theme week I recently went through and looked at the list of the teams we have across all the leagues. I think there are quite a few teams that could use a rebrand, some a small logo change, some a whole relocation. There are a couple teams I want to focus on here in this media spot and I feel like they are the most common ones to be picked on. The first franchise I think needs a change is the New York Americans. I honestly feel the logo isn’t good and the team name doesn’t go well with the location.   I feel like DC should take over the American name, or have something to do with patriotism! I think that makes more sense since the White House and all that jazz. For New York, the Liberty or something works (I know it’s a WNBA team but it’s just so clean, or we can take the New York out of the name and replace it with one of the boroughs, such as Manhattan or Brooklyn, i personally like the Brooklyn Bandits for the New York team or the Manhattan Metros! I feel like it’s super clean and is something new and fun. 

 

  Another change I would make would be to take Calgary or Vancouver and relocate them to Montreal or Quebec City. I feel as if as hockey fans, fans of Montreal or not, they are a storied franchise in the NHL so to me it would be honouring them by putting such a storied franchise in our league. I know there are devoted Vancouver and Calgary fans who wouldn’t like this, so hopefully this could be part of an expansion, but if not this makes the most sense to me. A name for Montreal would be something like the Montreal Olympiques. Montreal was the first Canadian city to hold the Olympics and we can put the name in French to honour the French Canadians! Quebec City’s name could be the Quebec City Frontenacs! The reason for this is that it is a five-star hotel that holds history in the city. 

 

   The next change I would make is some logos. Fairly recently we had Riga get a new logo and it is so clean now. My own team the Warsaw Predators is a team I think needs a new logo. I feel like there are better options than what we have currently. Let us use a top predator in real life, such as a Siberian tiger or a shark, to give the team a little more life and make it pop more with the team colours. I think the Shark is the best option due to the team colours that we currently have. I think the location for Warsaw is great and we should keep the team in Poland!

  These would be my rebrands that I could see the league doing eventually. I feel like change is coming due to this theme week so we will sit back and enjoy! 

 

  Sorry if this media spot seems out of wack and not the best. Feeling super sick all week and it hasn’t gotten better lol! Cheers
