@@icewyre fair enough :), I think the batallion logo is very underrated, I think if you were rating the whole jerseys and not just the logo they'd probably be higher.
@@icewyre I think the problem with the junior logos as of the past decade or so is the forced modernization of the logos and the adoption of the NHL colors. Mississauga is a perfect example, went from the majors with unique jerseys to leafs Jerseys with fish on them. How many teams in the CHL have yellow and black colors? In the OHL alone you have Hamilton, Kingston, Sarnia, Batallion 3rd jersey... It just seems like we are losing the uniqueness, that's what makes the batallions jersey special to me. Its extremely unique
I think the Moose Jaw Warriors logo is supposed to represent the snowbirds, which are in Moose Jaw. Their previous logo fit the Warrior feel a bit more.
The Calgary Hitmen aren't named after the Assassination Hitmen haha they are named after Bret "The Hitmen" Hart who was a famous wrestler in Calgary and was a owner when the team was a Expansion Team ever since he gave his Nickname to the team to use they have kept it and recently they raised a banner for him into the rafters of the Saddledome in Calgary!
I remember the Hockey News had a major junior league logo rankings once about 20 years ago and Val-D or had the exact same design. (I think it was dead last)
the Ice Dogs should've been higher up cause the logo is badass with the dog having that sneaky muttley like grin like he just did something naughty (like he went and took a shit in the opponent's territory and now he's skating fast to make a getaway
The Pete's? You made em last? I am barely a minute in and you made this Oshawa Generals fan happy ...lol ( I am typing this as you talk about Val D'or so this is a hot take. And then I see you were you put my Gennies? Yeesh)
@@icewyre ya. I disagree with a lot of your picks, to me, the Kelowna Rockets have a horrible logo. And most of the logos work better with the uniform as a package or worse. Plus you clearly are a sucker for the more modern logos to a degree. A lot of the OHL ones you don't like such as Owen Sound and the Steelheads I get, but in the end, iconic teams often are trapped by their logo and the traditions. The Pete's to me were always a dopey name and logo, but they have been that in those colours since the 70's. They are trapped by it. And Portland dumping their lookalike Black Hawks jersey to me is criminal. Their new logo works if you didn't have 40 years of a copy of the classic Chicago look. Now that said, you nailed how dopey the Hitman and Winnipeg Ice logos are. And the utter lack of anything in the Kingston logo. But Ottawa's logo suits their old school uniforms and the history of that look. And my Generals logo looks great on their uniforms. Their unis pay homage to the Original Generals (who were sponsored by GM of Canada with their crest) in colour with just a stylish font. It isn't like we would ever change that for a military general logo..... So ya, great video, I disagree with your placing of some (hate London, never liked their green and gold but that is just me) of them. But entertaining and your opinions are what they are. I just know the history of a lot of those logos and why they are what they are....
Yeah I actually found that out after, which is pretty cool. He had a stint coaching there in the 2000s as well, which is what I was thinking of. He was also the owner, though I'm not sure if he still is or not.
@@icewyre Personally, this list would have been super hard for me to make cause I really love 90% of the logos in Junior hockey LOL. I just love the simplicity of Kingston (Works quite well for their branding, but the old frontenacs logo for the mid 2000's needs to come back), 67's is just so classic (but the angry puck logo was awesome too), The Gens again work great with their branding. I love simplicity personally, but this is your list! You did a great job on it man loved the video. For me personally, I'm putting the teams that lack creativity such as the Kitchener Rangers, Owen Sound was pretty bad, not a fan of Winnipeg Ice or the Steelheads (bring back the Majors).
Yeah I usually don't rank by iconic status so a lot of just letters or wordmark things don't hit high in my eyes. But oh man, that Owen Sound logo is so bad haha! It's an animal, which is why its where it is, but man... it is so bad. But yeah, I actually really liked when Mississauga was the IceDogs. I know that's Niagara's team now, but when I was younger I always thought that was cool too.
The Frontenacs logo is awful! Being from Kingston, I take no offence to your ranking of our boring logo. However I disagree about Oshawa’s spot. I feel that theirs is one of the best in the OHL. Along with Windsor Spitfires and Barrie Colts. As for WHL, I quite like Lethbridge Hurricanes, Swift Current Broncos and Tri-City Americans. QMJHL, I like Cape Breton Screaming Eagles, St. John Seadogs and Rouyn Noranda Huskies best.
I was thinking he hates the O Eastern Conference clearly. I am an Gens fan, I love our colours and I like this logo better than the previous generation logo. Old classic style logos mean a team has history. They were designed before Graphic designers were trying to "make some symbolic image"
I’m from Lethbridge and we’re called the Hurricanes because Lethbridge is one of the windiest cities in canada, wr are close to the Rockies and we get really strong winds pretty frequently that are like hurricane winds
Thunderbirds at 28 Indigenous art represented respectfully is barely above halfway up. Also Bret “The Hitman” Hart’s brother died on live TV bc of corporate negligence. If you wanna not root for a team named after killing people, then ur gonna have to wait until the CHL’s Vince McMahons
Great video but that comment about the hitmen was just stupid lmao, it's a super cool name and their named after Brett the hit man hart the wwe wrestler who owns them or owned them I'm not sure which. Why wouldn't you wanna be named after something so intimidating? It's hockey not the peace core.
Oh I didn't realize they weren't keeping the name Ice and the logo. Interesting. Do you think they'll still use the same Wentachee Wild logo as they used previously in another league?
As someone from Prince Edward Island, I’ve been saying that we should incorporate a lighthouse into the logo for years! There is tons of them here. There could maybe be some cool design with the confederation bridge and a lighthouse that could really work
I’m from Lethbridge Alberta but we visit pei every summer and I’ve fallen in love with the Charlottetown Islanders. There logo is one of the best in hockey but I think a lighthouse logo would be interesting
as a Saskatoon blades Season ticket Holder, that Logo has through a few Variations over the years, it has a nickname known as the "pacman" because it is if you look close enough it looks like the the video game character, its a well known logo that returned in 2017, it was originally used from 1980-1994.
Yeah, forsure there's a lot of love for the hidden word 'ice,' but... to me, in my eyes, it makes it look worse. No hate to those who love it, just something that lowers it more than it would be for me.
In fairness to the Kitchener Rangers, they were the farm team of the NY Rangers, until the NHL expansion in 1967. I'm sure that doesn't impact your rankings, but at least there is a legitimate connection between the Rangers and hence the use of the logo 👍🏻.
I mistakenly thought that the QMJHL top 10 started before the WHL top 10, but I was completely wrong haha. I very much underestimated the QMJHL logos.
are you canadian mr . "Im not a fan of american patriotic logos"

