Velevra's Expansion Team Announcement
#1
(This post was last modified: 01-12-2019, 05:12 PM by Velevra.)

Hello SHL!
It is with great pleasure that I announce the newest team to join the league:
The Chicago Syndicate
[Image: text_skyline.png?width=629&height=619]

Based on pilot feedback, the city of Chicago was a popular spot for expansion! It is the third biggest city in the United States, has strong hockey history, and adds some mid-western representation to the SHL!  

When it came to the team name and logo, I wanted something unique that would stand out! I also wanted a team name that had some historic significance to it. Two obvious inspirations were (1) the storied history of the Chicago Outfit crime syndicate and (2) the now defunct SMJHL team: the Chicago Hitmen. I didn’t want to call the team the Outfit however or simply just revive the Hitmen and thus I ultimately landed on the Chicago Syndicate. I felt the name was unique and had a cool “ring” to it!

Next up was the colour scheme! I wanted a colour scheme that was unique and would stand out from the other current SHL logos. I’ve always been partial to black and gold myself and was excited when I realized I could run with that! The result was the logo pictured above.  

After that we created some jerseys for the team pictured below:

We will release some third jerseys later on that will pay tribute to the Chicago Hitmen!

Before I conclude, I will add a disclaimer saying that these jerseys are subject to slight change and the final products may be a little different! While I know team branding is always super subjective, I hope I have been able to provide you with some insight into the logic and vision behind the team branding. I’m beyond excited to see what our first season brings, and I hope many of you will also be excited to become members of the Syndicate at some point in your SHL careers.  

I will also be happy to answer any questions people may have HERE

Cheers!

Mixed feelings on this one.
I kinda like the colour scheme but not sold on the team name even though I understand how it ties to the city of Chicago.
