Well so far i'll say valkyries has taken it one step further, i'm heavily biased cause i love the new tone of purple. Still every team had a really nice branding tho!
Better to give an espectacular fight than to win or lose without meaning

I do not know if I like any of them to be honest. It is also hard to be unique in an already powerfull occupied league.

I haven't really spent time looking at the branding. To be quite honest they all look pretty decent and if the person creating them didn't like it then it wouldn't be making the final cut.

My favorite new expansion branding is the Nashville Sound, in large part due to the location itself. Nashville is a fantastic city with loads to do. The logo is nice as well.

This is coming completely from PBE bias since I was with this team for a long time, but I utterly love the Nashville Sound branding. Rubs off on my heart so well that its impossible to ignore.

As much as I like all four expansion teams branding, I would have to say that Madison is my favorite. The logo is fantastic and color scheme works super well! It also really plays to fantasy and mythology!

cincinnati 6, for the following 2 reasons:
1. kinda cool, neat city ( i have heard) fun colour scheme and i like the logo, it pops, its clean. big fan of bridges, personally. that's the good stuff
2. sveven gud, can do no wrong
my favorite expansion team i think is the valkyries because it appeals more to me in the color scheme and i just like it. Ithink its weird one of the team is a gardian of the glacier but is striking his sword into the glacier!

I really like the Nashville sound because I am biased and got to see it in process while Ace worked on it and no one else showed me their cool stuff until it was done.
Quote: What is your favourite new expansion branding for the upcoming teams and why?
My favourite expansion branding is the Nashville Sound, because I like the different kind of form the logo has taken, with it being a guitar pick. I also like the colors, and Nashville is a cool city and not obscure at all so it's fitting that it would get an SHL team. All of the expansion brandings have good and bad aspects in my opinion. None of them are awful, they all have redeeming qualities, and there aren't too many things I would have done differently.

They're all really good, but I think my favorite is the Valkyries. I really like the colors, and Valkyries is a pretty fun concept for team mascot/name, and would have a lot of potential for more cool alternate logos/jerseys.

My fave of the new teams was split very closely between the Valkyries and Glacier Guardians, but if I had to give it to one I'm gonna have to go with Madison. The purple and teal is just a fun combination, the branding is on point, and it's satisfying to say (which matters far more to me than you might expect)! All four are great additions to the SHL, but Valkyries, you've got the shout out from me.
