One year after taking over control of the Vancouver Bighorns from his father, Donald Smythe unveiled a new look for his team. The Bighorns have been stuck in the league basement and decided to change their look in an effort to turn around their image. "We got to a point where we simply did not feel confident in really anything about our hockey club." said Smythe. "We feel we're making some positive changes and slowly moving in a good direction and the new logo is a great place to start." The Bighorns' new logo features a letter "V" with ram's horns on the top of it italicized to invoke speed. The uniforms are very similar to what Vancouver wore before, the biggest change is that the maroon is now a couple of shades darker.
In other news, one of the PHL's two newest franchises, based in Long Island, NY, announced they will be called the Long Island Concordes. The name Concordes was chosen as a tribute to Long Island's aviation history, while the team chose to go with the locator "Long Island" rather than "New York" to better identify with the community. No word yet on when a logo will be revealed.
