0578: The WNHL Series Finale

The last team in Nick Burton's WNHL series — a fictional Women's National Hockey League — hails from the Canadian capital, Ottawa. Here's what Nick has to say about the design:

Ottawa Nationals — The nation's capital takes the name Nationals to show its pride. It drops the black from the Senators scheme to give the team a more classic look. The logo is a maple leaf, with a sublimated Peace Tower inside the leaf. The maple leaf used for the logo is the same from the old Nationals team of the WHA, just updated.

0571: The WNHL Series, Part 5

The six-part Women's National Hockey League from Nick Burton continues this week with the Quebec City Wolves. From Nick on the origin of the design:

Québec Wolves/Loups du Québec — The team takes the color scheme of the Quebec Nordiques. The unused logo of the Nordiques was to be a wolf, so the team takes the name Wolves. The logo is an edited Minnesota Timberwolves logo.

Just one more team to go now. Check back next Wednesday for the finale. As for tomorrow... something "devilish" is in store.

0543: The WNHL Series, Part 1

Women's hockey will be the focus of the next six Wednesdays. Nick Burton presents his WNHL series, wherein he imagines a female pro hockey league and its Original Six franchises. This week we feature the Montreal Royals.

Nick writes: "Montréal Royals/Royals de Montréal — The Royals take their colour scheme from the Canadiens but darkened to make the team unique. The team name Royals is derived from the city name itself, which translates to Mount Royal."
