Hartford Wolf Pack --> Connecticut Whale

[burrn 0]

Not exactly new, but looks like Hartford Wolf Pack will become the "Connecticut Whale" somewhere in the mid season.

I'm kind of torn, because I'm all for the whalers coming back but the wolf pack had such a nice jersey.

And it's kind of weird that they're still going to be the Rangers affiliate, yet they're going to wear green jerseys...?

Yikes!! Are they going to bring back the "Brass Bonanza" as well.

They're not the "whalers" yet, so probably not now...but I guess they're trying to.

The new logo is a disaster! It looks like it was designed by a kid that just graduated Community College Graphic Design program. Really poor logo.

I agree with the post above- the logo is horrible. The name is on the lame side as well. Stuff like this makes me sad.

Logo is laughable.

Logo is laughable.

There is the understatement of the day.

Once the whale always the whale.....

Oh my eyes!

And this is official, by the way.

It's the Gorton's Fisherman jersey of the AHL.

That's got to be a joke.

Just when you think they couldn't disgrace the whalers name anymore, Pucky the whale is back, and uglier than ever before

[mug25 2]

Terrible.

It's really depressing that the jerseys of the Danbury Whalers or the FHL are so much nicer than that of an AHL team.

i like it. 3rd rate photography though. at least throw some fresh mitts on them, as well.

I have season tickets to Danbury. The jerseys are great, I actually bought a blue one the first might they were on sale

I was just gonna point that out. Dusty photo, dusty mitts and yes dusty jersey. What a shitshow...

Gotta love how they get 13k their first game as the Whale, win it, and then come back the next night with 3k. Marketing strategy is TOTALLY working.

Grachev got a goal though.

I still don't like the logo, but on their website the games photos with matching gear doesn't looks as bad. Still like the whale/nucks color scheme just not that logo. Danbury does look much better.

Yeah I agree it looks alot better!

I just hate the design. It's not sleek or any kind of modern. It reminds me of the fishsticks old Gorton's jersey, with the waves on the bottom.