No one likes Calgary
The ones that look like NHL logos are because back in the day the six Orginal teams all owned Junior A team in the OHL
@@Hogtownboy1 Oshawa and Peterborough didn't keep that old NHL colouring once they lost the NHL affiliation (the Pete's never had a Habs influence actually (
Seattle thunderbirds are way too low, batallion way too low, mooseheads too low, Barrie colts too low, Windsor spitfires too low
Interestingly enough, I actually agree that I put the Thunderbirds too low. However, the others, I like their placement still.
@@icewyre fair enough :), I think the batallion logo is very underrated, I think if you were rating the whole jerseys and not just the logo they'd probably be higher.
Perhaps. I haven't seen all the jerseys yet, but some that I've seen are like 10x better than the logo itself.

The Calgary Hitmen are actually named for their primary owner. WWE Hall of fame professional wrestler, Brett "The Hit Man" Hart,who's from Calgary.
The Calgary Hitmen aren't named after the Assassination Hitmen haha they are named after Bret "The Hitmen" Hart who was a famous wrestler in Calgary and was a owner when the team was a Expansion Team ever since he gave his Nickname to the team to use they have kept it and recently they raised a banner for him into the rafters of the Saddledome in Calgary!
Ah I see. Makes sense. I knew Hart was involved with the team, I just never knew he had the nickname Hitman
I remember the Hockey News had a major junior league logo rankings once about 20 years ago and Val-D or had the exact same design. (I think it was dead last)
Makes sense haha
@@williamspence2079 it is bad
It’s the Quebec Maritimes junior hockey league
It was still major when I made the video

WITH THE ICE BEING REPLACED BY Wenatchee Wild HOW WOULD YOU RANK THEM
The Saskatoon blades logo is actually a post to be Pac-Man
The Niagara logo IS Don Cherry’s dog
The Manitoba slander and disrespect
Oh it's Kootenay slander as well lol
@@icewyre I can live with that
The Saskatoon blades logo is actually a post to be Pac-Man 18:44
I'm Highly Offended By The Ice Logo, Lol 😅. I Don't Like The Mascot That Much, Though. He Did Give Me A Mini Stick A While Ago, For Some Reason.
Patty is still coaching the Rems
Yeah I actually found that out after, which is pretty cool. He had a stint coaching there in the 2000s as well, which is what I was thinking of. He was also the owner, though I'm not sure if he still is or not.
My least favourite logo is the sudbury wolves
I can see that. I just think having blood on your logo is pretty sweet
@@icewyre After watching this i realize how bad the Val dor logo is. Also could you do one with the National Lacrosse League?
@@wJacko I'm thinking about doing a big ranking of some major North American sports leagues that aren't a part of the Big 4, like MLS and NLL.

Cause it's windy is why it's called hurricanes use to be Lethbridge broncos
Yeah that was my guess, but still... Hurricane is a different kind of windy
