I like the logo and the colors! I grew up watching the Wheeling Nailers so I’m a fan of the ECHL as a league. I kinda wish they had a hat in the red color, I’m in the mood for a new one but I have a few black ones already.

With as iconic an our state flag is, I am really surprised the Jersey is not yellow/gold and red.

That’s a really good point. I live in Colorado currently and my first thought was that those are close to the Avs colors. I didn’t poke around the website too much but maybe you know, are they an Avs affiliate?

Anchored by a bold color palette of desert red, sand, and Rio Grande blue, the Goatheads look is designed to stand out on the ice and across merchandise.

I am unsure what "Rio Grande blue" is, but it sure as shit is not a color I have ever seen in the Rio Grande unless a bepsi can is floating past.

I see nothing about the Avalanche mentioned.

Maybe I'll see them if they play the Cincinnati cyclones, why the East Coast Hockey League though?
