My favorite expansion branding so far has to be the Madison Valkyries. I really like the way the colors work together, the magenta and the jade provide a nice visual together! I especially love the look of the Valkyrie and the pegasus she rides atop, and the way they come out of the V? Amazing!

Let's just make sure that we all know that all of them are great. My favorite is probably the Sound, but I have it on good authority that the next team will be the Ohio Vegas Golden Knights

I think the Cincinnati six is pretty cool and unique. The colors are nice, I like the change of pace, and the fact that we didn't have an Ohio team was long overdue

I would be remiss to say that the Nashville Sound is my favorite of the four.  I really do like the darker shades of Red, Blue, and White that Ace went with, and each of the logos are a hit.  I promise, no coercion here at all…

Although they are all great, and unique in their own way, I’ll have to go with the Nashville Sound. Their colours, along with their sick logo and alternate jerseys make them the most appealing expansion branding to me!

I only saw like two of the new logos and tbh I was kinda surprised I couldn't easily find a post announcing all four teams and their branding.  That' strange to me.  I do like the Cincinnati one.  I know there's a Madison one but it's ok

I quite like the whole vibe of the Nashville Sound. I love the colors, the name is awesome and has potential for fun promotional stuff. And it's cool to finally see a team in Nashville.

I mean all of them are really amazing to be honest, it was really hard to choose what I would like most! They did a great job!

I like that Madison tried to use the old Anaheim Ducks color scheme but I don't think it works with the rest of the branding. I like the Sound and Six probably the best in terms of the complete package although I do like the idea behind the Denver theme but am struggling to appreciate the color scheme. It reminds me a bit too much of the old Tampa Buccaneers logo but with powder blue mixed in for good measure.

In my opinion the Nashville logo and sweater looks awesome tbf! The gms did a good job with the branding and yeah, hopefully they will be successful on the ice too!(not against BAP tho hahahaha)

As a Wisconsinite, it's gotta be Madison! It's always nice when Wisconsin gets some love, and Madison is a great city that I visit often, so I'm thrilled with the choice.

my favorite one is the new Madison Valkaries. HFFO did a good job with taking feedback and adjusting the logo to go from meh to great

I like all 4 of the brandings, the Denver branding is clean and I love the colour scheme, Madison's colours are amazing and the new logo is fire, Nashville is a classic hockey vibe, and Cincy's jerseys are top tier.

I don't know if i really like any of them. If I had to pick one it would probably be the Valkyries as I feel that that logo is about as good as it can get within its concept. I also like the color scheme as every other team uses a red white blue of some variation and they are the only different team.

Easily the Madison Valkyries now that they have been revamped. The colours, the logo, and the Scandinavian connection I feel in general. Everything about the branding feels special for me.
