Shorten it to ADRD Flames?

The fans at Glens Falls seem awesome, hope we get plenty of them on this board too. Quite the atmosphere for a press conference. Cool to hear the fans are not afraid to throw questions either.

Good to hear that the logo there is just a prototype. Don't get me wrong, I love the basic idea of using the Atlanta Flames "A" with the Calgary Flames colors, but as is, it's kind of uglyish. I'm sure it can be improved on.

Man, only 15,000 people live in the town? Is there some surrounding towns that bring in support too. Don't get me wrong, it looks like a great group of fans. Just seems odd that a town that small can support something like this.

So the population is 14,609 and the average attendance is 4,192? That means that 28.7% of the town goes to each game.

That nearly matches New York State voter turnout:

On the basis of unofficial returns, about 40 percent of registered New Yorkers voted on Nov. 2. But an analysis by the United States Election Project at George Mason University found that only 32.1 percent of the 13.4 million who were eligible — citizens 18 and older who are not convicted felons in prison or on parole — actually voted.

Yeah that's what I thought initially, but the Metropolitan area has a population of around 120,000. Pretty decent size for an AHL team.

As per press conference, logo is not necessarily finalized yet

I like the home color scheme "A" logo, would just leave it as is.

Love it. Good job, now I will likely finally get a farm team jersey!

I wish they would just leave it, but this was posted on Twitter.

Still, unless they totally screw it up I'll probably buy a jersey.

Me too, though it is a shame that the Flames aren't likely to lose all of that extra vertical piping.

A minute on Photoshop and this is roughly what I feel the team colors will look like.

I didn't bother trying to change those up because I didn't think anyone would bother to point it out.

I sort of had a different idea myself, I think we go a darker red:


And any mockup I tried, the home whites look terrible. Hopefully they have a good idea for them.

They're going to have the exact same colours and striping as the Calgary Flames jerseys.

Anyone else worried that the logo is going be the entire word "Adirondack" spelled out with the A in it being the Atlanta Flames logo?

I wouldn't be surprised if the jersey design was the Flames 3rds.

You underestimate how ridiculous people on the internet can really be!

Also, surprised nobody called me out for saying it was a BC flag on the shoulder instead of Alberta.
