Offseason Time-Waster #1 - Which SHL team has the best logo?

I'd be biased and say the Chiefs for obvious reasons, but I'm gonna have to rock with the Rage here. Red & black color scheme, and you got someone looking right into your eyes to strike fear.

I love our logo here in Manhattan. I know I’m in the minority that I actually liked the old logo (I grew up as a fan of the Alaska Aces), but the new logo is a work of perfection. The details and coloring in it is amazing, plus the symbolism for the Empire State Building and the M. 10/10

I'm in agreement. I'm biased toward red-white and red-black color schemes. Even if I didn't go there, that may be from my childhood Texas Tech fandom. The way the current logo comes together and incorporates themes - the skyline, the M, the bull (which ties thematically into "bull market," a term Wall Street loves to see become frequent)...it is a work of art unto itself.

I have to say I like the Manhattan Rage logo the best, because it is well done, clean, and symbolizes both the city and the team. I think it's super creative and well done, but also different and stands out.

In my entirely unbiased opinion, the Manhattan Rage have the best logo.

1. Red and black is a classic color scheme that always looks good, and it matches the "Rage" name perfectly. The grey outline and white horns/eyes make the logo pop and stand out, no matter what color it's placed on top of. The Rage use red primaries at home and the usual white primaries away, and the logo looks sharp on both. But it would also look good on a black primary alt, or any one of the 50 shades of grey. The only reason it wouldn't look good on every color is because color theory exists and some colors just don't look good together, no matter how choice the logo is.

2. A raging (you can tell it's raging because of the eyes) bull is the perfect symbol to represent the Rage name. You could do that angry German kid from the golden age of the Internet, or an irate customer who is demanding to speak to the manager at a grocery store, but there's a reason "raging bull" is a phrase. You wouldn't say "raging salamander" now would you? Salamanders don't rage (I assume). Bulls RAGE. So does Manhattan. The customer is not always right, but a bull is.

3. As if those two things weren't enough, you have the Empire State Building on the bottom of the logo. It's subtle and classy, but is instantly recognizable and screams Manhattan. But in case you forgot the Empire State Building is in Manhattan, there's a helpful "M" right below it to remind you. They really thought of everything.

I rest my case, your honor.

I'm going to be completely biased and say that the Anaheim Outlaws have the best logo. I think the logo strikes fear in the heart of our opponents due to it appearing to look like an 'OUTLAW' which is honestly pretty spooky. This most likely gives us an advantage going in as it'll throw them off their game a bit.


WHO AM I GONNA PICK? Obviously the Toronto North Stars Stars GANG GANG
In all seriousness, Toronto has the best and it is no debating. Sorry not sorry, we are the best. That's all, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk

I'm not much of a logo critic, but if I had to pick a favorite I'd go with the Spectors. Something about the strong purple color scheme and those eyes staring you down sticks out to me in comparison to the other logos.

The Edmonton Blizzard have the best logo in the SHL and it ain't even a contest. The different shades of blue combine beautifully with the white and gold accents, and it's such a bad ass looking fox.
Also I was involved with it so I may be just a little bias. Karey ftw.

I'm trying to remove my Chicago tinted glasses, but this new logo is on point. I think Wasty did a great touching up the logo and making it fit more as one that looks like it fits hockey. One thing I'm sad about is we are no longer fedora tippers but that's not a huge deal. The new logo gives off a lot more serious vibe which I like. The old guy looked like he was new to the business, and maybe he'd break your legs for not paying a debt, but feel a little bad while doing it. Not this new one, no sir. The gangster in the new logo looks like he would murder you and your family just for looking at him wrong on a bad day. I feel like this is a great metaphor for the team as a whole as well. The fresh expansion team that was weak starting out, but now they're experienced and out for blood.

Here is the new logo for people that haven't had a chance to see it:

I'm a big fan of the Edmonton Blizzard logo because in general I'm a sucker for color schemes with two different blues, especially when one is navy and the other is more of a teal/baby blue.

The gradient between them on the fur is fantastic, and the overall symmetry of the logo is mostly great. The only problem I have with it is that it seems a bit off balance with the muzzle of the fox tilting it slightly to the right.

If I can't pick Toronto, my pick is either the Blizzard or Panthers. Both have great color palates, that look really clean and unique. Two of my favorites on the entire site

I like the broncos

The Broncos are not a team that I am aware of so I guess I don't even need to debate this. Specters logo best logo anyway.

The best logo in the league belongs to Edmonton. It's a Karey original with beautiful shape and color. It's sleek, clean, and efficient; just like the roster.The best test to give to a logo is to see if it will work in black and white (one color on a background). Franchises that pass the B/W test are Toronto and New Orleans. Others can be cleaned up a tiny bit, but I do think their branding is the strongest.
