Bakersfield Condors Jersey 2015

The Bakersfield Condors unveiled their brand new 2015-16 jersey set and secondary logo.

 

I really like this jersey. They are modeled after the team’s parent club in Edmonton. They both feature the full Condors logo with the wordmark.

 

 

The right shoulder features the iconic Oilers logo, and the left shoulder features the Condors new secondary logo – a condor foot gripping an oil drop, signifying the relationship between the Oilers and Condors. Additionally, the AHL logo is included on the lower back of the jerseys.

I always enjoyed the condor’s jerseys when they were a part of the ECHL. However these are very professional. I think the players will enjoy wearing them.

Will the Calder Cup stay in Manchester?

     It is official.  The Manchester Monarchs ended their 14-year tenure in the American Hockey League by capturing the Calder Cup championship on Saturday night with a 2-1 win over the Utica Comets.

     The Monarchs took the series, four games to one, to complete a memorable final season in Manchester. The Los Angeles Kings’ top affiliate will play in Ontario, Calif., beginning in the fall.

     Executive vice president Matt Welch said the accomplishment of the Monarchs would stay with the city. “That’s New Hampshire and Manchester’s cup,” said Welch. “That was won here. The banner is going to be here. That’s ours and then hopefully the year after that, we raise a (ECHL) Kelly Cup.

     With that being said the Calder Cup will not belong to any team playing in the AHL.

     Most of the players on the Monarchs will be playing for Ontario next year. So technically they will be defending the AHL championship.

Division alignment announced

     The AHL has announced the new division alignment for the 2015/16 season. The new Pacific division will also include the San Antonio Rampage, and the Texas Stars.

     The interesting part of this new alignment is the addition of the San Antonio Rampage. The Rampage just signed a five-year affiliation agreement with the Colorado Avalanche. Colorado was one of the eight teams mentioned that could be making the move west.

     The addition of the Texas Stars was defiantly a surprise. However it does make since with the addition of San Antonio. It also may have put an end to any rumors about the Pacific Division breaking off from the AHL, and the possibility of the teams playing a shorter schedule.

 Let’s see how this plays out after the schedules come out.
